(AFNM Sidewalk volunteers)

Albuquerque, New Mexico- On Thursday, July 31, a couple in their early 20’s chose life for their pre-born baby outside of an all trimester abortion center in Albuquerque, NM. The Abortion Free New Mexico sidewalk team prayed with this couple from the Texas hill country, who stated that they had been reading the Bible the night before. All they needed was encouragement to make the right choice. The sidewalk team also gave them the assurance of ongoing help and mentorship throughout the pregnancy.
“This is what can happen when we put our Christian faith into action. We rejoice that this couple accepted the encouragement to choose life for their baby, but we shudder to think of what would have happened had our team not been there. Every woman, every couple and every family deserves to know that the pro-life community is ready to walk with them throughout an unplanned pregnancy and that there are resources to meet every need a pregnant mother has. This couple will receive the absolute best mentorship and discipleship on their journey and we look forward to what the future holds for this family,” stated Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico.
Currently, the majority of women seeking abortions in New Mexico are from out of state, primarily Texas. Abortion Free New Mexico has over 40 volunteers that reach out to abortion minded women daily at Albuquerque abortion centers. Most women these sidewalk teams encounter are not aware of the plethora of resources that are available to them. This fact makes a peaceful and supportive sidewalk presence so vital in Albuquerque where there are six abortion centers.
The babies below were born this year after being spared from abortion through the ministry of Abortion Free New Mexico.
