ABORTION FREE NEW MEXICO IS STANDING UP FOR THE BABIES, CHURCHES, AND  SMALL BUSINESSES!

“If Governor Lujan Grisham is going to insist that abortion services are essential in New Mexico, our prayer and protest presence outside of these facilities is equally essential. Every life has value, and if she refuses to protect the lives of the smallest New Mexicans, those in their mothers’ wombs, then we have an obligation and the right afforded by the U.S. Constitution to do so. Our right to the freedom of speech and to peaceably assemble shall not be infringed upon.” ​​

"It's important for us to remember that even in the midst of a crisis we must maintain our unalienable rights as American citizens. We forfeit these rights if we don't use them. It only takes an hour to make a lasting difference and have an impact for LIFE. Now more than ever, we need to pray collectively, publicly, and strategically. Our presence has the ability to reform The University of New Mexico - UNM so that they get out of the abortion business!" Bud Shaver, Abortion Free New Mexico

"New Mexico for nearly a decade has been the declared 'mission field' for some of the country’s most strident activists opposed to abortion.

Bud and Tara Shaver, an activist couple with ties to Operation Rescue, relocated to Albuquerque in 2010 upon invitation from Father Stephen Imbarrato, a Catholic Priest.

The Shavers publicly labeled Albuquerque the 'late-term abortion capital of the world,' centering many of their networked efforts on the University of New Mexico and the medical practice of abortion provider Southwest Women’s Options. With a stated goal of making New Mexico 'abortion-free,' the Shavers have continued to work with Imbarrato, whose rhetoric and activism overlaps theirs in both urgency and focus.

'Legalized abortion in this country is a constitutional crisis for which no one in our government has ever taken responsibility,' Fr. Stephen Imbarrato wrote. He added that the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision 45 years ago ushered in “government-sanctioned and funded daily mass murder of thousands of innocent preborn.’

Ending what he refers to as an ‘American Holocaust’ has to be decisive. “Nothing is more important.”

One-third of the 1,193 state abortion restrictions passed since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Roe v. Wade in 1973 were enacted between 2011 and 2017, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights research and policy group.

​In that same time period, New Mexico enacted zero major limitations. It remains, to the pride or ire of advocates on opposite sides of the abortion aisle, one of the least restrictive states in the nation.

'I know that in some circles [New Mexico is] considered the worst place in hell for Americans, or something like that,' Penn said. 'But we’ve got to be damn proud that this is a place that women can look to, and where women feel safe.'

On any given day, and especially on days when abortions are performed, protesters gather outside Boyd’s clinic. For years, Albuquerque missionaries Bud and Tara Shaver led the protests.

The Shavers have made campaigning against abortion their life’s work. Albuquerque, they often say, is 'the late-term abortion capital of the world.'

Tara Shaver said she finds the religious coalition’s pro-faith, pro-abortion rights agenda 'ironic.'
​
'They support the killing of babies, and they’re helping women to kill their babies,' she said. 'Being religious doesn’t buffer that at all.'

The Current Crisis

"We have discussed this matter and the clinics are not going to close. Some people are claiming that abortions are elective surgeries and we are not considering them as elective surgeries." ​

Join us for prayer and protest this week

Bud Shaver, Abortion Free New Mexico

"The anti-abortion group Abortion Free New Mexico called the protest, calling it a “Faith to Action Friday.” According to the groups’ website, protestors were asked to gather from noon to 1 p.m. to protest the fact that abortion is considered an essential service in New Mexico."

“If Governor Lujan Grisham is going to insist that abortion services are essential in New Mexico, our prayer and protest presence outside of these facilities is equally essential.

"Abortion clinics are still open during the lock down. What's wrong with this picture my friends? This story is a must read. Is Abortion an essential business? Our top elected officials think so, from Congress to Governor (BTW-all Democrats). Your vote has consequences, our Congressional Delegation to include, Deb Haaland, who I'm running against, believe that this is an essential business. As you read the story you will read that people are coming in from out of state to have their abortions. Other states have chosen to shut down their abortion clinics due to the virus. Planned Parenthood has over 48 million dollars to spend to ensure they will have a congress that votes in their favor this election cycle. So when I say your vote has consequences, this is proof that it does. What would be the harm of stopping the termination of innocent children for one month, two months, maybe even three? It might just give a woman the opportunity to rethink her decision, there are numerous nonprofit organizations willing to help the mother and child. Tara Shaver, thank you for your thoughtful comments in the article. We do have religious freedom to pray anywhere. We also have a constitutional right to freedom of speech. The only ones who don't have a voice are the unborn, thank you for being a voice for the unborn."
