By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- Last month, Abortion Free New Mexico released a report on a woman from Michigan, who at 28 weeks of pregnancy, received the first dose of Pfizer’s BioNTech vaccine who delivered a nonviable 29 week old baby. Her baby had no heartbeat within three days of the vaccine and she reported the stillbirth directly to the VAERS website attributing the vaccine to her baby’s death. Breaking: 28 Week Pre-born Baby Dies in Utero After Maternal COVID Vaccination Abortion Free New Mexico continues to receive information from a whistleblower, who sits on a COVID 19 task force, who is concerned not only about these adverse reactions in pregnant women but also…

Dear Friends, The Lord continues to work in our midst here in New Mexico, and for that we are grateful. We are also so thankful for you and your faithfulness. Unfortunately, there are no political solutions to end abortion in our state, we however still have a strategy to work that can close abortion facilities and bring accountability. It is now going to be more important than ever to work at the grassroots level together, to save babies lives. May we find comfort and encouragement from Hebrews 10:23- “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” God Bless You! Thank you for your continued prayers, support and…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- In a shocking admission, University of New Mexico (UNM) Regent Robert Schwartz celebrates UNM’s participation in the killing of babies up to 24 weeks old in the womb and designated those who perform these late term abortions as heroes above those in the medical community who actually work to save lives every day. This occurred during a bi-monthly virtual Board of Regents Meeting where local concerned citizens spoke out against this atrocity. On Tuesday February 16, 2021, Abortion Free New Mexico’s, Tara Shaver (click here to hear her statement),  Prominent pro-life priest Fr. Stephen Imbarrato (click here to hear his statement), ​and Stephen Harrington, a concerned pro-life UNM alumnus…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- Today two identical radical pro-death bills are being voted upon on the New Mexico House and Senate floor, “REPEAL ABORTION BAN” SB10 (and its corresponding House Bill HB7). New Mexico Democrats have rushed both of these bills through and are set to finally strip The Criminal Abortion Statute [Section 30-5-1 NMSA 1978] off of the books in New Mexico. If the Criminal Abortion Statute is repealed, non physicians will be able to perform invasive surgical abortions on women without their consent and conscience protections for physicians will be stripped away. In addition, if Roe V. Wade is overturned New Mexico will have lost other protections that exists in the statute…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico is urging the public, especially University of New Mexico (UNM) Alumni and those with relatives attending UNM, to let their voices be heard at the next virtual Board of Regents Meeting on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. Details on how to sign up below. UNM, the state’s tax funded university, has it’s own free standing abortion facility (Center for Reproductive Health) that kills pre-born babies up to 24 weeks old in the womb. According to this 2016 analysis and this 2016 study, babies born at 24 weeks or 6 months gestation have a 60-70% survival rate. Viable babies who have a great chance of survival are being aborted by…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- Did you know that Democide: Death by the State, has killed millions of people over the past century? In our modern era, legalized or state sponsored abortion has surpassed all of the past tyrannical regimes combined! Life Institute estimates that over the past 50 years, 1.5 Billion innocent lives were killed by abortion around the world. In America, our government has killed over 62 million lives through state sanctioned abortion since 1973. For Sanctity of Human Life Sunday this year, Bud Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico was the guest speaker at Church of Our Lord, Anglican Church in Albuquerque. His sermon was titled, “Roe Revisited 48 Years of Legalized Abortion In America: Its Implications on…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico was alerted to the apparent death of a 28 week old baby in utero that occurred just three days after the baby’s mother received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. After receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, this adverse event was reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). According to it’s website, VAERS “is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines. VAERS is co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).” It is important to note that VAERS is a “passive” reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to voluntarily send in reports of their experiences to the CDC and FDA.…

This January marked 48 years of legalized abortion in our nation, as we remember all of the innocent lives lost we plead for God’s mercy and renew our resolve to faithfully work to end this grave injustice. It truly grieves our hearts, and we know it does yours as well. The blood of innocent children daily cries out to the Lord, just as in the days of Cain and Abel (Gen. 4:10). Together, through our ministry, we will always be a voice for these babies created in His image and we will continue to fight to hold the abortion cartel accountable. Thank you for your continued prayers, support and for…

Albuquerque, New Mexico- Not on December 21, but on January 21, 2021 dark winter officially arrived! As New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham deployed troops to surround the New Mexico and United States Capital and set up walls and checkpoints throughout Santa Fe with orders to use lethal force against any dissenting citizen, (under the guise of preventing violence that NEVER materialized) the most ruthless, illegitimate and potentially deadly regime in American history has begun.  Streets surrounding NM Capitol barricaded off from the public indefinitely, ID required for all entry, exit One of the first executive orders signed by Joe Biden will cripple New Mexico’s last remaining industry and the main source of financial revenue in our state, the Oil and Gas Industry. The Republican Party of New Mexico addressed…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- This National Sanctity of Human Life Day, also known as the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we encourage all believers to remember and mourn the lives of the unborn who have been killed by abortion. Since 1973 a darkness has covered our nation because of this needless bloodshed and even though many events have gone virtual this year we have three ways you can actively stand for the unborn in New Mexico.  In Genesis 4, God says to Cain, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.” Cain was immediately cursed for the murder of his brother in verse 11. How…

By Bud Shaver El Paso, TX- The Texas Board of Nursing has notified Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico that it has closed their official investigation of nurse and Hill Top Women’s abortion clinic manager, Gloria Martinez after her death of CV-19.  Read the official letter from the Texas Board of Nursing After Death Texas Nursing B… by Bud Shaver Exactly one year ago (1/13/2020) to the day, Abortion Free New Mexico reported that Gloria Martinez was performing illegal medical abortions in clear violation of Texas law.  The Texas Health and Safety Code Section 171.003 clearly states that “An abortion may be performed only by a physicianlicensed to practice medicine in this state.”  Section 171.063(1)…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- Last week we were blessed to talk with Fr. Frank Pavone, of Priests for Life, on End Abortion TV. This provided a great opportunity for us to educate his audience about the late term abortion crisis in New Mexico. It is hard for others to believe that late term abortion even occurs at all, but in New Mexico it is all too common. This is why we have fought so hard for over a decade for the lives of the precious innocent children who are scheduled to die each week in Albuquerque during barbaric late term abortions. Please watch our interview and share this email with others. By educating…

By Bud Shaver This year marked 10 years of ministry for us in New Mexico! We came here in 2010 as a missionary family, Tirzah, our oldest, was only 6 months old. Since then, we have been blessed with Eden (8), Moriah (6), Azariah (2) and our newest addition is due in April! As we have been so richly blessed, we have worked tirelessly to be a blessing for life in New Mexico. Over the past decade, Albuquerque has been exposed as the late-term abortion capital of the world (a designation we coined) our comprehensive research has produced complaints filed against EVERY abortion facility in the state and even criminal…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- As 2020 comes to a close, we would like to thank you for helping us to finish strong! This past week Michelle Garcia Holmes for Congress (CD1), Dinah Vargas for NM House of Representatives (District 10) and Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico testified during the final UNM Board of Regents meeting of 2020 which also included UNM President Garnet Stokes. They asked this governing body to immediately remove the “Heroes Work Here” banner, and for UNM to close down their late term abortion facility (UNMCRH) because the intentional taking of an innocent person’s life should never be associated with our state’s flagship university’s…

By Bud Shaver This election has caused us to pause and reflect on our 10 years of ministry in New Mexico. When we moved here a decade ago, our mission was uniquely focused to oppose late term abortion and expose New Mexico as the, “Late Term Abortion Capital” a designation we coined back in 2010 when we moved here after interning with Operation Rescue.  Our ministry efforts over the past 10 years  ironically can best be summarized by The New Mexico Political Report, (a subsidiary of Progress Now New Mexico): “New Mexico for nearly a decade has been the declared ‘mission field’ for some of the country’s most strident activists opposed to abortion. Bud and Tara Shaver, an activist couple with…

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!  We truly have so much to be thankful for and hope that you enjoy this Thanksgiving with your family. Be assured of our prayers of thanksgiving for you and your partnership with us in our pro-life ministry. God Bless You! “Seek the well being of the city to which I have sent you.

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- With the latest pandemic lockdown in full force here in New Mexico, civil disobedience has gone mainstream! Our governor has deemed Church non-essential and gatherings of more than 5 people are illegal, so our family of six is technically illegal! With unreasonable mask mandates (our governor even stated that we must wear our masks in our homes), social distancing and tyrannical regulations for small businesses, it seems that everyone is civilly disobeying some order routinely.  So now that civil disobedience is in season, why not do so for the babies scheduled to die in abortion clinics across our country? The National Red Rose Rescue…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico launched an online petition campaign four months ago demanding that the University of New Mexico take down the offensive, “Heroes Work Here Banner.” This week we recieved a call from UNM Medical Group stating that due to the massive numbers of emails they are receiving it is overwhelming their inboxes and disrupting their email services internally! The tech department asked us to update the contact for our online petition and direct our concerns to the Communications Director of the UNM Medical Group. Your voice is being heard loud and clear and is obviously striking a nerve! ​Due to the overwhelming response to our UNM petition calling on the University of New Mexico…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- The statement “Elections have consequences” could not be more true as we await the conclusion of the 2020 election in New Mexico and across the nation. As President Trump mounts a legal challenge to the overwhelming treasonous voter fraud perpetuated across the country, New Mexico has also been implicated in massive voter fraud.  According to the Pinon Post, “New Mexico uses Dominion Voting Systems to tabulate votes, the same software which has “glitched” in states like Michigan that changed thousands of Republican votes in swing districts to Democrat.   It is unclear if similar irregularities happened in New Mexico elections, as just minutes after the polls closed at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 3, Joe Biden was prematurely declared the…

By Bud Shaver Election day, on November 3rd, is right around the corner. We have been working tirelessly to help candidates during this final stretch. As you know, this election is incredibly important and will not only determine which way our nation will be led, but it will determine whether or not New Mexicans will finally be free from the bondage of the democrat party. For 90 years one party has called the shots and as a result New Mexico is dead last on every good list of national rankings. We are ready for New Mexico to rise above its dismal statistics to a thriving land of hope and life. Thank you…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- Michelle Garcia Holmes (R) made debate great again! On Sunday October 11, 2020 she debated incumbent Congresswoman Deb Haaland (D). Michelle Garcia Holmes was the clear winner hands down. She is everything we need in Congress to fight for New Mexico and work to build up our great state towards a brighter future. Watch the epic KOAT debate here: CD1 Debate: Michelle Garcia Holmes debates incumbent Deb Haaland The Piñon Post fact checked Deb Haaland in real time and caught her in some whoppers of lies!

Dear Friends, We hope that September was a very blessed month for you and your family. This month has been fruitful as we continue to work several strategies to make New Mexico Abortion Free. One thing that struck us this month was just how far New Mexico has come over the last 10 years of our ministry. As we listened to candidates speak this month about their passion for life and the realization that until we address the abortion crisis our state is facing that nothing else will change. It confirmed for us that our work to educate and inspire others on the issue of abortion, is helping to transform…

By Tara Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- On August 18, 2020, Abortion Free New Mexico published a report detailing information obtained from the New Mexico Department of Human Services related to Medicaid funded abortions in New Mexico from 2017 through 2019. In the report, we identified Dr. Steven Gough as the medical director for Women’s Specialists of New Mexico and reported that he had performed 8 abortions between 2017 and 2019. Dr. Gough has contacted us and states that two of the statements contained in our article are incorrect. Dr. Gough tells us that he is neither the medical director of Women’s Specialists of New Mexico, nor has he performed any abortions. …

By Bud ShaverAlbuquerque, New Mexico- A perfect storm created by formal medical and nursing board complaints filed against abortionist Franz Theard and his clinic manager, Gloria Martinez, in addition to Texas deeming abortions non-essential, has caused Hill Top Women’s Reproductive Clinic, an abortion facility in El Paso, TX to close its doors for good. Southwest Coalition for Life announced this weekend that after many months of seeing hints at the facilities closure, they have confirmed that Hill Top Women’s Reproductive Clinic of El Paso is for sale and will not reopen.  Exactly one year ago (September of 2019) Abortion Free New Mexico announced Hill Top as the weak link of the abortion cartel…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- This week has been a busy week as our New Mexico Republican candidates are boldly standing up to represent our Pro-Life Values and to support the most pro-life President in our lifetime, President Donald Trump! Over 200 supporters greeted the “Women For Trump” campaign bus as it stopped in Albuquerque on Wednesday on its way through New Mexico which is one 10 states that the Women For Trump Bus is visiting in an effort to flip them Red and elect Donald J. Trump on election day November 3rd.  (Pictured above are Michelle Garcia Holmes (R) for US Congressional District 1, Dinah Vargas (R) for House District 10 and Lisa Meyer-Hagen (R) for Senate District…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico will be holding a press conference this Friday, September 11th at 10:30am at the UNM Center for Reproductive Health located at 2301 Yale Blvd. SE. Local candidates including the Garcia Holmes for Congress campaign, Dinah Vargas for House District 10, and  Manuel Lardizabal for Senate District 26 will speak and call for the University of New Mexico (UNM) to remove the “Heroes Work Here” banner from their free-standing abortion facility. This banner was placed on the building within the last few months as abortions were deemed essential services in New Mexico. “The banner that currently hangs at the University of New Mexico’s free-standing abortion…

By Bud Shaver It is a humbling experience to work to obtain aborted babies and to arrange their burial. The pro-life community has worked diligently since before Roe v. Wade so that some of these precious pre-born babies have been given proper burial places all around the country. In a world where babies are killed behind sterile clinic doors, we often don’t think about what happens to them after their brutal deaths. You may recall that Abortion Free New Mexico sought to provide a proper burial for aborted babies in the possession of the University of New Mexico, that had been harvested for medical experiments. ​ According to the Associated Press- AP [UNM HSC Chancelor Paul Roth] “Roth told the Shaver…

Dear Friends, May we never forget the faithfulness, compassion and justice of our God. He is in fact doing amazing things even in the midst of the intense spiritual battle that is currently raging in this nation and across New Mexico. Good and evil, light and darkness has never been more clearer. May we always be thankful for what He is accomplishing and always be eager to further His kingdom purposes. This month we are feeling encouraged in spite of the fear and dread that so many others are experiencing. We know how the human story ends and so we rejoice and continue to serve the King knowing that He…
