"A new version of the abortion bill pushed last year by Lujan Grisham is not included on the governor’s agenda for this year’s session.

​The bill died on the Senate floor last year when eight Senate Democrats joined the chamber’s Republican members in voting against it and Senate Majority Leader Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, recently said during a pre-session event that “we simply do not have the votes” to pass the legislation during this year’s 30-day session, according to a Santa Fe New Mexican report.

The legislative session begins Tuesday and goes until Feb. 20."

​THIS GREAT NEWS HAS PROGRESS NOW NM TOTALLY UNHINGED!   

"The two billboards, from ProgressNow New Mexico*, will be on I-25 near the Budagher Drive exit, between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The signs face both north and south so drivers traveling in either direction will be able to see the message. 

The two highway billboards both say, 'Rape is about power and control. So are abortion bans.'
​
The second billboard will be on the side of a truck driving around the state Capitol building and downtown Santa Fe Tuesday."

"Progress Now NM appears to be totally unhinged this session after the amazing defeat of all pro-death legislation last year. While it is true that rape is about power and control, so is abortion.

This messaging does not resonate with the majority of New Mexicans who value life and family.

The pro-abortion community always touts a woman's right to have control over her body, however,  the control they demand is inevitably used to kill the innocent child within the womb during every abortion. On the other hand, abortion restrictions aim to protect the innocent, the one whom pro-abortion advocates impose their power and control over to the point of death."

BREITBART RECAP FROM LAST SESSION 2019...  

Catholic Democrats Join GOP to Defeat ‘Pro-Death’ Agenda in New Mexico

By Dr. Susan Berry

Pro-life advocates and Republicans in New Mexico are thanking the Catholic Democrats and other “patriots” who joined them [in] ending what was referred to as the “Pro-Death” agenda in the state legislature.

Bud Shaver, who leads AbortionFreeNM.com, told Breitbart News the defeat of House Bill 51 was “pretty miraculous.”

“With the Democrat party in total control of both chambers of the legislature, and the power to sign any law into effect with newly elected governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, a radically pro-abortion Democrat, we knew that if there was to be any hope of opposing their pro-death agenda, it was vital to activate the voice of the people of New Mexico and reach the hearts of the Catholic Democrats and urge them to vote their faith,” Shaver said.
He added that one of the “most encouraging developments” for members of his group during this legislative session was the connection they made with the patriot community of New Mexico.

“We were proud to stand together and protest in the capital against the push by fringe leftist democrats to destroy the values that most New Mexicans hold so dear,” he said. “Patriots from all across New Mexico joined together as one voice for prayer for New Mexico and to support President Donald J. Trump, stand up for life, the Constitution, the Second Amendment, Free Speech, the wall and against illegal immigration, rigged elections, higher taxes and corruption running rampant in New Mexico!”

The “Pro-Death” agenda consisted of HB 51, which would have decriminalized abortion, and HB 90 and an identical state Senate bill, SB 153, which would have legalized assisted suicide.

HB 51 would have compelled doctors and nurses in New Mexico to perform abortions and – similar to New York’s new abortion law and the controversial Virginia legislation – would have removed all restrictions to abortion.

While New Mexico already allows abortion up until birth, HB 51 would have removed a criminal ban on abortion that has remained on the books since before the Supreme Court’s invention of a right to abortion in Roe v. Wade in 1973.

“The criminal abortion law that was enacted by the legislature in 1969 doesn’t need to be stripped from New Mexico law, but strictly enforced,” Shaver said.

“We needed six Democrats to oppose HB 51, which was the attempt by the radical elements within the Democrat party of New Mexico to remove the partially unenforceable criminal abortion law enacted by the legislature in 1969,” he explained. “In the end, eight Democrats voted to oppose HB 51.

“We applaud the eight Democrats who voted their faith values in defense of life and broke rank with their radical extremist party that currently controls New Mexico,” he added.

Shaver said pro-life advocates are especially grateful for the efforts of the Catholic bishops of New Mexico who worked in defense of life. In addition to several official statements from the bishops. Abortion Free New Mexico noted the prayer vigil organized by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in the rotunda of the capitol building. Archbishop John Wester welcomed people of all faiths to join in prayer to “move the hearts of the Democrat legislators to oppose pro-death legislation,” the pro-life group said.

"Your feedback will help create the leadership profile used to develop the candidate pool for the next EVP/Chancellor​ of UNM Health Sciences."

Faith To Action Friday 

"UNM Health Sciences is looking for a new Executive Vice President/Chancellor, as Dr. Paul Roth has announced his retirement. WittKieffer, the firm selected to assist in the search for the next UNM Health Sciences EVP/Chancellor, will hold a forum at Domenici Auditorium this Friday, Jan. 17 at 5:15 p.m., and they want to hear from you! 

The HSC EVP/Chancellor oversees the educational, clinical, and research activities of UNM Health Sciences, including the UNM School of Medicine, Colleges of Nursing, Pharmacy, and Population Health, as well as clinical and research centers throughout the state. 

Dr. Roth will remain in his position until a new EVP/Chancellor is in place.
​
Your feedback will help create the leadership profile used to develop the candidate pool for the next EVP/Chancellor​ of UNM Health Sciences."

"The concerned members of the pro-life and pro-faith community of New Mexico have an opportunity to help reform the University of New Mexico and to help rebuild the University's reputation by providing public feedback regarding the nomination of the next Vice President/Chancellor candidate for the UNM Health Sciences Center.

We are encouraging members of the public to come on Friday, January 17th at 5:15PM and voice their concerns about the radical abortion agenda that the University of New Mexico (UNM) has taken under Dr. Paul Roth's tenor as Executive Vice President/Chancellor of the Health Sciences Center.

This extreme abortion agenda has tarnished UNM's reputation as the University of New Mexico was subject to a U.S. Congressional Investigation based on fetal body parts harvesting and experimental programs conducted by the UNM Health Sciences Center. In fact, the Select Panel on Infant Lives concluded their investigation alleging criminal conduct.

​While New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas dismissed those criminal referrals, Dr. Paul Roth's admission to experimental programs, where whole brains from aborted babies were used for dissection by 'summer camp' students, shocked the nation and has placed a dark stain upon UNM's reputation.

Now is the opportunity for the concerned members of the pro-life and pro-faith community to be an active participant in taking the publicly funded University of New Mexico in a more life affirming and morally conscientious direction under new leadership."
