JAM PACKED Month of Research, Outreach, and Protest! Albuquerque, NM — Since 2008, New Mexico’s abortion rate has been on a steady decline. This is great news in a state where abortions are performed through all nine months of pregnancy without restriction. However, that news is tempered by the fact that abortions funded by tax dollars are on the rise. Read this report by Tara Shaver from this month here: Tax Funded Abortions on the Rise In New Mexico While Overall Abortions on the Decline This month has been JAM PACKED with research projects, outreach, and PROTEST!

Public Protest and Outcry Works…A BIG Thank YOU To All Of YOU! We thank UNM for their public apology and acknowledgement that “Sex Week” is in fact truly offensive. UNM statement regarding ‘Sex Week’ “The Women’s Resource Center and the Graduate and Professional Students Association were well intended in creating the workshops billed as “Sex Week.” However, the initiative did not have clear oversight or close enough supervision to prevent the inclusion of topics that are sensational and controversial. For that UNM apologizes. While the university administration believes that it is important to offer opportunities for sex education to college students, it should be done in a careful and respectful…

In 2009-2010 while working as interns with Operation Rescue, Bud and I worked on various projects. One of those was to compile an accurate updated list of free standing abortion clinics in the US, you can access this data at abortiondocs.com. This project revealed that over 70% of abortion clinics have closed since 1991.  While compiling this data, Tara called a Planned Parenthood in Iowa and discovered “telemed abortions.” Telemed abortion is a process where dangerous abortion pills are dispensed via teleconferencing hook-up. An abortionist sits in front of a webcam and pushes a button to electronically open a drawer in the faraway clinic containing the drugs. A licensed physician…

Tara and I met at a Bible College in Texas where God gave us a heart for the mission field. Tara spent a year in Nottingham, England and I (Bud) was ordained and graduated in 2003 with a degree in Missions. I spent an additional 6 months in an Advanced Missions program where my concentration was on “domestic” missions. Tara and I married shortly after Tara returned from England and since then we have worked in full-time pastoral ministry, traveled the country for a year with Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust visiting over 180 high schools and colleges across the country educating our peers about the injustice of abortion, and…

This month was the month of PROTEST as we officially launched PROTEST ABQ. Peaceful and lawful PROTEST has its place in the pro-life movement and this month confirmed that fact in a big way! In fact, our consistent and strategic PROTEST literally moved the UNM abortion clinic UNM Center For Reproductive Health! We are hoping that with enough public exposure of UNM’s pro-abortion agenda and accountability demanded of all of the individuals who are perpetuating this agenda at UNM, we can STOP THE KILLING!

Albuquerque, NM- At 10:15 a.m. on Thursday, March 27th an ambulance arrived at late term abortion mill Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) and spent 20 minutes inside the clinic before bringing a woman out on a gurney completely covered by a sheet. The woman was rushed to the hospital and her condition is unknown.   On February 13, 2014 another woman was rushed to the hospital from SWO. This is the 16th botched abortion that we’ve documented since 2008 at SWO and the 2nd in two months. Women will continue to be injured at this clinic until it is closed in the interest of the public safety. “We are also very…

This month we have GREAT news to announce…and not so great news! First the not so great news… Over the past few months we have been under direct attack from the violent pro-aborts, in fact we recently found out that the sign shop that made all of our campaign (ABQ Voters For Late-Term Abortion Ban) signs for the November 19th election had a bomb EXPLODE while they were at the shop making our campaign signs! Local news station KRQE- 13 reported that it is possible the shop was targeted because it was believed to be our campaign headquarters! Watch the report from KRQE 13 titled: “FBI investigating Albuquerque pipe bomb…

After prayer and reflection, moving our pro-life momentum forward in Albuquerque, we believe that UNM free-standing abortion clinic UNMCRH is the weak link of the abortion cartel in ABQ (due to the fact that since UNM is a public institution and publicly funded, they are highly sensitive to public exposure concerning their radical abortion agenda). Kicking off the new year in 2014 Bud has committed to being out at UNMCRH everyday that they are doing abortions (Mon-Fri). This means that all 3 abortion clinics in our city are consistently covered each week! Here is a testimony from ministry this month at UNMCRH: “Our life is best described as a life…

We have been so blessed and humbled to be a part of what God has accomplished in 2013. The citizens of ABQ have risen up in big ways and have brought so much awareness about late term abortions out into the open. This city is well on it’s way to seeing an end to all abortions as we move forward sounding the alarm. We appreciate everyone who has stood by us this last year, lifting us up and encouraging us to keep going. A special thank you as well to those at Project Defending Life for continuing to be the most active and comprehensive pro-life ministry in the state and…

“Exposed the fact that abortions are being done through all NINE months of pregnancy in ABQ, the reality that women who get abortions are putting their lives at risk…and oh yeah, put an abortionist under scrutiny by the New Mexico Medical Board for a botched 35 week abortion!” 2013 kicked off with the culmination of several years of hard work,  investigations, and countless hours of research which produced a New Mexico Medical Board investigation into late-term abortionist Shelley Sella. In 2012, complaints were filed with the NM Medical Board (NMMB) regarding 11 abortion injuries at Southwestern Women’s Options, Albuquerque’s late term abortion clinic. The Board’s initial response was to resist…
