By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- As the dust clears after a hard fought political battle in New Mexico, we must pick ourselves up and continue to move forward. We are thankful to Congressman Steve Pearce, Michelle Garcia Holmes and all of the republican candidates, for laying it all on the line and remaining faithful to their vision for New Mexico! Unfortunately, the radically progressive democrats have gained control of the Governor’s Office and both legislative chambers in New Mexico giving them free reign to push whatever agenda they wish. They have already stated their desire to remove the ONLY pro-life statute on the books in New Mexico: The Criminal Abortion Statute [NMSA 1978 §30-5-3(C)] was passed by the…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- Today is election day and the outcome when polls close tonight at 7:00PM depends on how many people of faith and conscience get to the polls to vote.

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- This week as we come together to pray and fast on behalf of New Mexico, for a complete and total end to abortion and for the upcoming election, let us be mindful of the new thing that God wants to do here. This week’s prayer focus comes from Isaiah 43:19, and is prophetic when we consider the crossroads that New Mexico is facing. The Lord can make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert and we believe that He has given us the chance to see it coming. The question becomes will His people rise to the occasion? Standing together sacrificially this week, may the…

Come meet and support the next attorney general of New Mexico this Tuesday.

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- At this very moment New Mexico is in a battle unlike ever before. The lives of pre-born babies hang in the balance as the November 6th election approaches and voters, people like you and me, will elect the next Governor and fill other Congressional and state seats. Liberal pro-abortionists are organized and they are motivated because their ability to willfully kill pre-born children for any reason up to the day of birth is on the edge of being revoked. We know, as Christians, that God is stronger and more mighty than the demonic forces that have New Mexico bound in chains. It is, however, our…

By Bud Shaver ​Albuquerque, NM- The upcoming New Mexico election is less than 50 days away and will absolutely determine whether or not the Land of Enchantment elects leaders who will stand for justice and righteousness or corruption and bedlam.

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- Earlier this month Abortion Free New Mexico made a formal request to the University of New Mexico (UNM) Chancellor for Health Sciences, Paul Roth asking him to transfer 72 aborted baby remains harvested for their recently terminated experimental research program, to a local mortuary, so that they may receive a proper burial. In a letter dated August 31, 2018 addressed to Tara Shaver, Roth denied the request for their burial and has refused to treat these babies with the dignity and respect they deserve. READ PAUL ROTH’S REFUSAL LETTER HERE For years, the University of New Mexico has been acquiring harvested aborted babies solely from the notorious late term abortion…

Albuquerque, NM- Join us for an important pro-life prayer service taking place in Albuquerque on Saturday, September 8th. On that day, pro-life Americans will honor the memory of the more than 50 million unborn victims of abortion during the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children. Solemn prayer services will be held simultaneously at gravesites around the country where abortion victims have been buried, as well as at many other memorial sites dedicated in their honor.

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- Abortion Free New Mexico has made a request to Paul Roth, Chancellor of Health Sciences, at the University of New Mexico (UNM) for the 72 aborted baby remains that are mentioned in the Albuquerque Journal’s article last week announcing that UNM has halted their fetal tissue research program. According to a memo from Roth, these baby remains are in storage and he has not yet decided whether or not he will destroy them. Abortion Free New Mexico believes that these human remains are worthy of a proper burial. The aborted baby remains are from the notorious late term abortion facility, Southwestern Women’s Options, which has been the sole provider…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- For years, members of Abortion Free New Mexico have worked with Operation Rescue to expose that the University of New Mexico (UNM) is at the heart of the New Mexico abortion cartel. Through investigative research Abortion Free New Mexico has exposed that UNM is actively training up the next generation of abortionists and running their own free standing abortion facility. After a formal complaint filed by Tara Shaver, in 2015, with the New Mexico Attorney General’s office based on consent forms (1),(2) she obtained from Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO), in addition to pressure and awareness from Abortion Free New Mexico, other local pro-life groups, and a U.S. Congressional inquiry, the nefarious nature of the collaboration between UNM and SWO has finally come to light. NOVEMBER 21,…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- In 2015 when the liberal “progressive” Pat Davis ran for City Council in Albuquerque, we believed that voters in his district needed to know what he stood for and what a vote for him meant. Not only were we residents of District 6 at the time, but two of the three abortion facilities in Albuquerque are located in this district, the Planned Parenthood surgical facility and the University of New Mexico’s Center for Reproductive Health. However, when you utilize your constitutional first amendment rights in Albuquerque it apparently comes with a stiff $1,000 price tag. (Back of 2015 Mailer to District 6: Mugshot of Davis’ 2013 DWI) In spite of a lack of evidence…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- The November 6, 2018 New Mexico election will determine which way our state proceeds, whether it is a blessing for life or not.

It’s going to take all hands on deck to let our neighbors know where the candidates stand on the things that matter most to us, so please join us this weekend. This Saturday you have the opportunity to go door to door with others who share your values to help get out the vote for pro-life candidates starting at 8:30am with a quick training, donuts and…

By Bud Shaver UPDATE: Michelle Garcia Holmes who is running for Lieutenant Governor of New Mexico issued the following statement after learning that Fr. Stephen Imbarrato is currently in JAIL for his peaceful Red Rose Rescue efforts: Prayers for Father Stephen Imbarrato, he stood strong for the unborn, as we all should. You might remember him from when he and several Priests endorsed my campaign for mayor last year. He must serve 7 days. Please pray for his safety and that his story and strength be a lesson to us all to stand up for life and the babies who will never get life. You are brave and courageous Father…

By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- A political showdown is brewing in New Mexico between anti-Trump, anti-America, anti-family, anti-life candidates known as “Progressive”  New Mexico Democrats vs. Pro-Trump, Pro-America, Pro-Family, Pro-Life candidates that are being labeled “Hard Right” New Mexico Republicans. The line that has been drawn in the sand as the dust clears after the New Mexico primary election could not be more clear and the URGENCY more stark!
