  • ABORTION FREE FOR ALL IN NEW MEXICO: TAXES FUND ABORTIONS FOR MINORS, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND OUT OF STATE RESIDENTS

    ABORTION FREE FOR ALL IN NEW MEXICO: TAXES FUND ABORTIONS FOR MINORS, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND OUT OF STATE RESIDENTS

    Albuquerque, New Mexico- On August 5, 2024, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that her administration launched a $400,000 ad campaign throughout Texas to recruit more abortionists to New Mexico.

    According to Newsmax, 

    “The ad campaign, strewn across five major Texas newspapers and displayed across six billboards around the Houston Medical Center, is aiming to lure doctors to New Mexico, where they will have the ‘Freedom to Provide’ abortion, among other ostensible health services.”

    For over eight years, New Mexico has ranked last in the nation for education (the entire tenure of governor Michelle Lujan Grisham) and consistently ranks as one of the poorest states in the country. In addition to using New Mexico tax dollars to recruit abortionists, New Mexico Medicaid fully funds abortions as well. Is it not obvious that tax dollars would be better utilized to help pull children out of poverty and provide them with a good education, not kill them?

    Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement:

    “Using $400,000 of New Mexicans hard earned tax dollars to recruit abortionists to our state is disgraceful. The only thing New Mexico has to offer people is ABORTION under Michelle Lujan Grisham’s tenure as governor. Not a quality education, or a higher standard of life! The New Mexico Democrat controlled legislature couldn’t even deliver public safety measures to the people of New Mexico during its recent emergency special session. ABORTION and only ABORTION is all that the Democrat Party of New Mexico can agree upon. New Mexico has a vast supply of natural resources that should provide a high quality of life to every child in our state, but instead, the leaders only want to use our tax dollars to kill its most greatest asset, our children.”

    New Mexico Department of Health Provides Tax Funded Abortions to “Undocumented People”

    Abortion Free New Mexico discovered a website highlighted by the New Mexico Department of Health (pictured above) that is also promoting Medicaid funded abortions for (illegal) “undocumented” immigrant women and they emphatically state, 

    “A social security number is not required to get these benefits.”

    In fact, this website boasts how Planned Parenthood of New Mexico intentionally skirts around regulatory requirements to provide abortions to (illegal) “undocumented” immigrant women.

    In case there wasn’t enough proof of the abortion free for all in New Mexico, the radically pro-abortion network, “Hey Jane” spells is out pretty clearly:

    Tara Shaver continued,

    “New Mexico Democrats have created an ‘abortion free for all’ in our state that has opened the door for minors, illegal immigrants and out of state residents to kill their children via abortion using public tax dollars! Enough is enough, New Mexicans must rise up against this corrupt government. Take action, make your voice heard, contact your elected officials and make a plan to vote in November!”

  • New Mexico Legislative Update

    New Mexico Legislative Update

    By Tara Shaver

    Albuquerque, NM- The legislative session is well under way here in New Mexico. Today is the last day for legislators to submit their bills to be voted upon during this 60 day session. Both Republicans and Democrats have a slew of bills that represent where they stand on some very important issues facing our state and our nation.

    Republicans have sponsored legislation to protect babies born alive during abortions as well as late term abortion victims who have high probabilities of living outside the womb if given the chance.

    Democrats have sponsored bills to expand birth control coverage under the Affordable Care Act and to penalize doctors who refuse to do abortions based on their religious convictions.

    “It is encouraging to see pro-life state legislators sponsor solid no exceptions legislation that will protect pre-born babies in the womb. Both Senator Bill Sharer (R) from Farmington and Rep. Yvette Herrell (R) from Alamogordo have tightened up their late term abortion ban bills that DO NOT contain exceptions for rape and incest nor the subjective psychological “health” exception in them. Rep. Rod Montoya (R) from Farmington is sponsoring the Infant Born Alive Protection Act.  We fully support these pieces of legislation and encourage other legislators to support these bills that will save the lives of viable babies in our state,” stated Bud Shaver.

    Bills to support:

    HB 37 Born Alive Infant ProtectionBorn Alive Infant Protection

    HB 220 Partial and Late Term Abortion
    ​
    SB 183 Partial and Late Term Abortion

    SB 252 End of Life Options Act (Assisted Suicide)

    SB 120 Vital Record Sex Designation (This bill allows a person to change their gender on their birth certificate)

    SB 121 No Conversion Therapy (This bill prohibits counselors and clergy from providing therapy asserting that the homosexual lifestyle is contrary to biblical teaching)

    Please contact your Senator and Representative by phone and email to tell them where you stand on these various bills.
