🚨 OPINION PART TWO: “WE DON’T WANT TO BE POLITICAL”: HOW NEW MEXICO CHURCHES SURRENDERED THE PUBLIC SQUARE 🚨 While activists organize, register voters, and aggressively shape culture, much of the Church retreats into silence — and New Mexico is living with the consequences. In this new opinion piece, Bud Shaver examines how decades of Christian disengagement, fear of controversy, and political neutrality helped create one of the most radically pro-abortion states in America. 📖 Read the full opinion piece: Opinion Part Two: abortionfreenm.com/news/opinion-p… Churches rejected even a simple TPUSA homeschool informational table because they “didn’t want to be political.” But meanwhile:• Abortion activists organize relentlessly.• LGBT activists organize relentlessly.• Secular progressives organize relentlessly. And many churches refuse even basic civic engagement. 🗣 Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico warns: “When Christians retreat from political life, evil does not become less political — it simply becomes less opposed. New Mexico is now living with the consequences of a silent Church.”
🚨Many people believe late-term abortions only happen in medical emergencies. That is simply not true‼️ Outside the Southwestern Women’s Options, abortions are performed up to 32 weeks—and we have personally confirmed with the clinic that they will perform them for reasons beyond medical necessity. 💔 That’s why we stand here. 🙏 To speak for the children in the womb, 👶offer help to families, 🤝 and call the Church to action. ✝️🤍 There is a place for you on this sidewalk. 🙌 This is not just a political issue. These are real babies, real mothers, and real lives forever changed. We stand on the sidewalk because love shows up. 🤝👶

🚨 HISTORIC WIN FOR LIFE IN TEXAS The City of Muleshoe, Texas has officially become the 97th Sanctuary City for the Unborn nationwide and the 80th in Texas after passing an ordinance addressing abortion trafficking and protecting women, children, and families. Read the full report here: abortionfreenm.com/news/muleshoe-… Abortion Free New Mexico was honored to stand with local leaders and citizens during this effort, including strategically placing a billboard near the New Mexico-Texas border warning women about traveling into New Mexico for abortions and reminding them that Texas laws exist to protect both women and their unborn children. The billboard corridor was intentionally chosen because it has become a major pathway for Texas women traveling into New Mexico for abortions following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico testified before the city council and warned about the growing pipeline of women and minors being brought into New Mexico under one of the most unregulated abortion systems in the nation. “Communities like Muleshoe are sending a message that women deserve support, protection, and real alternatives that uphold the dignity and safety of both mother and child.” — Tara Shaver, @AbortionFreeNM
PLANNED PARENTHOOD REOPENS SANTA FE FACILITY AS NEW MEXICO'S ABORTION INDUSTRY EXPANDS AMID NATIONAL CLINIC CLOSURES 🚨 Planned Parenthood has reopened another abortion facility in New Mexico — this time in Santa Fe — as abortion expansion accelerates across the state despite clinic closures nationwide. Abortion Free New Mexico’s latest report documents: ▪️ 15 freestanding abortion facilities statewide▪️ 7 facilities concentrated in Albuquerque alone▪️ 63% of abortions now done through chemical abortion pills▪️ Expansion of remote abortion access through telemedicine and activist distribution networks The report also raises concerns about growing mail-order abortion pill distribution models operating in New Mexico, including those promoted through The Satanic Temple’s remote abortion program. “At a time when Planned Parenthood facilities across the nation are shutting down under financial pressure, New Mexico politicians continue investing taxpayer resources into expanding the abortion industry here,” said Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico. Read the full report here: abortionfreenm.com/news/planned-p… New Mexico’s abortion industry is not shrinking — it is expanding rapidly through brick-and-mortar facilities, chemical abortion distribution, and taxpayer-backed infrastructure projects. As national scrutiny over abortion drugs intensifies, the future of oversight and accountability remains a growing concern.
💐 Mother’s Day Miracles: Because Someone Was There in Their Darkest Hour 💗 Mother’s Day is more than simply celebrating our own mothers. As Mother’s Day 2026 comes to a close, we wanted to share two powerful testimonies from new mothers who are celebrating today because someone showed up in their darkest hour. One young mother from Austin, Texas recently reached back out to our team after months of silence and shared photos of her beautiful baby boy born in January. Another courageous young mother — just 16 years old — recently welcomed her precious baby girl in Roswell, New Mexico. Through the Abortion Free New Mexico Life Fund, these mothers received practical help, encouragement, and ongoing support when they felt alone. 💙 6 moms supported 💙 $3,729.02 in direct aid provided 💙 Families helped across Texas and New Mexico “Sometimes the greatest gift we can give a woman is simply knowing she is not alone,” said Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico. “These babies are precious reminders that when compassion shows up in someone’s darkest hour, hope can change everything.” Because someone cared enough to show up, two mothers are holding their babies today. And that changes everything. Read the testimonies here: abortionfreenm.com/news/mothers-d… Mother’s Day Miracles – @AbortionFreeNM
💗 MOTHER’S DAY OUTREACH 2026 💗 Today, Abortion Free New Mexico’s sidewalk outreach team spent Mother’s Day weekend reaching out to women with flowers, encouragement, prayer, resources, and hope outside Albuquerque abortion facilities. Our message was simple: 🌸 “When you’re pregnant, you are already a mom.” Mothers received bouquets of flowers, gift boxes, and personal encouragement reminding them they are not alone — and that support, compassion, and practical help are available. Each week, our sidewalk counseling teams continue outreach outside all 7 abortion facilities in Albuquerque, offering truth, love, and life-affirming support to women and families facing difficult decisions. By God’s grace, 6 babies have already been saved this year through these outreach efforts. 🙏 And our commitment does not end in the parking lot. Right now, moms who chose life are receiving practical assistance and ongoing support through AFNM’s Life Fund — including baby supplies, food assistance, transportation help, and other life-affirming resources. Please continue praying: 💗 For softened hearts 💗 For peaceful conversations 💗 For mothers facing difficult decisions 💗 For the families we serve 💗 For lives to be saved throughout New Mexico Thank you for standing with us as we work to bring compassion, hope, and support to women across New Mexico.
