Abortion Free New Mexico Calls  Upon President Trump To Freeze Federal Funds That Are Being Used By New Mexico Medicaid To Fund Full Term Abortions

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.
​
It is the policy of the United States, consistent with the Hyde Amendment, to end the forced use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion."
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,
  • In 2022, the federal government covered 84.6% of New Mexico's Medicaid costs.
  • Medicaid is the largest expenditure in New Mexico's budget.

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!

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."

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.

New Mexico Supreme Court Tramples Pro-Life Counties and Cities Right to Protect the Unborn

1/9/2025

By Bud Shaver,

Santa Fe, New Mexico- The New Mexico Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Thursday, January 9, 2025 that counties and cities across the state cannot enact pro-life laws to protect pre-born babies. The Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn ordinances that were passed in New Mexico are known as Comstock Only Ordinances. These laws are not explicit abortion bans, but are "de facto" abortion bans. They require compliance with federal statutes specifically, specifically 18 U.S.C. § 1461 and 18 U.S.C. § 1462, prohibiting the mailing and receiving of abortion-inducing drugs and paraphernalia, according to Mark Lee Dickson.


According to the New Mexico Supreme Court's overriding opinion, 

The Court wrote that the ordinances did not exactly follow federal law but went beyond the requirements. Several of the ordinances authorized city or county leaders to approve or deny licenses for abortion clinics and providers.

'Because Respondents’ authority to regulate health care access and physician licensure is entirely preempted, Respondents’ police powers in these areas are extremely limited,' the Court wrote. 'To the extent Respondents have any residual authority, they certainly have no power to supplant the will of the statewide electorate in favor of their own.'

The counties and cities affected by the decision are: Lea County, Roosevelt County, Eunice, Clovis, Hobbs and Edgewood New Mexico. These local governments argued that the ordinances constituted a lawful exercise of their powers for protecting the “health and safety” of  their residents.

​Abortion Free New Mexico first reported in 2019 on Lea County becoming first county in New Mexico to take this bold action:
Lea County Board of County Commissioners passed, “A Resolution In Support of the Unborn” making Lea County the FIRST  Sanctuary County in New Mexico for the UNBORN! Jonathan Sena, District 4 County Commissioner sponsored the resolution. Thank you and God Bless Lea County, New Mexico!
The other counties and cities soon followed in their footsteps and took swift action to enact pro-life measures to prevent radical pro-abortion expansion into their communities.

​
 ​As reported by the Las Cruces Sun News, Abortion Free New Mexico has fully supported these efforts.
After each local government in New Mexico voted to adopt a resolution essentially denouncing abortion, the fiercely anti-abortion organization Abortion Free New Mexico, run by Albuquerque residents Bud and Tara Shaver, issued a news release touting the action."
  • Full report: New Mexico at forefront of nationwide sanctuary cities for the unborn movement​
Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement:
In 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ruled that states all across the country can now enact and enforce laws protecting the unborn. The Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn ordinances were based on federal laws that should absolutely be enforceable in every state.

​The unconstitutional ruling by the New Mexico Supreme Court just proves that federal protection must be granted to restore personhood to the unborn because it should never be left up to corrupt states to arbitrarily decide who lives and who dies. Abortion Free New Mexico condemns the New Mexico Supreme Court's decision to undermine federal laws from being enforced in our state where abortion tourism is so rampant. Women and children deserve better, cities and counties should be able to protect their citizens, whether born or unborn."
