Albuquerque, New Mexico- Every week for several years, Abortion Free New Mexico's (AFNM) sidewalk counseling team has interacted with a security guard at the UNM Center for Reproductive Health (UNMCRH) abortion center. Some days, he has been aggressive and hostile, other times he actually seemed supportive of our efforts. Due to the AFNM team's public opposition to the University of New Mexico's radical abortion agenda, he appeared to be struggling with a crisis of conscience. A University of New Mexico (UNM) employee attempted to drown out our message. (parked their car and intentionally turned on their car alarm. Our efforts will not be silenced.
He shared at one point, after being educated by the AFNM sidewalk counseling team about the dangers to women posed by this facility, that he would at times encourage mothers to seek help from AFNM volunteers, and in the middle of 2024, he shared that a relative of his, was struggling with cancer.
AFNM volunteers would pray with him regularly and always encouraged him to find work elsewhere.
Praise God, the Abortion Free New Mexico sidewalk counseling team has confirmed that this security guard quit his job from the abortion industry because in his own words, I just couldn't do it anymore."
The effectiveness of sidewalk ministry is boundless.
Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement: You just can’t shake abortion stigma. The killing of an innocent child through abortion will never be normalized. Abortion, doesn’t just taint the women seeking abortions, but also the workers at abortion facilities. Shame, regret, and even self hatred haunts those most closely involved in abortions. While we rejoice when a mom chooses life, we also rejoice when abortion workers walk away from the abortion industry. Abortion Free New Mexico applauds this abortion clinic worker who bravely walked away from the UNM free-standing abortion facility (UNMCRH). This testimony is a direct result of our volunteers who prayerfully minister to everyone with love and compassion."

Albuquerque, New Mexico- On January 24, 2025 President Donald J. Trump issued an Executive Order reinstating the Hyde Amendment. The Executive Order, "Enforcing The Hyde Amendment" stated in part, Section 1. Purpose and Policy. For nearly five decades, the Congress has annually enacted the Hyde Amendment and similar laws that prevent Federal funding of elective abortion, reflecting a longstanding consensus that American taxpayers should not be forced to pay for that practice. However, the previous administration disregarded this established, commonsense policy by embedding forced taxpayer funding of elective abortions in a wide variety of Federal programs.
On Tuesday January 28, 2025 President Donald J. Trump announced an abrupt freeze on broad swath of federal payments.
The Trump administration will temporarily stop payments on multiple federal programs Tuesday evening [.]"
It was unclear how this freeze on federal funds would impact Medicaid.
Democratic U.S. senators reported Medicaid portals in all 50 states were down on Tuesday."
However, a subsequent document issued from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) stated,
“In addition to Social Security and Medicare, already explicitly excluded in the guidance, mandatory programs like Medicaid and SNAP will continue without pause.”
Interestingly though, this document clearly indicated that programs affected by this freeze on federal funds must adhere to President Donald J. Trumps recent Executive Orders including the, "Enforcing The Hyde Amendment".
New Mexico is one of the most dependent states upon federal funds to cover Medicaid. According to Google AI,
New Mexico Medicaid 100% funds full-term abortions.
New Mexico Medicaid 100% funds full-term abortions. In fact, in a recent report, Abortion Free New Mexico exposed that the New Mexico Department of Health website indicated that New Mexico Medicaid would fund abortions for minors and even illegal immigrants!
In this bombshell report Abortion Free New Mexico brought the receipts. Here are screen shots from the New Mexico Department of Health website, links therein and related links:
Abortion Free New Mexico took to social media and asked President Trump's Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt,
Can President Donald J. Trump and The White House ensure that NO federal funds will continue to fund full-term abortions in New Mexico?"
Tara Shaver issued the following statement,
Abortion Free New Mexico is calling upon President Donald J. Trump and his administration to immediately freeze federal funds to New Mexico that are being used by New Mexico Medicaid to fully fund full term abortions."
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."

Washington D.C.- On Thursday, January 23, 2025 President Donald J. Trump issued a pardon for 23 pro-life prisoners, imprisoned during the former President, Joe Biden's, administration. Abortion Free New Mexico was one of several pro-life organizations that were publicly urging President Donald J. Trump to issue a pardon. President Trump remarked during the signing of the pardon, "They should never have been prosecuted, many of them are elderly people."
President Trump concluded the signing of the pardon ceremony by stating,
This is a great honor to sign this."
Here is video footage of some of the peaceful pro-life Christians arrested in Tennessee on March 5, 2021 those arrested included, Chester Gallagher, Heather Idoni, Calvin Zastrow, Coleman Boyd, Paul Vaughn and Dennis Green.
UPDATED: A full list of those pardoned include:
Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement,
Abortion Free New Mexico would like to thank President Donald J. Trump for acting so swiftly and decisively in pardoning the 23 peaceful pro-life prisoners. These courageous individuals' sacrifice should inspire us all to ask, 'What more can I do to peacefully work to end the injustice of abortion,' especially in radical pro-abortion states like New Mexico. It is a constitutional crisis that pre-born babies in the womb have legal protection in some states, but lose their humanity and can be legally killed by abortion in others. It is now time for Congress to overturn the FACE act that many of these prisoners were charged with. |
