Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico leader Bud Shaver, and faithful volunteer Mark (pictured above) helped a mom choose life this Thursday at the Whole Woman’s Health abortion center. As soon as Bud set up our new, “Hope & Help” display table, that our sidewalk counseling teams are now utilizing out at THREE abortion centers throughout Albuquerque, a woman approached them and picked up the “We Can Help” sign and stated:
“I just can’t go through with this, this is what I need!” [pointing to the sign]
She said that she just couldn’t go through with the abortion even though she had been to Whole Woman’s Health twice before. She is 17 weeks pregnant and said that she is really looking for help. She was able to connect with our partnering Love Life mentor and she has a meeting scheduled with a local maternity home, Casa de Mariposa.
Praise God that all of you continue to remain on the sidewalks, imagine if Bud and Mark hadn’t been there, she could’ve possibly gone through with the abortion thinking that there were no resources available to her.

Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers helped a mom choose life this morning at the Alamo Women’s abortion center. This mom flew from San Antonio, Texas after a tremendous amount of pressure from her parents. This pregnant mom became a hero today by choosing life for her baby. It took several volunteers and lots of conversation to empower her to rise above her situation and give her baby the chance to be born. She has been connected to the House of Refuge church in her area but we ask you to pray for the following:
That the mother is not swayed in her choice for life.
That the House of Refuge church connects her to all of the resources she needs.
That the father of the baby can find employment.
That the grandparents will embrace their newest grandchild.
Also, we are raising $700 to help reimburse her airfare costs. Please give a tax deductible donation to the Abortion Free New Mexico Life Fund to help take this burden off of this moms shoulders.

Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico is maintaining a daily/weekly presence at three local abortion facilities. Volunteers directly engage with women, men and family members to offer resources and the hope that is only found in Jesus Christ. Abortion Free New Mexico considers abortion centers to be a mission field, a mother seeking to kill her unborn child needs the gospel more than anything else.
On Monday, June 10th Tara joined another volunteer for sidewalk counseling at the Alamo Women’s abortion center. Here are the reasons women and couples gave for seeking to end the life of their child in the womb:
“When I told my boyfriend I was pregnant he told me to get rid of it. I already have one child, have had one abortion and I attend church regularly.”
“We already have so many kids.” (Older couple from Texas that looked to be in their 30’s-40’s)
“I already have 4 kids, my husband and I have already decided to do this.” (Mom admitted to having a previous abortion and believes in God and said that God would forgive her. Doesn’t attend church but does her own study of the Bible.)
“It’s Ok.”
While on the sidewalk, volunteers urge mothers and fathers to love their unborn child and to consider them as they do their born children. Our team also tells them the truth about fetal development, abortion effects and long term consequences. We also make sure they know that the abortion center is a business that wants to get paid for ending a life. Our team is grateful to be able to give these moms a Love Box with items to point their hearts toward their children.
(We are partnering with Embrace Grace and sharing their Love Box on the sidewalk.)
See the video below and please respond with your thoughts. How would you respond to the notion that “God will forgive me?”
Engaging the culture outside of an abortion center is a battleground. Most people entering believe they know Christ, yet they don’t honor Him with their actions or their lives. Please pray for those of us on the sidewalks each day and consider joining our team. This world needs Jesus, we must bring Him to them.
MINISTERING ON THE SIDEWALK WITH ABORTION FREE NEW MEXICO
How would you respond to the overwhelming response from out of state Texas women coming to New Mexico for their abortions?
“Yes, I believe in God, but he will just forgive me after I have this abortion.”
