Albuquerque, New Mexico- Earlier this year, Abortion Free New Mexico strategically placed three billboards—two digital and one static—along major roadways in Texas to combat abortion tourism. The featured website, PregnancyHelpToday.com, has now received more than 800 visits, meaning that hundreds of women traveling to New Mexico for abortions have potentially been connected with life-affirming resources they may not have otherwise known about.
Together, the billboards generate an estimated 550,000 impressions per week based on their locations.
PregnancyHelpToday.com was created to provide life-saving resources, information, and financial assistance to pregnant women nationwide. The financial support is made possible through Abortion Free New Mexico’s Life Fund initiative.
- The Life Fund meets the emergent financial needs of pregnant women in crisis. When a pregnant woman needs help paying rent, utility bills, childcare and other miscellaneous needs that often make women feel like an abortion is the only answer, the Life Fund is there to support her.
According to Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for this campaign,
“The primary message of our billboard campaign is to encourage Texas women to turn around and not come to New Mexico to end the lives of their preborn children. We also want women to understand that their state’s pro-life laws are designed to protect both them and their babies from the tragedy of abortion. We are overjoyed that so many women have visited pregnancyhelptoday.com, and our prayer is that each one receives the help she needs to choose life for her baby.”
Abortion Free New Mexico has helped 26 pregnant mothers over the past 22 months choose life for their babies at Albuquerque abortion centers. Their dedicated team of more than 40 volunteers ministers six days a week at five Albuquerque abortion facilities, offering mothers the hope of Jesus Christ and the promise of real, tangible support throughout their pregnancies and beyond.
