    God Saved 3 Babies Today

    By Tara Shaver,

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- ​God saved three babies from abortion today in Albuquerque, New Mexico out at the Alamo Women’s Abortion Facility! All three moms received a Love Box, diapers and blankets. Praise God for the Volunteers that are the hands and feet of Christ on the sidewalk!

    “The smiles on their faces – there’s just no mistaking that they know they made the right choice. They are happy! No smiles like that on the faces of the people who didn’t choose life. Thank you God!” Mark, Abortion Free New Mexico Volunteer

    These moms arrive to the abortion clinic with no hope for the future with their baby, and are completely unaware of how much support the pro-life community has to offer them. This support extends throughout their pregnancy and beyond. Please pray for all of our volunteers who are out on the frontlines at three abortion facilities in Albuquerque. Pray that more Christians will respond to the call to to rise up and put their faith into action.

    Our ultimate goal is to prayerfully cover these abortion facilities EVERY hour they are open.

  • Staggering 565% INCREASE In Out of State Abortions In New Mexico Since ROE V. WADE Overturned

    Staggering 565% INCREASE In Out of State Abortions In New Mexico Since ROE V. WADE Overturned

    By Bud Shaver,

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- The leading pro-abortion research and policy organization, Guttmacher Institute, published the most recent data available revealing a staggering increase in abortions in New Mexico since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. According to Guttmacher Institute, 71% of abortions performed in New Mexico were from out of state women in 2023. By contrast, in 2020, 38% of abortions performed in New Mexico were women from out of state. The total number of abortions performed in New Mexico in 2020 were 5,880 (38% out of state) therefore, 2,234 abortions were from out of state women. Shockingly, the total number 

    of abortions performed in New Mexico in 2023 were

    20,950 (71% out of state) therefore, 14,875 abortions were from out of state women. 

    • This represents a staggering 565% increase in women coming from other states to have their abortions performed in New Mexico since 2020!​​

    According to a report from the Pinon Post,

    14,200 Texas babies were killed in the womb in New Mexico, marking a tragic influx since the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.”

    That means, 95% of all out of state abortions performed in New Mexico are from women traveling from Texas.

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

    Every day Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers minister to out of state women coming to Albuquerque for abortions. The majority of these women are from Texas as two Texas based abortion facilities relocated to Albuquerque after Roe v. Wade was overturned. These killing centers specifically target Texas women. Many of them are experiencing conflicting emotions as the abortion industry and its collaborators are using new methods of coercion by funding travel expenses and accommodations in addition to fully funding their abortions. It is time for more concerned citizens to rise up and be engaged in the battle for Life that we are now facing. Women deserve better than abortion, it is not healthcare and there are so many resources available to them.”

    Since 2017, the average number of abortions performed in New Mexico was around 5,000 however, after Roe v. Wade was overturned nearly 21,000 abortions were performed in New Mexico in 2023.

    • ​This represents a 353% increase in the total number of abortions performed in New Mexico since 2017! 

    While many are celebrating the overturning of Roe v. Wade and championing the fact that banning abortions is now in the hands of each individual state, the sad reality is, the number of abortions performed annually in the USA actually increased from 930,160 in 2020, to 1,037,200 in 2023 according to the Guttmacher Institute.

    Tara Shaver continued,

    Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, abortions have INCREASED as women just travel across state lines to kill their children. Pre-born babies all across America need and deserve constitutional personhood from the moment of conception. The United States Supreme Court and the U.S. Congress need to address the constitutional crisis that is looming for pre-born babies. How is the right to life lost by crossing a state line? This crisis is very reminiscent of the earliest days in this nation when free states and slave states existed. Surely we are not going back into that dark place where your place of residence determines your value.”
