YOUR VOTE MATTERS!
By Bud Shaver, Albuquerque, New Mexico- Voting is a powerful way to make your voice heard and influence the future of our state. Single party domination does not work well and the many ‘worst in the nation’ rankings prove it. Defend Traditional Values: Self-proclaimed “progressives” in New Mexico have passed laws (and want more) that put parental rights, pre-born babies rights, and the values of hard work and personal responsibility under attack. Your vote can help elect leaders who are committed to preserving the principles that strengthen New Mexico’s communities. Your vote matters – some elections in New Mexico are won/lost by a single vote! Make sure you take time to make your voice heard at the ballot box…

By Bud Shaver,Albuquerque, New Mexico- On August 5, 2024, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that her administration launched a $400,000 ad campaign throughout Texas to recruit more abortionists to New Mexico.

The detailed report captioned, “The Devil’s in the… Health Clinic?” highlights The Satanic Temple, their abortion expansion into New Mexico and their legal fight (which a judge has since struck down) claiming that abortions are a necessary component of their religious ritual. The Satanic Temple is actively capitalizing on New Mexico’s lack of abortion restrictions by promoting and providing the abortion pill by mail. However, the article sheds light on their real agenda which is to…

Abortion Pill Ruling Could Shutter Five New Mexico Abortion Facilities
By Bud Shaver, Albuquerque, New Mexico- On (Good Friday) April 7, 2023, a Texas U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled to suspend approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the abortion drug mifepristone.

“NM abortions on the rise”
By Bud Shaver, Albuquerque, New Mexico- On March 26, the Albuquerque Journal reached out to us and spoke with Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico to get our perspective about how the overturning of Roe vs. Wade has impacted pro-life efforts in New Mexico. For years now, New Mexico has been an abortion magnet because of the horrific and barbaric 3rd trimester abortions that have recently halted. However, Abortion Free New Mexico along with other pro-life groups saw the number of abortions steadily decline year after year. It’s no surprise that with Roe overturned and New Mexico’s extreme Democrat legislature, that abortion facilities are on the rise and out of state women traveling to obtain…

Close UNMCRH Petition, Abortion Is Not Healthcare!
Attention UNM Regents and UNM Leaders, “I am asking for the immediate closure of the UNM Center for Reproductive Health late-term abortion facility. Abortion Free New Mexico has already documented EIGHT abortion related injuries at the UNM Center for Reproductive Health (UNMCRH) abortion facility, since 2022! In fact, on April 10,2024 Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers documented TWO separate women transported to the ER on the same day! As these abortion complications pile up it’s clear that abortion is not healthcare. Women who enter abortion facilities are healthy and whole, carrying another human life in their womb. Far too often they leave broken physically, emotionally and spiritually because abortion kills their child, violently…

BREAKING: New Mexico No Longer Late-Term Abortion Capital
By Bud Shaver, Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico has confirmed that the notorious Southwestern Women’s Options abortion facility is no longer performing third trimester abortions. Citing staff shortages and overwhelming clientele from out of state, they are now referring to other abortion facilities in Colorado, Maryland and Washington D.C. Southwestern Women’s Options is the abortion facility where the late Carmen Landau specialized in providing third trimester abortions. Her sudden death is presumably in part the reason for this abrupt change. Southwestern Women’s Options is, however, still offering abortion pills in clinic, and by mail, as well as first and second trimester abortions through 23.6 weeks of pregnancy. This means that Albuquerque currently has two abortion facilities that offer abortions up to…

BREAKING: Babies Aborted In New Mexico Transported To Texas For Disposal
By Bud ShaverAlbuquerque, New Mexico– Abortion Free New Mexico’s latest investigation has uncovered that Oncore Health Solutions (a conglomerate of Oncore Technology LLC and BioCycle Inc.) is transporting babies that are aborted in New Mexico across state lines to be disposed of as biohazard waste in the state of Texas. These disposal facilities are located in Amarillo and Grand Prairie, TX. Due to the recent SCOTUS decision, Texas law now bans babies from being aborted. However, no law currently exists preventing aborted babies from the neighboring state of New Mexico from being transported to Texas and disposed of as, “biohazard waste”. “The fact that babies can’t be killed in Texas but aborted babies from New Mexico can be disposed of as biohazard waste in Texas by companies like…

Abortion Stigma Helps Keep Los Alamos, New Mexico Abortion Free
By Bud ShaverAlbuquerque, New Mexico– In October of 2020, Brenda Pereda, a controversial University of New Mexico trained abortionist opened a Women’s Clinic at the Los Alamos Medical Center (LAMC). In interviews she was not shy about her agenda to provide abortions for “whatever the reason” and to expand a pro-abortion agenda “into the DNA of the hospital.” However, by March of 2022 she had resigned from her position and it’s clear that her agenda wasn’t welcomed by fellow physicians at the Medical Center. It is impossible to escape the stigma that follows abortionists who have betrayed true medicine by killing innocent helpless babies in their mothers wombs,” stated Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico.

BREAKING: Updated New Mexico Abortion Clinic Landscape 2022
By Bud ShaverAlbuquerque, New Mexico– While many states have benefited from Roe vs. Wade being overruled, unfortunately in New Mexico, abortion is expanding and there is already a visible increase in abortion tourism. The Los Angeles Times put it this way, New Mexico, one of six states that allow late-term abortions, has for years been overwhelmed by travelers from swaths of the country where the procedure is forbidden. But the Supreme Court’s ruling Friday on a Mississippi law to ban most abortions after 15 weeks, reversing the landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling, has New Mexico’s abortion providers bracing for a new influx of patients from conservative states.” Over the past 12 years Abortion…

Shavers Attorney Demands Retraction from the Democrat Party of New Mexico
By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, New Mexico- On Friday, September 16, 2022 the Democratic Party of New Mexico published a press release full of egregious accusations that have prompted our attorney to demand an immediate retraction. The Democrat Party of New Mexico (DPNM) is triggered that we hosted a fundraiser for U.S. congressional candidate Michelle Garcia Holmes and are attempting to disparage our reputation and are possibly even trying to incite violence against us by their rhetoric. The DPNM is accusing us of being extremists with, “ties to alleged domestic terrorism” when in fact, we came to New Mexico to expose late term abortions for the barbaric procedures that they are and also to lead women compassionately to tangible alternatives to abortion. Never in our pro-life missionary journey…
