Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico is resuming our monthly Faith to Action Friday prayer gathering starting on April 5, 2024. Every first Friday of the month we will gather (10:00-11:00AM) at Whole Woman’s Health abortion center (718 Lomas Blvd Albuquerque, NM 87102) to pray collectively and to offer invaluable resources as well as the gospel of Jesus Christ to women seeking abortions there.
Whole Woman’s Health is the most recent abortion center to relocate to New Mexico (from Texas) due to our lack of abortion laws. Their abortion center is located in downtown Albuquerque right around the corner from city hall, and just 1 mile from Southwestern Women’s Options Abortion Center. Whole Woman’s Health previously had 4 abortion center locations in Texas and after Roe vs. Wade was overturned they started raising funds to move their operation to New Mexico.
In addition to providing surgical, medical and telemedicine abortions, they also operate the Wayfinder Program which covers the cost of women’s abortions, travel and lodging who come from out of state to their abortion center. Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers have encountered women who have received this type of funding who then feel like they are not able to change their mind. This is a very concerning form of coercion that the abortion industry is currently implementing to make women believe they don’t really have a choice but to go through with their abortion.
It is so important for the pro-life community to counter this latest form of coercion and let women know that they actually can choose life.
Watch this KRQE coverage that outlines why they chose New Mexico and how they have commercials encouraging Texas women to come here for abortions.
“Abortion Free New Mexico is poised to begin a concentrated prayer and outreach effort at the Whole Woman’s Health abortion center located in Albuquerque where babies are murdered up to 20 weeks of pregnancy. We invite the pro-life community and Christians across the state to join us to ensure that every woman seeking an abortion knows that there is help available and that their baby is created in the image of God.
We as believers in Jesus Christ must put our faith into action, in the public square, every chance we can to thwart the evil of unrestricted abortion tourism into our state,” stated Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico.
