On October 24, 2023, the city of Belen Fire Station held a ribbon cutting ceremony to debut their newly installed Safe Haven baby box. On October 21 the Carlsbad Fire Station 1 had their Safe Haven Baby Box blessed at a ceremony that was open to the public. This makes for the 4th Safe Haven Baby Box installed in the state of New Mexico, the others are located in Española and Hobbs. The city of Farmington approved a resolution on October 11 of this year for a box to be installed at Fire Station 2 and other cities are considering installations. Safe Haven Baby boxes provide an alternative to abandoning newborns or disposing of them in dumpsters or trash cans which happens far too often here in the Land of Enchantment. Newborns under 90 days old can be placed in these Safe Haven Baby Boxes or taken to a local church, hospital, fire station or police station with staff on site. On September 23 of this year, a healthy baby boy was safely placed in the Hobbs Safe Haven baby box. This was the first life that has been saved in New Mexico and serves as proof that these boxes are an effective tool to save lives. Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico issued the following statement, “It’s beautiful to see that New Mexico has life affirming options for women who are simply overwhelmed or unprepared for motherhood. It is truly a sacrificial act of love that leads these moms to deposit their babies into a Safe Haven baby box, thereby giving them a hope and a future. Abortion Free New Mexico is in full support of these baby boxes and it is our hope that every county will install these as quickly as possible and that more awareness about their availability will spread like wildfire across the state. Every life is beautiful and is worth protecting, both inside and outside of the womb.” Join Abortion Free New Mexico for our 3rd Annual Year End Finale for Life Appreciation Fundraising Dinner on November 16, 2023.

By Bud Shaver, Albuquerque, New Mexico- In a sad and sobering report by a pro-abortion research arm, New Mexico experienced a 220% increase in abortions from January 2020-June 2023, which is the highest increase in the nation. As more women come to New Mexico abortion facilities, the pro-life community has an amazing opportunity to minister to them and give them hope to keep their babies. Abortion Free New Mexico wants to ensure that the local pro-life community is prepared with the knowledge and courage to defend precious lives. Join Abortion Free New Mexico for an afternoon of training and fellowship as we dive into a comprehensive look at the abortion cartel as well as the hard truth about how abortions are done and the beauty of fetal development. We will also begin building our high school outreach team which will be prepared to engage New Mexico's youth with the truth about abortion. Did you know that minors in New Mexico can obtain abortions without their parents knowledge? In fact, because of the passage of the new law HB7, any member of a public body "shall not deny, restrict, or interfere with a person’s ability to access or provide reproductive health care or gender-affirming health care within the medical standard of care." School districts and institutions of higher education are considered public bodies and are expected not to interfere but to affirm whatever choice a child wants to make. We hope you'll partner with Abortion Free New Mexico to directly engage high school students with invaluable pro-life information that can help impact course of their future! Let's work together to build a culture that loves life and honors the Lord. Training Details:
By Bud Shaver, Albuquerque, New Mexico- On Wednesday, July 19th Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers documented the sixth abortion injury of 2023 at the UNM Center for Reproductive Health abortion center. A fire engine and an ambulance were photographed onsite and a woman was taken to a local emergency room. It is unknown what injuries were incurred because the City of Albuquerque refuses to release redacted 911 calls to Abortion Free Mexico leader, Tara Shaver. First and second trimester procedures are performed up to 24 weeks (6 months) of pregnancy at this location. This abortion injury occurred just weeks after New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham launched a Reproductive Health Hotline to connect women with abortion providers throughout the state. Abortion Free New Mexico confirmed through a recorded phone call that this hotline is only referring women to pro-abortion organizations and offers little to no help to women who want to continue their pregnancies. Spokeswoman, Tara Shaver issued the following statement, One thing is for sure, the abortion industry is determined to kill children in the womb no matter what harm may come to the women seeking these grisly invasive procedures. It is a shame that women are not told about potential complications and sometimes irreversible damage that can occur at the hands of local abortionists. Abortion is not healthcare, there is no healing involved in an abortion only death, guilt, shame and regret.” Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers continue to be on the frontlines everyday in front of Albuquerque abortion facilities. They serve as a voice for unborn children who are scheduled to die and as a resource for women who are open to hearing about all of their options. These volunteers see first hand that the New Mexico abortion cartel is actively thwarting opportunities for women to learn about other positive alternatives to abortion. The UNM Center for Reproductive Health has recently installed a gate to prevent sidewalk counselors from interacting with women in a nearby alley and have also modified their scheduling procedures to have all abortion patients enter the abortion center during a one hour time frame each day. Abortion Free New Mexico is currently serving two women that have chosen life for their babies. Action Item: Contact the Board of Regents at University Of New Mexico and insist that this dangerous abortion facility be closed for good.
