New Mexico Senators Play Politics With Pre-Born Babies Lives
By Bud Shaver The Democratically controlled Senate Public Affairs Committee proved to be more biased than “democratic” by voting on party lines to kill ALL THREE pro-life bills introduced this legislative session. The first pro-life bill killed was SB 437 Physician Admitting Privileges for Abortions. This bill would have prevented abortion providers in New Mexico from ditching their patients on local Emergency Rooms where other physicians are left in the dark about the woman’s condition after an abortion related injury. (*UPDATE: The NM Senate killed a FOURTH Pro-Life Bill, WOMAN’S INFORMED DECISION ACT SB 652!) During the charade chaired by Sen. Pino, he cut off the testimony of expert witness Tara Shaver,…

NM BILL Would FORCE People of Conscience To Take Vaccines With Aborted Fetal Cells
By Tara Shaver Albuquerque, NM- With all of the “anti-vaccine” fear propaganda buzzing incessantly, a New Mexico Representative is attempting to legislate medical tyranny by introducing a forced vaccination mandate bill. Debbie Armstrong (D) from Albuquerque is the sponsor of HB 522, “REMOVE RELIGION IMMUNIZATION EXEMPTION“ which removes the religious exemption from those who choose not vaccinate their children. (By the way, here is a great article to provide perspective on the current measles discussion.) We know that the topic of vaccination can be a bit dodgy, especially for those who have children. However, what most people are completely unaware of is that some vaccines actually contain aborted human fetal…
