Roe Overturned! Democracy Restored

By Bud Shaver,

Albuquerque, New Mexico- In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade! Power has been restored back to the people, states all across the country can now enact and enforce just laws protecting the most vulnerable lives, those living and developing in their mother's womb.

Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement,
Today's SCOTUS decision will save countless lives and ushers in a new era of building a culture that loves life across this nation. 

The Supreme Court of the United States has finally reinstated democracy with the overruling of Roe v. Wade by restoring the legislative power back to the states. For far too many years the states have been prohibited from enacting life saving legislation that would protect babies and their mothers from the horrors and long term effects of abortion. The unjust halting of pro-life legislation across the nation by the lower courts and by judicial activism can now come to an end. 

Abortion Free New Mexico is grateful that the States will now be able to enact and enforce life saving legislation that will protect the most vulnerable lives in our community, pre-born lives.

In New Mexico, our battle for life continues as we must now work harder than ever to support Pro-Life Candidates and take back control from the radical pro-abortion Democrats that have seized all levels of power, thwarting any common sense Pro-Life measures from being passed. New Mexico has been and will continue to be ground zero in our country for abortion tourism and a destination for the most extreme and barbaric abortions through all nine months of pregnancy.

Abortion Free New Mexico stands with the local Pro-Life community to build a stronger alliance to meet the needs of pregnant women and we renew our call for candidates on the 2022 election ballot to sign our Pro-Life Pledge as we work together to build a culture that loves life in our state."

Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico was featured today in this LA Times article highlighting how New Mexico is ground zero and how we need to support pregnant women in a post Roe America: 
  • As Roe vs. Wade falls, New Mexico braces for a steep rise of abortion seekers​
Excerpt:
While abortion advocates consider the coalition a sort of underground railroad for women in crisis, those who oppose the work — like Tara Shaver, a local antiabortion missionary — say the system affirms Albuquerque’s reputation as the “late-term abortion capital of the world.”

“The term ‘abortion’ has lost all meaning, and this place brings it back,” Shaver said. “We don’t need to shuttle women into New Mexico. We need to meet these women where they are and provide enough support that they don’t need to choose between their child’s life and their own.”
​

Shaver organized a schedule with other local Christians to ensure that at least one person is praying during every operational hour of local abortion clinics.

Remembrance Headstone at Local Cemetery

By Bud Shaver,

Albuquerque, New Mexico- Every September Abortion Free New Mexico holds a memorial service for the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children at the only cemetery in the state where aborted children are buried. Over the last few years we have helped men and women place their aborted and miscarried babies names on remembrance headstones, in order to give them a place to grieve and heal from the loss of their beloved children.
Picture
Having an abortion weighs heavily on the hearts of many women. There is, however, healing through Christ as well as specific programs that can help prevent future abortions and also provide closure for both men and women impacted by abortion. Many healing programs include the naming of the aborted child.

Abortion Free New Mexico is acquiring another headstone for the Sandia Memory Gardens and is gathering names from the community to be placed on the remembrance stone.
  • If you or a loved one would benefit from this ministry and would like to have a baby's name engraved on a remembrance stone please have them reach out to us by phone: 505-319-7825 or email: ShaverMissions@gmail.com before the end of June to submit their baby's name.
Picture
We would also like to let our community know that there are numerous post abortion healing programs available and Abortion Free New Mexico highly recommends going through one of these programs to find healing from an abortion.

Here are some of those resources:
Mourning to Joy
Silent No More Awareness/Rachel's Vineyard
Surrendering the Secret
Project Rachel

2022 Primary Election Analysis: Pro-Life Pledge Signers

6/9/2022

By Bud Shaver

Albuquerque, New Mexico- Now that the New Mexico primary election is over, here is Abortion Free New Mexico's analysis of the candidates election results who signed our pro-life pledge and will be on the November 8th general election ballot. These candidates have made a firm commitment to stand for life which has energized the pro-life community. All across the state the primary election results held on June 7, 2022 revealed that republicans are getting more engaged and many of the races in the upcoming general election on November 8, 2022 are winnable (when the republican primary voter turnout is compared with their democrat opponents).

Abortion Free New Mexico will continue to provide candidates an opportunity to sign our simple yet solid pro-life pledge to assure their constituents that they will defend life from conception to natural death. 
Pro-Life pledge signers running unopposed (no democrat opponent in the general election)​:
  • Randall Pettigrew (R) House District 61
  • Paul Grider (R) Roosevelt County Commissioner District 5​
​These Pro-Life pledge signers races had higher voter turnout than their democrat opponents:
Picture
  • Michelle Garcia Holmes (R) U.S. Congress District 1 (+29)
  • Alan Martinez (R) House District 23 (+523)
  • Amy Barela (R) Otero County Commissioner District 2 (+1,053)
  • John Block (R) House District 51 (+2,153)
​Head to Head races where democrats had a slim lead over Pro-Life pledge signers:
Picture
  • Greg Cunningham (R) House District 29 (-93)
  • Elizabeth Winterrowd (R) House District 53 (-53)
  • Sandra Hammack (R) House District 38 (-106)
  • Ellis McMath (R) House District 17 (-124)
  • Robert Salazar (R) House District 20 (-281)
  • Judy Young (R) Bernalillo County Commissioner District 5 (-470)

​CANDIDATES: If you are currently running for office in New Mexico and have not signed our Pro-Life Pledge, there is still time before election day! Click HERE and follow the instructions. (We will update this list as candidates sign.)
 
​Abortion Free New Mexico’s Pro-Life Pledge states:
I pledge to defend life from conception to natural death. In making and keeping this pledge, I am committed to ending all abortion and all assisted suicide in the state of New Mexico.”
​Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement,
It is encouraging to have so many republican voters rise up to support pro-life candidates and to see that in several of these races pro-life pledge signers have outright leads or are in a head to head race with their democrat opponents. 

The pro-abortion community wants nothing more than to expand abortion in New Mexico. Abortionists from across the nation have their sights set on our state for abortion tourism that will bring big profits to their businesses. We stand with everyday New Mexicans who don't want our state to be known as the late term abortion capital of the nation and we will work to elect new leaders who stand strong for our children in the womb. Abortion on demand is not a New Mexican value and is not healthcare for women."
Together we can make a difference and change the direction of New Mexico.
