By Bud Shaver Santa Fe, NM- As New Mexico’s short 30 day legislative session kicks off in Santa Fe this week, it appears that the radical pro-abortion agenda that was defeated last year has been tabled this legislative session due to the lack of votes!  See below for a recap of the last legislative session. According to news reports, “A new version of the abortion bill pushed last year by Lujan Grisham is not included on the governor’s agenda for this year’s session.

By Bud Shaver El Paso, TX- In a new investigation, Abortion Free New Mexico has uncovered that a nurse at Hilltop Women’s abortion facility is performing illegal medical abortions in clear violation of Texas law. Hilltop also operates an abortion facility in Santa Teresa, NM which has come under recent scrutiny when Abortion Free New Mexico filed an FDA complaint regarding non-compliance with federal protocols for the abortion pill drug, Mifeprex. The Texas Health and Safety Code Section 171.003 clearly states that “An abortion may be performed only by a physician licensed to practice medicine in this state.”  Section 171.063(1) clearly states that, “the person who gives, sells, dispenses, administers, provides, or prescribes the abortion-inducing drug is…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- When Abortion Free New Mexico launched Faith to Action Friday seven months ago, we committed just one hour a week to prayer and protest at the University of New Mexico’s free standing abortion killing center. The UNM Center for Reproductive Health is using our tax dollars (as a publicly funded institution) to promote their radical abortion agenda that is killing babies up to 24 weeks gestation!  Jesus to his disciples in his darkest hour, “Couldn’t you keep watch with me for one hour?” Matthew 26:40 While an hour of prayer seems so minimal of a commitment, it meant so much to Jesus in his darkest hour and it means…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- Planned Parenthood is not just killing babies under the guise of a non-profit offering “health care” they are also a political machine that uses the MILLIONS of tax dollars it receives annually to funnel back into political campaigns to ensure that their killing agenda goes unimpeded.  …AND THEY ARE HOSTING A POLITICAL FUNDRAISING GALA IN ALBUQUERQUE ON TUESDAY!

We planted so many seeds for life and anticipate great things to come as a result of our efforts and your generosity. You are helping us to build an Abortion Free New Mexico.  One highlight from this month is that we released two undercover projects revealing that abortionist Franz Theard, doing abortions at Hilltop Reproductive Clinic in Santa Teresa, NM, and the four abortionists at Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) located in Albuquerque, NM are potentially violating FDA protocols for prescribing Mifepristone aka the abortion pill (RU486).

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- As the fate of Roe v. Wade hangs in the balance, state legislatures across the country have passed some of the most extreme abortion bills ever seen. While states like New York and Illinois have swept away abortion restrictions, other states like Ohio and Alabama have passed abortion bans that could provoke the overturning of Roe. In New Mexico, this past legislative session, pro-life legislators from both parties put partisan politics aside and crossed the aisleto defeat the radical pro-abortion lobby’s attempt to overturn settled law in New Mexico. New Mexico representatives and senators defeated HB-51 and upheld a criminal abortion law that was passed by the state legislature in 1969. If the criminal abortion…

Dear Friends,  This July was packed full of so many blessings! Thanks to you we traveled many miles to Washington D.C. for two very important outreaches and Bud’s trial for the Red Rose Rescue he did in March.  Bud’s mom stayed with our big kids while Tara was in D.C. and then remained until I returned on the 26th. We are both SO grateful that she spent almost the whole month in New Mexico and was such a huge help to Tara. While my mom was here Tara and I also celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary (and were actually able to have a date night.)  So many blessings and so…
