DECORUM COLLAPSES AS DEMOCRATS FORCE SB 30 FORWARD — CODIFYING A VIOLATION OF STATE LAW
Testimony Blocked. Survivors Cut Off. Missing Abortion Data Ignored. Bill Advances on Party-Line Vote. By Bud Shaver, Santa Fe, New Mexico — What took place in the House Judiciary Committee was not open debate — it was one-party rule in full display. Under Democrat leadership, committee power is being used not just to manage hearings but to control them, suppress dissent, and advance policy with minimal public scrutiny.

By Bud Shaver, Albuquerque, New Mexico — In a 24–15 vote, the New Mexico Senate passed SB 30, repealing the state’s abortion reporting requirement. Notably, senior Democrat Senator Pete Campos voted with Republicans against the bill. SB 30 eliminates a statute that currently requires all abortions induced in the state to be reported within five days to the state registrar, either by the institution in which it was performed or by the attending physician if performed outside of an institution. The reporting requirement does not publish patient names. It exists for statistical, public health, and oversight purposes. Now it will be gone. At the same time, many of the same lawmakers advancing SB 30 have supported sweeping new…
