Dear Pro-Life Friend,
This month the National Catholic Register published a timely comprehensive report about our efforts here in New Mexico:
“Congressional Investigation Documents University of New Mexico’s Use of Aborted Fetal Tissue: According to the report, university and state officials do not appear to be addressing the matter.”
Here is an excerpt from the National Catholic Register:
“Our research and the alarms we’ve been sounding over the years have finally paid off and turned into the panel investigating,” said Tara Shaver, a pro-life missionary with Protest ABQ, an Albuquerque-based pro-life organization.
“This has been a collective effort that has been building for years. The [Center for Medical Progress] CMP videos were really the true spark that lit this fire,” said Fr. Stephen Imbarrato: The Protest Priest, a pastoral staff member at Priests for Life who founded Protest ABQ. Father Imbarrato, [Tara] Shaver and others told the Register that pro-life leaders have been investigating the the University of New Mexico for several years. During that time, they said university officials stonewalled their public-information requests, even writing to the Archdiocese of Santa Fe to complain about their pro-life activities.
“Ultimately, it’s in God’s hands,” [Tara] Shaver said. “Despite the corruption and apathy in our state, we’re very appreciative that the select panel has taken an interest in what’s happening here. Unfortunately, most of our leaders and lawmakers really don’t care.”

Please continue to pray for New Mexico and our leaders.
Albuquerque, NM- Catholic Senator, Michael Padilla (D) hosted a fundraiser “honoring” Maggie Toulouse Oliver, a radical pro-abortion candidate running for New Mexico Secretary of State. Protest ABQ peacefully protested this event to send the message that politicians should make their faith a priority over their party.
This is a major problem that we face in New Mexico, politicians who separate their faith from their political ambitions. How does a self proclaimed Catholic justify honoring and raising funds for someone who stands in opposition to core tenants of their own faith? Only if they care more about their party than their faith! Pro-lifers don’t raise money for candidates that support Planned Parenthood and we definitely would never honor politicians who are radically pro-abortion. Instead, we pray for them and insist that they abandon their political policies that are immoral and grieve God’s heart.
