Dear Friends-

The month of April has been truly blessed as we continue to serve as pro-life missionaries in the late term abortion capital of the nation. While we are used to sending missionaries overseas, Bud and I remain acutely aware of how much Christ must be proclaimed in America. Our culture, our cities, our leaders all need to hear the good news of Jesus and what living for him looks like. This is why our family serves and daily strives to light up the darkness in New Mexico in a relevant way. Without life we have nothing, if a child isn’t born they don’t get to choose to live for Jesus on earth, they don’t get the chance to be loved, they are robbed of that which we can all take for granted. Thank you for standing with us for the precious gift of life that comes from the LORD!

Surprise! He’s a Boy!!!

Our family is blessed to announce that the Lord has added a new member to our family, Azariah Shaver! We anticipate his arrival to the outside world on or around October 11th 2018. Big sisters Tirzah (8yrs) and Moriah (3yrs) and big brother Eden (5yrs) are very EXCITED as are we!

The scriptures tell us that children are a reward from the Lord and that they are a gift. It is an amazing journey to experience the life of a child in your womb and to consider how intricately the Lord knits them together with such purpose.

As with all of our children, we pray that our second son grows up to surrender his life to Christ. Please join us in praising Yahweh for Azariah and for the blessings a new life brings into the world.

Great Turnout to #ProtestPP in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Albuquerque, NM- Albuquerque, New Mexico joined 149 locations across the Nation in 39 states to protest Planned Parenthood…the nation’s largest abortion provider.

In Albuquerque more than 75 people joined in solidarity through prayer and protest to stand for LIFE, and in opposition to their hard earned tax dollars being spent to subsidize a failing child killing industry that more and more Americans reject.

Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement,

“The effort to defund Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with taking healthcare away from poor women and families. It’s about taking tax dollars away from the nation’s largest abortion chain. Until Planned Parenthood stops killing children they shouldn’t receive one more cent of taxpayer funding. We will continue to use our voices and every peaceful legal means necessary to ensure that we are not willfully complicit with the government sanctioned killing business of Planned Parenthoods across this nation.”

Abortion Free New Mexico Co-Sponsors HUSH Documentary Screening with Students For Life UNM

(Pictured- Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, Tara Shaver, physician Maryrose Turner, and Emily President of Students for Life UNM)

On April 16, 2018 Abortion Free New Mexico and Students for Life UNM hosted a FREE screening of the HUSH – Feature Documentary and held a Q&A session afterwards at The University of New Mexico – UNM.  This event was not Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life… but PRO-INFORMATION!

THE HUSH DOCUMENTARY PROVIDES COMPELLING EVIDENCE OF THE FOLLOWING:  Preterm Birth & Breast Cancer Risk, Abortion & Premature Birth Studies, Abortion & Psychology Studies, Sex Selective Abortions and Female Infanticide, Late Term Abortion Significantly Increases Risk of Complications Versus Early Abortions

We extended an invitation to several pro-abortion student groups at UNM and even asked them to include a physician of their “Choice” for the Q&A session…but they only showed up to protest and steal ALL of our information off our table!

IRONICALLY the Director of HUSH, Punam Kumar Gill, is a Pro-Choice feminist who produced the HUSH film to begin a healthy conversation about how LEGITIMATE fact-based scientific research proving the harmful effects of abortion is being suppressed by the “Pro-Choice” community. She saw that the BIAS among her own base must be addressed if there will ever be a chance to truly #StartAHealthyConversation about abortion and women’s health.

Producers of  HUSHfilm.com, “In ‘Pro-Life’ circles, hearing about the negative effects of abortion is a common thing. Churches and Crisis Pregnancy Centres will tell you about the psychological trauma, potential for physical damage, and even breast cancer, that abortion may cause.  On the other hand, in ‘Pro-Choice’ circles, and at abortion clinics it is commonly told that the procedure is much safer than childbirth, that the psychological effects are the same as if you deliver the child, and the breast cancer connection is a closed case.  One way or another, someone is lying to women.” 

Tara Shaver issued the following statement,

“Abortion always ends the life of a child, but women have no idea how abortion will effect them in the years to come. The majority of ‘pro-choice’ proponents and abortion mills in this nation are not informing women of the true nature of abortion when it pertains to women’s health. This is why I applaud Punam Kumar Gill, the director, of HUSHfilm.com and the producers who had the courage and strength to go against the tide amongst her own ‘pro-choice’ community.

The information presented in HUSH is invaluable and relevant in today’s culture where abortion is used as birth control and is often the only choice that women with unplanned pregnancies are offered help for among the radicalized ‘pro-choice’ community.

I’ve witnessed this firsthand. A few months ago I took a teenage pregnant mother to her first OBGYN prenatal appointment at a University of New Mexico health clinic. That morning right before her appointment she had an argument in the waiting room with her teenage boyfriend and when we were taken back to visit with a doctor this mom was visibly upset. Pregnancy can be a difficult and emotional time for any woman, but how do you think the doctor responded to this situation?

Instead of providing positive reinforcement that this too shall pass, the University of New Mexico doctor immediately questioned if she wanted to keep the baby and assured her that she still had options and could terminate the pregnancy! If life throws the smallest curveball at a young mom who is pregnant the ‘pro-choice’ world tells her that having an abortion will somehow remedy her situation. However, all the abortion will do is rob her from indescribable joy and potentially leave her scarred both physically and emotionally in ways that are never explained to her beforehand.

When women are 20 and have an abortion they don’t think about how it will negatively effect their physical or mental health when they are 30, 40 or 50. All women need to unite together and stand for the truth about how abortion profoundly impacts those who obtain them. I proudly stand with those like Punam who are willing to use their voice for what is best for women despite any presuppositions.”

In the news this month: “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 ties to Operation Rescue, relocated to Albuquerque in 2010 upon invitation from Father Stephen Imbarrato, a Catholic Priest Associate with the group Priests for Life.” continue reading…

Dear Friends- This month, our prayer and fasting campaign extended from New Mexico into Texas, the epicenter of legalized child killing in America and of Curtis Boyd’s child killing empire! Sometimes it seems that evil continues to triumph especially in such a corrupt state like New Mexico. However, we witnessed two breakthroughs that we believe can be attributed to the concentrated prayers and fasting of many over the past 5 weeks. We received a call from a relative of Curtis Boyd who is praying and fasting for him and the removal of the generational curse that Curtis Boyd’s legacy of death has brought upon her family. We also received confirmation that Boyd is under investigation by the New Mexico Medical Board!

Thank you for standing with us for the babies and for seeking the Lord through prayer and fasting as we ask Him to break the strongholds that are keeping abortion in New Mexico. We know from Psalm 37 that there is no future for the wicked and we look forward to the day when there is no future for Curtis Boyd nor any abortionist in our state to kill babies who are created in the image of God.

Survivors: Dallas Mini Camp 2018

(Tara Shaver in Dallas with the Survivors: Dallas Mini Camp 2018)

This month, Tara was in Dallas, Texas with Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, helping to train the next generation to take ownership and lead the charge to end abortion in America- in the very city that this injustice began. The Dallas federal court case known as Roe v. Wade brought us abortion on demand. Dallas is also home to Curtis Boyd’s other abortion mill that he opened and operated illegally PRIOR to the 1973 Supreme court ruling! This camp could not have been more timely, as pressure mounts against Curtis Boyd not only in New Mexico but also in Dallas, Texas, as the Survivors took to the streets of Dallas after receiving top notch pro-life training. It was a blessing for Tara to speak at this training camp and be a part of what the Lord is doing to end abortion throughout this nation.

“Wait patiently for the LORD! Wait confidently for him! Do not fret over the apparent success of a sinner, a man who carries out wicked schemes! …Evil men will soon disappear; you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone.” Psalm 37:7;10

BREAKING: Curtis Boyd Under Investigation by New Mexico Medical Board

We received confirmation from the New Mexico Medical Board (NMMB) this month that they have launched an investigation into the death of a local Albuquerque woman who died on February 4, 2017 as a result of complications suffered during a late term abortion performed by Curtis Boyd.

Curtis Boyd owns Southwestern Women’s Options, the largest late term abortion center in the country, which is located in Albuquerque, NM. An undercover investigation done by Abortion Free New Mexico exposed that at Southwestern Women’s Options a woman can obtain an abortion up to 37 weeks of pregnancy for $17,000. Curtis Boyd has readily admitted on national television that he knows that he is killing babies.

The letter from the New Mexico Medical Board dated March 2, 2018 addressed to Tara Shaver states in part,

“[The] New Mexico Medical Board received your complaint against Curtis Boyd, M.D. on 12/18/2017, and was forwarded to the Executive Committee for their review and determination on whether or not a formal investigation is warranted. The Board’s Executive Committee have reviewed the complaint and have determined that the allegations contained in it warrant further formal review to determine whether the licensee is in violation of the Medical Practice Act.”

• Read the letter we received from the New Mexico Medical Board: New Mexico Medical Board Letter Confirms Curtis Boyd Under Investigation
• Albuquerque Journal: Medical board agrees to review provider of late-term abortions

Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue issued the following statement,

“We commend Tara Shaver and Abortion Free New Mexico for their diligent work in documenting this abortion patient death and the suspicious circumstances that surrounds it. The fact that the very liberal NMMB is pursuing an investigation into Boyd’s possible violations of the Medical Practice Act validates Shaver’s concerns and ours about his negligent conduct,” said Newman. “Keisha Atkins deserves justice and her family deserves closure. We are cautiously hopeful that this new investigation will accomplish both.”

• Read Operation Rescue’s full report: Curtis Boyd Under Investigation by NM Medical Board in Abortion Patient’s Death

Congressman Steve Pearce who is running unopposed on the Republican ticket for Governor of New Mexico in 2018 issued the following statement,

“New Mexico Medical Board has officially launched an investigation into Curtis Boyd, owner of Southwestern Women’s Options, following the death of an Albuquerque woman who suffered from complications during a late term abortion. This investigation into Boyd, who performed the abortion, is rightfully happening after much delay. I have been in the fight to uphold the law and protect freedoms and liberties of women in New Mexico and across the nation. No one is above the law, and it is time we hold those accountable for their wrongful actions.”

“Seek the well being of the city to which I have sent you. Pray for it to the Lord. For in seeking its well being you shall find your own.“ Jeremiah 29:7

Albuquerque, NM- As we conclude this united prayer and fasting campaign to end abortion in New Mexico, trusting the words of Jesus (Matthew 17:14-21) that some deeply entrenched demonic strongholds can only be cast out, “except by prayer and fasting.” Over the past 7 weeks we have seen droughts broken, the desire to break generational curses from a member of Curtis Boyd’s family, confirmation of an investigation by the New Mexico Medical Board into the abortion related death of a local woman at the hands of late term abortionist Curtis Boyd, this effort has crossed the border from New Mexico into Texas the birthplace of abortion and the birthplace of Boyd’s baby killing empire. We believe strongholds are being broken by the Lord as we have prayed and fasted together in this united effort!

One thing that is sorely lacking in New Mexico as we move forward is the need for bold pro-life leadership in state government. This week we stood in solidarity with Congressman Steve Pearce as the pro-life candidate for Governor which represents a positive shift that even local media recognizes as significant. As we wrap up this initial prayer and fasting effort we want to make sure that what has been cast out as a result of these efforts is not replaced with that which is more evil as is described in Matthew 12. We must replace the evil with good righteous leaders and continue to keep pro-life efforts united with the goal of ending all abortions in New Mexico ensuring that every pre-born child is valued and protected.

Please join with us in this last week of prayer and fasting asking the Lord to appoint pro-life leaders to fill the void in state leadership as we approach the upcoming election later this year.

This week’s final scripture reading is from, Matthew 12:43-45

“This evil nation is like a man possessed by a demon. For if the demon leaves, it goes into the deserts for a while, seeking rest but finding none. Then it says, ‘I will return to the man I came from.’ So it returns and finds the man’s heart clean but empty! Then the demon finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and all enter the man and live in him. And so he is worse off than before.”

Prayer Points:

• An end to all abortion in New Mexico.
• For strongholds that are keeping abortion in New Mexico to be broken.
• For the closure of the last 5 abortion facilities in the state.
• For the women considering an abortion.
• For the conversion of all abortion facility workers.
• For the women who’ve participated in a previous abortion and need healing.
• For the New Mexico Medical Board’s investigation into Curtis Boyd’s involvement in the late term abortion death of an Albuquerque woman last year.
• For the New Mexico Nursing Board investigation into illegal abortions performed by Planned Parenthood abortionist Vivianne Clark.
• For the upcoming 2018 New Mexico election.

Note: Fasting can be done in many ways.

• Some may choose to fast from sunrise to sunset.
• Others may choose to fast from 6:00am-3:00pm as a partial fast.
• For others, a fast might be one full meal for the day, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.

Abortion Free New Mexico has been asked to join in weekly prayer and fasting on Wednesday for an end to abortion in New Mexico until March 28th. We invite those in the body of Christ who are able to join us in this spiritual discipline to break the stronghold and spirit of death that surrounds us.

This is a united effort between both Non-Catholic and Catholic Christians who are committed to ending abortion in New Mexico. For more information during the season of Lent Catholics are encouraged to visit this website.

Albuquerque, NM- Sometimes it seems that evil continues to triumph especially in such a corrupt state like New Mexico. However, God is moving across our borders, Tara was encouraged this past week, while in Texas, by the next generation of young people who are passionately and boldly rising up to end abortion and ensure that every pre-born child is valued and protected.

Last week our prayer and fasting campaign extended from New Mexico into Texas, the epicenter of legalized child killing in America and of Curtis Boyd’s child killing empire!  Tara was in Dallas, Texas with Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, helping to train the next generation to take ownership and lead the charge to end abortion in America- in the very city that this injustice began.

This week’s scripture reading is from, Psalm 37:7

Albuquerque, NM- Prayer and fasting is powerful, through this spiritual struggle, we are confident that the Lord is breaking the strongholds that are keeping abortion in New Mexico. We may not know exactly how He will respond according to His will through our prayers, but we can be sure that He wants babies lives to be spared even more than we do.

This week, we were encouraged when we received a phone call, out of the blue, by a relative of Curtis Boyd! Not a coincidence at all to receive this call during the third week of prayer and fasting to specifically end abortion in our state where Curtis Boyd has capitalized on the lack of any common sense abortion regulations and has single handedly transformed New Mexico into the Late-Term Abortion Capital of America. This relative called us with an apologetic heart for what Curtis Boyd has brought to our state and had been led by the Lord, while she has also been praying and fasting, to reach out to us! God is so good, His timing and plans are perfect. This week we’d ask that you pray for this relative as she joins us in our united effort of prayer and fasting as she seeks the Lord to break the generational curse that Curtis Boyd’s legacy of death has brought upon her family.

Join us as we continue to seek the Lord through prayer and fasting asking Him to break the strongholds that are keeping abortion in New Mexico. We are stronger together in this battle for life!

This week’s scripture reading is from, 2 Corinthians 10:3-4

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

Over the next three weeks please join us as we continue to faithfully pray and fast to fight this battle spiritually to end all abortions in New Mexico, we are trusting and believing that the Lord is already using this united effort to accomplish His will for our state.

Each Wednesday we will send you a passage of scripture to pray and meditate on.

Prayer Points:

• An end to all abortion in New Mexico.
• For strongholds that are keeping abortion in New Mexico to be broken.
• For the closure of the last 5 abortion facilities in the state.
• For the women considering an abortion.
• For the conversion of all abortion facility workers.
• For the women who’ve participated in a previous abortion and need healing.
• For the upcoming 2018 New Mexico election.
• NEW PRAYER POINT: For almost a year now Planned Parenthood has been severely limited in their ability to provide abortions due, in part, to a nursing board complaint filed by Tara Shaver back in 2016. The New Mexico Nursing Board ruling is supposed to be issued this Spring.

Note: Fasting can be done in many ways.

• Some may choose to fast from sunrise to sunset.
• Others may choose to fast from 6:00am-3:00pm as a partial fast.
• For others, a fast might be one full meal for the day, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.

Abortion Free New Mexico has been asked to join in weekly prayer and fasting for an end to abortion in New Mexico over the next three Wednesdays until March 28th.

This month in New Mexico we have been so encouraged as we joined with fellow pro-lifers to pray and fast on Wednesdays for an end to abortion in our state. We hope that you will join us through March 28th in this spiritual discipline. See below for details on how you can be involved.

We were also blown away by how God has used our efforts over the years to bring the Republican Party of New Mexico to a point where they are willing to boldly stand for life. The Lord is doing amazing things and we are simply following His lead. Thank you for investing in the work He has called to as full time pro-life missionaries here in New Mexico.

New Mexico Election Rundown 2018: We Can’t Lose Any More Ground This November

As we work to make New Mexico an abortion free state where every pre-born child is valued and protected, we are acutely aware of the implications of the upcoming November election. New Mexico continues in a dismal direction as we rank lowest in the areas that are most important. New Mexico is second to last in child well being, the worst state in the nation to raise a family and was found to be the worst run state in the nation.

It’s important that we don’t lose any more ground, the progressive liberals in New Mexico want nothing more than total control of our state and that will dig us into an even deeper hole.  Abortion Free New Mexico worked hard to get Michelle Garcia Holmes on the ballot for Lt. Governor and she is joined at the top by Steve Pearce who is running for Governor. Thank you to everyone who signed petitions and gathered signatures for her. Michelle and Steve Pearce are running unopposed on the Republican ticket to lead this state with the conviction of their principles.

As a family, this month we attended the opening of the Republican statewide candidate headquarters. We were so blessed to meet many of the candidates running for office who want to stop playing politics and turn things around for New Mexico. Tara also shared a table with Michelle Garcia Holmes at the Republican Primary Convention. The takeaway from this event is that the New Mexico Republican Party is not what it used to be when we made New Mexico our mission field 7 years ago. The party has unified collectively to become a group of people that are vocally pro-life, pro-family, pro-faith and are committed to working for the people of our state. In our 7 years of ministry in New Mexico we have never attended a Republican event because we were too busy holding RINO/PLINO’s (Republican/Pro Life – In Name Only) accountable for their complacency and inaction. We welcome this positive change that is clearly fruit of our labor over the years that has truly paid off!

Our sense is that the tide is shifting in New Mexico and if we unite together to help get like minded people of conviction elected that our state will move in a positive direction. New Mexico will no longer be known as a place of corruption, late term abortion and violence. Your voice and your vote matter. New Mexico needs positive change with leaders who fear the Lord and will work to restore justice for the babies. Stay tuned for ways you can get involved to elect leaders who share our faith and values here in New Mexico.
