    NEW LOCATION: Faith to Action Friday April 5th

    By Bud Shaver,

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- ​Abortion Free New Mexico is resuming our monthly Faith to Action Friday prayer gathering starting on April 5, 2024. Every first Friday of the month we will gather (10:00-11:00AM) at Whole Woman’s Health abortion center (718 Lomas Blvd Albuquerque, NM 87102) to pray collectively and to offer invaluable resources as well as the gospel of Jesus Christ to women seeking abortions there.

    Whole Woman’s Health is the most recent abortion center to relocate to New Mexico (from Texas) due to our lack of abortion laws. Their abortion center is located in downtown Albuquerque right around the corner from city hall, and just 1 mile from Southwestern Women’s Options Abortion Center. Whole Woman’s Health previously had 4 abortion center locations in Texas and after Roe vs. Wade was overturned they started raising funds to move their operation to New Mexico. 

    In addition to providing surgical, medical and telemedicine abortions, they also operate the Wayfinder Program which covers the cost of women’s abortions, travel and lodging who come from out of state to their abortion center. Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers have encountered women who have received this type of funding who then feel like they are not able to change their mind. This is a very concerning form of coercion that the abortion industry is currently implementing to make women believe they don’t really have a choice but to go through with their abortion.

    It is so important for the pro-life community to counter this latest form of coercion and let women know that they actually can choose life.

    Watch this KRQE coverage that outlines why they chose New Mexico and how they have commercials encouraging Texas women to come here for abortions.

    “Abortion Free New Mexico is poised to begin a concentrated prayer and outreach effort at the Whole Woman’s Health abortion center located in Albuquerque where babies are murdered up to 20 weeks of pregnancy. We invite the pro-life community and Christians across the state to join us to ensure that every woman seeking an abortion knows that there is help available and that their baby is created in the image of God. 

    We as believers in Jesus Christ must put our faith into action, in the public square, every chance we can to thwart the evil of unrestricted abortion tourism into our state,” stated Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico.

  • UNM Committed To Expand Abortion Services In New Mexico with Assistance from the Federal Government

    UNM Committed To Expand Abortion Services In New Mexico with Assistance from the Federal Government

    By Bud Shaver

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- On Thursday May 26, 2022 transgender Assistant U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary “Rachel” Levine toured the UNM Center for Reproductive Health free-standing abortion facility and pledged that the Biden Administration was committed to expanding abortion services in New Mexico in light of the leaked Supreme Court memo revealing the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade.

    This visit came just nine days after Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico appeared on the Infowars War Room with Owen Shroyer detailing how New Mexico is currently the late term abortion capital of our nation and is poised to be, “ground zero for abortion period” once Roe v. Wade is overturned.

    Levine, the Biden Administration representative, spoke to KOB 4 news and revealed the federal government’s radical abortion expansion agenda:

    “It is absolutely critical for New Mexico to continue to allow the full range of reproductive health services that women need, including abortion services,” Levine said. 

    ​UNM officials told KOB 4 they’re committed to taking on extra patients. 

    “If the decision follows the outline of the draft, then it’s going to severely impact women’s reproductive health rights and the ability to receive the full range of services in many states,” Levine said. “To be able to provide those services for women in New Mexico, and for many other states, they need to look to expand those services. We’ll work to support them.”

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

    “While many Americans oppose the use of federal funds to pay for abortions, and this is prohibited by the Hyde Amendment, it is egregious that the Biden administration has plans to work with the University of New Mexico to prop up the collapsing abortion industry and to utilize federal assistance to fund abortion tourism. These actions will only serve to further the culture of death in our state and the devaluing of human life in the womb.

    Just as the federal government is desperately working to enable the University of New Mexico to expand abortion in our state, Abortion Free New Mexico is equally committed to meet the real needs of women in our community. Every day volunteers prayerfully position themselves outside the University of New Mexico abortion center and are prepared to let women know that there is hope and an abundance of pregnancy resources available to them.”

    Abortion Free New Mexico is on the Front Lines 

    The pro-life community has an amazing opportunity to grow together as a powerful life saving force. Abortion Free New Mexico’s daily prayer campaign, No Sidewalk Without the Savior, is a practical way to bring the body of Christ onto the sidewalks in front of the UNM Center for Reproductive Health abortion facility.

    Here are a few glimpses of how Abortion Free New Mexico’s prayerful presence is making a difference:

    • From a Tuesday Volunteer: “A gentleman pulled up to the stop sign and called out to us telling us that he was not going to abort his baby, that he was going to keep his baby. He then did the sign of the cross and seemed so full of joy.“
    • From a Thursday Volunteer: “We spoke with a gentleman about the Roe vs. Wade decision that so many are thinking and talking about right now. He seemed like maybe he was from another country but was very open to learn about the implications of this ruling. I know we gave him food for thought.“
    • Dinah Vargas and Tara Shaver encountered a woman who was leaving the nearby motel. In a divine appointment she disclosed that she is pregnant, living in hotels and in desperate need of housing. We were able to give her resources and are keeping in touch with her to make sure she gets all of the help and support she needs. Please pray for the moms with housing needs as it can be a very long drawn out process for them.

  • Prayer Matters- Sidewalk Testimony

    Prayer Matters- Sidewalk Testimony

    By Tara Shaver

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico wrapped up a successful full month of prayer in April with our No Sidewalk Without the Savior Campaign. We have our amazing team of volunteers to thank for making sure that each day people were present and praying for an end to abortion at the University of New Mexico.

    One of our volunteers shared this testimony,I need to tell you what happened yesterday when praying at the clinic with Tom. A young lady walked all the way up the hill, started with ‘I am a Christian’ and told us she has 3 kids and just found out she is pregnant. She is barely making it now and is concerned about another baby. Her name is Samantha. Does not want an abortion but… Did not say she is married. We were struck with her concern for the future. We panicked to some extent. It is easy to pray “shut down this clinic” but tough to help someone going thru a real challenge. We prayed with her and gave her one of the resource packets.”This story demonstrates the importance of being present at the places where women seeking abortions are. If our team had not been there, this woman wouldn’t have local resources to pursue and she most likely wouldn’t have reached out for prayer because of the shame and stigma that is inevitable for women considering an abortion. It is a blessing to know that when the body of Christ is present opportunities arise and we can be the light in this dark world.

    Join us tomorrow for Faith To Action Friday as we collectively come together to put our faith into action outside the UNM abortion center.

    The University of New Mexico- UNM is at the heart of the abortion cartel in New Mexico, as a publicly funded institution UNM  performs late-term abortions up to 6 month, consistently promotes a culture of death and is actively training the next generation of abortionists.

    You’re Invited to Pray & to Stand Up For Life at the University of New Mexico’s free standing abortion facility.

    Faith To Action Friday Postponed, Join Our Team Meeting 2/15

    By Bud Shaver

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- Faith To Action Friday has been postponed this month (2/4/22) due to extreme weather and unsafe driving conditions from New Mexico’s first winter storm of 2022. Faith To Action Friday will resume next month on March 4th. In the meantime prayerfully consider joining our team. Abortion Free New Mexico will be hosting our next team meeting on February 15, 2022.

    This year, in 2022, Abortion Free New Mexico wants to organize a constant prayerful presence starting with the UNM Center for Reproductive Health abortion facility for every hour that they are open. This is one of the darkest places in our city but it can become a beacon of hope as Christians rise up to be a voice for the voiceless and their mothers. 

    We will not only need daily prayer volunteers but we also need day coordinators that will help us recruit people from their own churches or network of influence. The pro-life community has a crucial opportunity to meet minded women where they are and that is at the local abortion facilities.

    “According to New Mexico vital statistics the abortion rate among New Mexico residents is on the decline. This affirms that as our efforts to expose the horrors of the abortion industry and reach out to women in crisis, New Mexico women are rejecting abortion and choosing life. That being said, as more New Mexico women are rejecting abortion, Albuquerque is GROUND ZERO for late-term abortion and is home to three surgical abortion facilities in New Mexico. One of which is run by the University of New Mexico and funded by our tax dollars,” stated Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico.

    Other opportunities for involvement include helping with event coordination, fundraising and since this is an election year there is much to do to help our pro-life candidates and more. 

    If you are looking to get more involved in 2022 we’d like to ask you to fill out our get involved form and tell us where you’d like to serve.

    We are committed to continue our work to make New Mexico Abortion Free, as we increase our efforts in Albuquerque by establishing a stronger pro-life presence in our city.

    This just the beginning of making 2022 our best year yet and in making sure that every woman has the resources she needs to make a decision for life. We are stronger together.

    We know that the moms and babies that we fight so hard for are worthy of protection because every life is God’s masterpiece.

    Let’s work together to build a culture of life in New Mexico. With you on our team we will be able to do so much more in our city to help moms, save babies, educate the community and be a shining light in the darkness.
