(VIDEO) Abortion Free New Mexico Robbed Twice In One Day

By Bud Shaver,

Albuquerque, New Mexico- On August 15, 2024, Abortion Free New Mexico leader, Bud Shaver, was peacefully and prayerfully reaching out to abortion bound women at Whole Woman’s Health abortion facility located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As part of his first amendment activity, he had pro-life signs, a “Love Box” containing baby items and helpful resources for pregnant moms, a diaper cake and Texas Department of Health resource publications (A Woman’s Right To Know and Resource Directory).

While he was waiting for the rest of his team to arrive, at approximately 8:15AM, a man in a vehicle (arrayed with several activist bumper stickers one being a LGBT equal sign) rapidly swerved over (from the driving lane into the parking lane) in a violent show of force attempting to strike Bud on the sidewalk. A few minutes later, the man approached Bud on the sidewalk and attempted to steal a large pro-life sign pictured above. Bud told the man to he couldn’t steal his property and took the sign away from him.

After failing to steal the first sign, the man then fled and grabbed another sign (front stating, “FREE RESOURCES Pull Over For Help!” back stating, “Love Will End Abortion”). Bud followed him around the block, but was not able to retrieve the sign.

When Bud returned to Whole Woman’s Health abortion facility, he noticed that his pro-life resources had been stolen, presumably by the abortion center workers!

On the sidewalks in front of abortion centers you never know what you will encounter. This incident happened very quickly and Bud tried to de-escalate the situation in the face of a hostile pro-abortionist that had demonstrated his intentions in his vehicle before approaching him on the sidewalk. Please pray for our teams that stand in the gap for pregnant moms and babies daily in the Albuquerque area.

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

“Abortion Free New Mexico was robbed twice in one day, first by a violent pro-abortion extremist, and then by the abortion facility workers! Clearly our peaceful, prayerful presence is having an impact. Our signs and resources are seen as such a threat to the pro-abortion community that they have to steal them. Our team will not be deterred, we will purchase some more signs and materials and return to Whole Woman’s Health abortion facility more resolute than ever to help pregnant women in need and save precious babies lives.”
