CONFIRMED: Committee Hearing Saturday, Parental Rights Bill Needs Support

1/30/2018

Committee Needs to Hear From YOU 
After an effort to obstruct the legislative process and public support for the Parental Notification of Abortion Act (HB 56), it has been confirmed that HB 56 is scheduled for the Consumer and Public Affairs Committee and ask that supporters be prepared with a 1 minute speech for public testimony on Saturday, February 3, 2018.

HB 56 Hearing Information
WHERE: House floor, Capitol, Santa Fe, NM
WHEN: Saturday, February 3rd - 9:00 a.m.
Free Parking: 420 Galisteo Street, Santa Fe, NM - directions here.   

Public Testimony Opportunity: In preparation for the committee hearing, public testimony is crucial-- we need parents, youth program leaders, girls under 18, school teachers and all concerned citizens to attend and voice support for HB 56.  Please prepare a 1 minute speech, with personal testimony and include several points from our FACT SHEET here.
. 
Support the Bill: View HB 56, the Parental Notification of Abortion fact sheet and contact your legislators today to support this important legislation. Also, contact the House Consumer & Public Affairs Committee and ask them to vote for HB 56.

Lastly, SHARE this critical information with others, across social media networks and with your churches and groups. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter today-- help us bring about public awareness on this serious matter affecting young girls, parents and families across the state.

Parental Notification Needed for Aspirin, Not Abortion
Download our fact sheet here.

Did you know across New Mexico, teen girls can be taken off school property by an adult male and have an abortion, without any parental involvement or notification?
  • Parental consent is needed for an aspirin, but not an abortion.
  • If someone wanted to take your daughter in for an abortion, wouldn't you want to know?
  • A child age 13 or 14 years old should not be expected to manage her own healthcare while undergoing a life changing invasive, medical procedure,
  • Parental involvement provides vital information to avert medical risks that will affect their child's health, safety and emotional well-being.
  • Cases show girls are serially raped and sexually abused for years after the abortion clinic where they were taken ignored the state's mandatory reporting law.
  • 60-80% of pregnant minors 15 and under are impregnated by adult males
  • 37 states protect girls and require notification of a parent before a girl has an abortion.
  • The abortion industry has been caught actively concealing statutory rape and sex trafficking of minors from parents and authorities.
"We are behind 37 states in parental rights as far as protection of our sons and our daughters," said HB 56 sponsor Rep. Rick Little. "I have two daughters and there is no way you can say you want your daughter to get an abortion without your knowledge. That is absolutely unreasonable and absurd. We need to catch up with reality as far as the family and parental rights--when our daughters can't take an aspirin or go on a school trip, but the perpetrator can take them down to get an abortion without the parent knowing."
"On top of it, the parent is financially and personally responsible," Little added. "This is a lawsuit waiting to happen and I believe the state of New Mexico would lose that lawsuit."

U.S. Senate Voted Down Pain Capable Abortion Ban
Monday the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act was voted down  in the U.S. Senate. Both New Mexico Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich voted against protecting innocent life. The bill aimed to protect unborn babies, at 20 weeks gestation or farther, from the excruciating pain of abortion. The bill has also been called Micah's Law, referencing a baby born at 22-weeks who has gone on to live a normal, healthy life.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, the lead sponsor, said the United States should be ashamed to be one of only seven nations, along with China and North Korea, to allow elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Pro-life senators have indicated they will bring this bill, or similar legislation, up again this year.

President Trump on Sanctity of Human Life Day
President Trump made a strong stand for life by becoming the first president to address the national March for Life, but also by marking the tragic, 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, January 22nd, as "Sanctity of Human Life Day"!
(Read more below, IMPORTANT Call to Action ).

Santa Fe Pro-Life Rally Draws BIG Crowds
Over one thousand pro-life supporters and leaders participated in this year's Sanctity of Life and Unity Day and Pro-Life Youth Summit on January 16th & 17th in at the capitol in Santa Fe.

With innocent lives on the line, pro-life speakers including Rep. Rod Montoya (R- San Juan), stirred up enthusiasm as they talked about the importance of supporting pro-life legislation this session.  Legislators who publicly claim to be Christian like Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, Rep. Patricia Roybal Caballero and others were called to vote for pro-life legislation, rather than work against.

Watch the the video of the rally speeches here.

Top left: Pro-Life youth call for equal rights for the unborn
Top right: Pro-Life march included a thousand participants
Bottom left: Advocates visit in Gov. Martinez office, asking she put all pro-life bills on the call
Bottom right: Pro-Life advocates brave the icy temperatures to participate in energizing rally
Pro-Life Legislation
Three pro-life bills drafted by NMAFL were pre-filed by legislators, addressing the most extreme abortion policies in New Mexico, but only one, HB 56, the Parental Notification of Abortion,  was put "on the call" by Governor Martinez.  However HB 75, the Born Alive and Medical Care Act and HB 76 the Partial and Late-Term Abortion Ban were not placed on the call.
 
The 2018 legislative session is a 30-day budget session and the Governor has discretion over what bills are "on the call." This year, Governor Martinez staff communicated that a greater committment from Catholic church leaders and Christian churches is neeeded for the pro-life bills to be placed on the call, as opposed to the level of support given to other issues at the legislature.
 
 URGENT: What You Can Do Today
 
1) Contact the Governor's office: request she place both HB 75, the Born Alive & Medical Care Act and HB 76, the Late-Term Abortion Act on the call at 505-476-2200, emails can be sent here.

2) Ask your pastors, priests and other church leaders to contact the Governor's office and pledge their support for all pro-life legislation and request all pro-life bills to be put on the call. 

3) Contact your legislator to support HB 56. Find out who your state legislators are here.

BIG Pro-Life Victory + Legislative Update, With Your Help We Can Win Big in 2018

1/8/2018

2018 is here and we're ready for the new year! We had a number of pro-life victories in 2017, but we need your help to make 2018 a greater success. Find out below how you can help!

Pro-Life Victory!
The scandal-ridden research program using aborted baby body parts at UNM Health Sciences Center (HSC) has been shut down. UNM's top fetal tissue researcher Dr. Robin Ohls was suspended and barred from her lab after she transferred baby body parts to a Michigan company and asked for money to pay her lab assistant. This was a potential violation of federal law (USC 42-289g2) and is in conflict with UNM HSC's past denial that there were unethical or unlawful practices.
Picture

NMAFL was the first to expose Ohls' grisly research and questionable practices including studies using eyes from aborted babies, heart vessels from 57 babies, and more. This contradicts Attorney General Hector Balderas' refusal to prosecute claims on behalf of New Mexico women based on insufficient evidence. [Read more here]

2017 in Review 
We've had many successes in New Mexico this year, a few of the highlights for the pro-life movement have been:
  • We exposed Planned Parenthood funneling abortion industry money into the Albuquerque mayor's race
  • A district court judge ruled invalid consent form between UNM Health Sciences Center (HSC) and Southwestern Women's Options (SWO)
  • Successfully worked with Congressmen Blackburn and Pearce to get FBI and DOJ investigation of UNM HSC and SWO.

BREAKING: UNM Researcher Suspended Over Fetal Tissue Transfers - Immediate FBI Investigation Needed

1/5/2018

2 Comments

 

Yesterday evening the Albuquerque Journal published a story after receiving an internal memo from the University of New Mexico (UNM) revealing that top fetal tissue researcher Dr. Robin Ohls was suspended and barred from her lab. Ohls used baby body parts acquired from Southwestern Women's Options (SWO) and transferred them to a Michigan company.
 
News on the suspension of Ohls comes on the heels of New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas' refusal to prosecute criminal referrals from the Select Panel on Infant Lives investigation of UNM and SWO. Balderas' inaction leaves it to federal prosecutors to pursue justice and prosecute law-breakers.    
 
Corruption and Coverup  
"For two years, UNM HSC officials misled the public and protected the lawbreakers in the midst of systemic violations of laws and regulations," said Elisa Martinez, NMAFL executive director. "UNM HSC officials have attempted to conceal the suspension of Robin Ohls, in order to mislead the public and pretend nothing is going on. The entire system is corrupted under the leadership of Chancellor Paul Roth who should also be removed immediately."
 
The suspension of Robin Ohls highlights the immediate need for the FBI to investigate and Jeff Sessions to prosecute UNM and SWO. Ohls' solicitation of a private company for money in exchange for body parts raises additional concerns about UNM Health Sciences Center's (HSC) compliance with the law. The New Mexico Alliance for Life (NMAFL) calls on the FBI to take immediate steps to obtain all documents and investigate the ongoing multiple violations between UNM HSC and SWO.
  
Less than a month ago, while Dr. Robin Ohls was suspended,
UNM HSC's spokesperson, Alex Sanchez knowingly misled the public, claiming, "As we have previously stated, we have trained and instructed staff and faculty to conduct their research in compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations and laws and in accordance with the highest ethical standards."
 

UNM's own investigation and subsequent suspension of Dr. Robin Ohls substantiates the work of NMAFL along with the congressional Select Panel on Infant Lives, identifying multiple violations of the law between UNM HSC and SWO in harvesting infant body parts for research.  
 

In 2015, UNM HSC were forced to disband residency rotations at SWO after NMAFL investigated the relationship between UNM HSC and SWO harvesting fetal tissue for research.

BREAKING: Statement on NM Attorney General Refusal to Prosecute Fetal Tissue Harvesting In NM

1/4/2018

0 Comments

 

ALBUQUERQUE: Today, New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas sent a letter to the congressional Select Panel on Infant Lives stating there was insufficient evidence to indicate any violation of state law in regard to the relationship between UNM Health Sciences Center and Southwestern Women's Options.
 
Statement by NM Alliance for Life executive director Elisa Martinez:
 
"This is a pathetic attempt by Hector Balderas to hide his malpractice as the Attorney General, in failing to prosecute over 100 viable cases within the statute of limitations. We already have a New Mexico District Court stating these same civil cases he failed to prosecute are indeed viable and prosecutable, based on the evidence on its face in violation of NM statute. It is shameful and disgusting that he isn't prosecuting the law on behalf of New Mexico women and by not even bothering to contact the victims, he chose to trust the lawbreakers over trusting women."
 
Statement from Michael Seibel, Albuquerque attorney currently representing New Mexico victims suing Southwestern Women's Options in NM District Court: 
 
I don't know a single attorney who would issue a non-prosecution letter without talking to the victim, investigating the facts, or indicting a single person, what Hector Balderas did is not justice but rather protecting political special interests,"  said Michael Seibel, an attorney currently representing New Mexico victims suing Southwestern Women's Options in NM District Court.
 
"My clients are committed to aggressively pursuing Southwestern Women's Options and /or the University of New Mexico in order to protect the rights of women to fully informed consent as required by law."  

The New Mexico Alliance for Life is a nonpartisan organization focused on changing state and local laws by empowering women with better and informed choices when facing unplanned or difficult pregnancies and advocating for better protections for women and unborn children from an unsafe abortion industry.
