Exposed: 33 Week Late Term Abortion In New Mexico
By Bud Shaver Albuquerque, NM- In January of 2015 a 20 year old woman from Great Britain sought a destination willing to perform an abortion for her at 30 weeks of pregnancy… so that she could continue going to college. Did she have to go to Vietnam, China, or North Korea? No, she traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico to have her baby killed. Why didn’t she have her late-term abortion in Great Britain? Because the international community has rightfully rejected barbaric late term abortions.

Protest ABQ Campaign Comes An End

In addition, we wanted to expose and hold accountable those who either condone abortion outright or silently consent to it by refusing to take a bold public stand for protecting human life in the womb. Our call was simple and concise… “Stand Up For The Babies And We Will Stand Down” (Picture cropped and “orange-screen” added by New Mexico Political Report) Read…
