by, Orae Dominguez Who are the members of this coalition seeking to defeat the pain capable ordinance? The RCRC was started by a minister in the 60s whose network of ministers procured pregnant women for Back-alley abortionists like mass murder Kermit Gosnell and Curtis Boyd. Boyd seems to have had a perfect safety record doing back alley abortions but one of his abortion patients has died and several have been injured in “safe legal abortions”. They took the name religious coalition for reproductive choice in 1973 to promote abortion and Roe v Wade, they “counsel” hesitant women in Albuquerque to have abortions. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in 2011-2012 PPFA…

Project 52 is an interdenominational church initiative engaging congregations for 52 weeks a year in promoting the sanctity of human life. The vision of Project 52 is to activate 52 local churches to adopt the Late-Term abortion clinic, Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) for one week out of the year. Each church will have the freedom to minister as they see fit to each and every abortion minded woman. During their designated week, they will claim the Late-Term abortion clinic for every hour, every day SWO is open (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). “Abortion in our community is a huge mountain that seems impossible to be moved on our own, however if every church…

This originally appeared at www.operationrescue.org Albuquerque, NM – The Albuquerque Journal released results of a poll today that shows 54% of Albuquerque voters support the proposed municipal ban on abortions after 20 weeks when babies are known to feel pain. Only 39% opposed the ordinance. The late-term abortion ban particularly enjoyed favor among Hispanic people who support the ordinance by 57% regardless of party affiliation. Those who identified as Republicans expressed an overwhelming 80% support for the ordinance. This is the first known effort to ban late-term abortions on the municipal level. Albuquerque holds the dubious distinction of being known as the “Late-term Capital of America” because it is the…

This month we were blessed to be a part of the first ever New Mexico Survivors Pro-Life Training camp in Albuquerque. It was a GREAT SUCCESS!

This event shook up the city of Albuquerque, in a good way– it was also very timely as it came on the heels of the…

Throughout the next few months we will be working to see that the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance passes at the polls. While it is still unclear which ballot the ordinance will land on, one thing is certain: If you’re not registered to vote and you live in ABQ, you won’t be able to make sure that late term abortions end in ABQ by casting a YES vote. We want to help you get registered but we also need your help to make sure others are registered as well. Registrars will be needed in many of the churches, but will also be beneficial in other places as well (events,…

Am I merely willing to talk about how horrible it is? Or am I willing to “expose the deeds of darkness” (Eph. 5:11) and do what it takes to help women choose life for themselves and their children. Our recent Survivors Camp and Town Hall Meetings have clearly woken…

The month of July was a roller coaster in so many ways. Ultimately, however, the Christian community in ABQ let their voices be heard by signing the Pain Capable Unborn Protection petition that is sure to eliminate dangerous and risky late term abortions in this city! Our signature goal for this effort was 15,000, how good is God, He provided nearly 27,000! We rejoice in this victory and are eager to see how this effort is going to transform this city for LIFE. We thank everyone who came together to make this happen, you know who you are. Pro-Life Groups Submit Double the Signatures Needed to Ensure a Vote on…

This report was written by and originally appeared at www.operationrescue.org Operation Rescue will join Project Defending Life and the Survivors for an event August 2-10th to train activists and bolster community support for a ban on abortions after 20 weeks Albuquerque, NM – In a titanic effort that garnered twice the necessary signatures in half the required time, pro-life groups spearheaded by Project Defending Life have submitted 27,000 signatures to the Albuquerque City Clerk on a city-wide legislative petition to ban abortions after 20 weeks gestation. That number of signatures virtually ensures the proposed late-term abortion ban will be on the ballot in an upcoming election, possibly as soon as…

The month of May was incredibly encouraging as God brought out workers for the ripe New Mexico  harvest. We kicked off the month with a Mother’s Day rally outside of the late term clinic. About 60 people prayerfully and peacefully surrounded the clinic with flowers and life saving resources for the moms going in for abortions. New prayer warriors came out with their children which is the strongest reflection of love and life possible for the community to see.   Everyday is mother’s day and we are privileged to minister, rescue and serve the pregnant, often desperate mom’s of New Mexico on a daily basis. Here are more pictures and testimony…

[slideshow_deploy id=’1147′] Recently a press conference and rally were held at the late-term abortion facility, Southwestern Women’s Options, in Albuquerque.  Tara Shaver of Project Defending Life alerted New Mexicans of the similarities to the Kermit Gosnell case that are happening right now in Albuquerque.  This coverage exposes the horrific consequence of Late-Term abortion…13% of the the time, the babies are born alive, “What happens to these babies at Southwestern Women’s Option’s in Albuquerque, New Mexico?” This shocking fact was uncovered and reported on by Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue during the Kermit Gosnell trial. Here is the link to the study that finds this disturbing conclusion:”Digoxin effectively induced fetal death…

Here is a list of businesses/events to boycott and contact. These businesses are helping to keep abortion in ABQ by supporting Planned Parenthood’s Event “Choice Rocks” TONIGHT (Sat. May 18) at 6:30pm. This is a small way to be a voice for life in the community by refusing to fund those who think it’s acceptable for Planned Parenthood to forever wound women and murder their pre-born children. I’ve also included corresponding website links, please join me in CALLING THEM TODAY to, respectfully, let these entities know that the pro-life community will no longer frequent them until they stop supporting Planned Parenthood. http://www.ppaction.org/site/Calendar?id=105980&view=Detail 30 Second Street KIOT 102.5 FM McGinn, Carpenter,…

The sidewalk in front of the the late-term abortion facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was the setting on Friday for a special Mother’s Day event. Over 60 people turned out for the Mother’s Day Rally and Outreach in front of Southwestern Women’s Options, and many showed up with homemade signs and also had flowers for the women going in. Organizers Bud and Tara Shaver summed it up as follows: “A lot goes into planning a successful event: buying flowers, making bouquets, getting all the literature that is passed out, signs, sending out event details, radio interviews, media press releases, etc.  With all the focus on the ministry directed at the women driving…
