Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico testified in Santa Fe, New Mexico today. She joined her voice in solidarity with New Mexicans from all across our state!
Santa Fe, NM- HB 51 passed the House Judiciary Committee today with ALL 10 Democrats supporting the repeal of New Mexico’s criminal abortion statute. Passionate pro-lifers including Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico spoke on behalf of the babies and women who are victimized by abortion in our state.
The ten Pro-Death Democrats that supported HB 51 were:
- Chair Gail Chasey (D) District 18
- Vice Chair Daymon Ely (D) District 23
- Eliseo Lee Alcon (D) District 6
- Deborah A. Armstrong (D) District 17

- Matthew McQueen (D) District 50
In addition, House Judiciary Chair, Gail Chasey rebuked a woman during her testimony who pointed out that Rep. Micaela Cadena should recuse herself due to her ties to radical pro-abortion groups.
Abortion Free New Mexico is grateful to the four Republicans that opposed HB 51:
- Greg Nibert (R) District 59
- William “Bill” R. Rehm (R) District 31
- James G. Townsend (R) District 54
- Zachary J. Cook (R) District 56

Tara also urged legislators on the committee to VOTE based on a well formed conscience and to not invoke their faith in support of the pro-death legislation making its way through our legislature. Isn’t it time we hold our leaders to a higher moral standard and keep them accountable?
HB 51 will now go to the house floor for a full vote and this will show us exactly where our elected officials stand.
Please contact your house representative by phone AND email and urge them to vote no on HB 51. Go to Santa Fe and talk to your legislator face to face and urge them to oppose this legislation. Your voice matters.
