Special Report By Cheryl Sullenger, Operation Rescue Albuquerque, NM – A New Mexico woman who unknowingly suffered injuries that led to a hysterectomy after a bungled abortion filed suit against an Albuquerque abortion business last month for medical malpractice.  But this is not just a run-of-the-mill abortion-related malpractice suit. This story takes surprising twists and turns into the dark world of aborted baby organ trafficking and a devastating personal family tragedy. According to court records obtained by Operation Rescue, Nicole Atkins was 24-years old when she visited Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO), on December 27, 2010, for a consultation regarding an abortion in her second trimester of pregnancy.  Continue reading and view all associated documentation.…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- Last week during our peaceful Faith to Action Friday presence I witnessed a 180 conversion of a man who was convicted by our presence and what he saw on a sign. I was approached by this man who felt that he needed to point out how hypocritical pro-life Christians are. What drew him out to talk to me though was the image of a 20 week old abortion victim (photo below). He immediately began to lecture me about how horrific the image was and insisted that I needed to remove it. Coming face to face with the reality that abortion kills children is hard for many to swallow, it…

Washington D.C.- On July 4, 2019 President Donald J. Trump issued one of his best speeches, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, beautifully detailing the American struggle for freedom, liberty, and justice for all over our 243 year history. The quote from George Washington that he shared during this speech, came at the time when the continental army was surrounded and facing insurmountable odds. They had recently declared their independence and the stakes could not have been greater. The British army was eager to crush the American resistance in its infancy. On August 27, 1776 General George Washington stated, “The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army.…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- July 4th is a day where America comes together to celebrate our freedom that so many have fought and sacrificed their all and paid the ultimate price to defend. In 1776 men and women defied tyranny and forged a new independent nation founded on Christian values and Biblical precepts.  Many of our Founding Fathers graduated from seminaries, and were considered church elders/church officers when they penned the Declaration of Independence. “Three pence per pound”  …that was the final straw that sparked the “Tea Party” (America’s first and most famous) protest and our independence as a nation! The American colonies were being taxed without representation and our (Christian leader) forefathers finally said enough!Fast forward to 2019: $17,000 tax…

By Bud Shaver Washington DC- Twelve years ago in 2007 our lives were forever changed! Tara and I were working in an apartment ministry in Flagstaff, Arizona when we went to Spirit West Coast with a group of college students. After watching our favorite Christian bands… Tara simply took information at a pro-life booth and the rest is history!  Driving back to Flagstaff, AZ from San Diego, California our hearts were penetrated with the reality of the Abortion Holocaust that has taken 1/3rd of our generation! We prayed a simple prayer, “Lord we commit our lives to your service to work to end this grave injustice until you call us home with you,…

A shameful article published on May 28, 2019 in the Albuquerque Journal attacking long time pro-life sidewalk counselor Phil Leahy, demonstrates perfectly what Jesus meant in John 15 when he said,  “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do…

By Bud Shaver Washington D.C.- One America News covered one of the two March 19th Red Rose Rescues in Washington  D.C. Their coverage was fair, clear and concise about the Red Rose Rescue movement and included Fr. Stephen Imbarrato’s direct message to president Donald J. Trump.

Dear Friends,  We laid it all on the line for the babies and against the seemingly insurmountable odds in New Mexico this legislative session. With the democratic party in total control of both chambers of the legislature and the power to sign any law into effect with newly elected governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, a radically pro-abortion democrat, we knew that if there was to be any hope of opposing their PRO-DEATH AGENDA, it was vital to activate the voice of the people of New Mexico and reach the hearts of the Catholic Democrats and urge them to vote their faith. In the end, God heard the prayers of many and…
