    “To our elected officials that believe they rule us: YOU work for US.

  • UPDATE: More Statewide 2022 Candidates Sign Pro-Life Pledge

    UPDATE: More Statewide 2022 Candidates Sign Pro-Life Pledge

    By Bud Shaver,

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- This weekend the Republican Party of New Mexico will hold its pre-primary convention to select the candidates that will be on the June primary election ballot. Abortion Free New Mexico leaders are delegates and will be present to cast votes representing Bernalillo County. 

    Abortion Free New Mexico is pleased to release its most up to date list of candidates who have signed a simple yet solid pro-life pledge. This pledge serves as a tangible declaration that defending life is a priority to each candidate that signs it. It is an assurance for the voter to know where each candidate stands.

    Candidates who sign Abortion Free New Mexico’s pro-life pledge are not receiving an official endorsement. Abortion Free New Mexico does not endorse candidates, we simply let you know who stands for life and entrust you, the voter, with the responsibility to see where the candidates stand on other important issues. Life, however, is the preeminent issue when choosing a candidate to vote for because without life, nothing else matters.

    Abortion Free New Mexico provides the candidates an opportunity to solidify their pro-life position by signing the pro-life pledge but the voters, their constituents, ultimately have to make the final decision who best represents them. Abortion Free New Mexico would love for every candidate to sign a pro-life pledge regardless of party affiliation. Please contact the candidates and see where they stand on other issues that are important to you. Vote your values and refuse to be silenced.

    ​Abortion Free New Mexico’s Pro-Life Pledge states:

    I pledge to defend life from conception to natural death. In making and keeping this pledge, I am committed to ending all abortion and all assisted suicide in the state of New Mexico.”

    2022 Candidates who have signed Abortion Free New Mexico’s Pro-Life Pledge:


    ​Tara Shaver spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement,

    “We are encouraged to have so many candidates sign Abortion Free New Mexico’s pro-life pledge to defend life from conception until natural death. We have worked hard over the years to encourage all of the candidates to boldly stand for life. We are thankful that so many candidates in virtually every elected office are not shying away from boldly declaring their pro-life position. These candidates are proud to stand for life and we stand with them for a better New Mexico. Together we are a stronger voice for those who have none.

  • “No Sidewalk Without the Savior” and Pro-Life Movie Screening

    “No Sidewalk Without the Savior” and Pro-Life Movie Screening

    By Bud Shaver

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- “No Sidewalk Without the Savior,” is a new ministry effort of Abortion Free New Mexico. We believe in the power of prayer to change hearts and minds, as we reflect the love of Jesus by extending grace and truth, at our city’s darkest and most hopeless places, abortion facilities. When two or more of God’s people gather for prayer, Our Savior is present and is able to light up the darkness and bring hope. (Matthew 18:20)

    The namesake of this initiative is in honor of our late friend and fellow pro-life abolitionist, Kortney Blythe Gordon. Kortney was the leader of our team while we served with the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, where Tara and I began our pro-life journey, and her passion for pro-life activism was contagious. Kortney loved the Lord, His children and couldn’t wait to become a mom herself. Her dream came true when she married and conceived her daughter, Sophy (named in honor of Sophie Scholl). Tragically, she and Sophy went to be with the Lord after being hit by a drunk driver, while pregnant. Kortney told us that if she had her own sidewalk ministry, “No Sidewalk Without the Savior” is what she would call it. This has stuck with us all of these years and we are proud to honor her memory in this very special way.

    “No Sidewalk Without the Savior” is being organized as a month to month prayer initiative where our goal is to have two people praying every hour that the UNM Center for Reproductive Health is open. Abortion Free New Mexico is utilizing day coordinators to recruit prayer volunteers, and there is still a great need for coordinators as the goal is to launch this prayerful presence on April 1, 2022.

    We are committed to continue our work to make New Mexico Abortion Free, as we increase our efforts in Albuquerque, by establishing a stronger pro-life presence in our city.

    Albuquerque is home to three surgical abortion facilities, Planned Parenthood, Southwestern Women’s Options and the University of New Mexico (UNM). Over the past decade we have worked to expose the fact that Southwestern Women’s Options is performing late-term abortions through all nine months of pregnancy. In fact, New Mexico has the national notorious reputation as, “The Late-Term Abortion Capital of the Country,” a designation we coined. As a result, there is a faithful sidewalk advocacy presence there, and thankfully CareNet brings their mobile ultrasound unit there weekly to help reach abortion minded women. Planned Parenthood in known as the nation’s largest abortion provider and is home to 40 Days For Life twice a year. In addition, the Catholic pro-life organization, Women’s Pregnancy Options (formerly known as Project Defending Life) is located next door and has a faithful sidewalk advocacy presence throughout the rest of the year.

    However, the University of New Mexico (UNM) has been flying under the radar with a minimal pro-life advocacy presence (only our Faith To Action Friday presence once a month). Unbeknownst to many, the University of New Mexico runs its own free standing abortion facility, UNM Center For Reproductive Health, that performs late-term abortions up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, that’s 6 months! As a tax funded institution, UNM has an endless supply of our tax dollars to fund their radical abortion agenda. In fact, according to our research, UNM is the heart of the abortion cartel here in New Mexico and in a shocking admission, openly celebrates abortion! ​

    “This year Abortion Free New Mexico wants to organize a constant prayerful presence starting with the UNM Center for Reproductive Health abortion facility for every hour that they are open. This is one of the darkest places in our city, but it can become a beacon of hope as Christians rise up to be a voice for the voiceless and their mothers. Will you partner with us in 2022 to make this a reality?” stated Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico.

  • Faith To Action Friday Postponed, Join Our Team Meeting 2/15

    Faith To Action Friday Postponed, Join Our Team Meeting 2/15

    By Bud Shaver

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- Faith To Action Friday has been postponed this month (2/4/22) due to extreme weather and unsafe driving conditions from New Mexico’s first winter storm of 2022. Faith To Action Friday will resume next month on March 4th. In the meantime prayerfully consider joining our team. Abortion Free New Mexico will be hosting our next team meeting on February 15, 2022. 

    • Click HERE or the button below to fill out our online survey. After you do we will notify you of the event location and more details.

    This year, in 2022, Abortion Free New Mexico wants to organize a constant prayerful presence starting with the UNM Center for Reproductive Health abortion facility for every hour that they are open. This is one of the darkest places in our city but it can become a beacon of hope as Christians rise up to be a voice for the voiceless and their mothers. 

    We will not only need daily prayer volunteers but we also need day coordinators that will help us recruit people from their own churches or network of influence. The pro-life community has a crucial opportunity to meet minded women where they are and that is at the local abortion facilities.

    “According to New Mexico vital statistics the abortion rate among New Mexico residents is on the decline. This affirms that as our efforts to expose the horrors of the abortion industry and reach out to women in crisis, New Mexico women are rejecting abortion and choosing life. That being said, as more New Mexico women are rejecting abortion, Albuquerque is GROUND ZERO for late-term abortion and is home to three surgical abortion facilities in New Mexico. One of which is run by the University of New Mexico and funded by our tax dollars,” stated Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico.

    Other opportunities for involvement include helping with event coordination, fundraising and since this is an election year there is much to do to help our pro-life candidates and more. 

    If you are looking to get more involved in 2022 we’d like to ask you to fill out our get involved form and tell us where you’d like to serve.

    We are committed to continue our work to make New Mexico Abortion Free, as we increase our efforts in Albuquerque by establishing a stronger pro-life presence in our city.

    This just the beginning of making 2022 our best year yet and in making sure that every woman has the resources she needs to make a decision for life. We are stronger together.

    We know that the moms and babies that we fight so hard for are worthy of protection because every life is God’s masterpiece.

    Let’s work together to build a culture of life in New Mexico. With you on our team we will be able to do so much more in our city to help moms, save babies, educate the community and be a shining light in the darkness.

  • Unity In Diversity!
