Late-Term Abortion Ban Heads to NM House Floor for Full Vote! MORE Work to be Done!

Late-Term Abortion Ban and Parental Notification Bills Pass House Committee, NOW the EFFORT to Pass These Bills Moves to the State Senate!

"If these bills do not pass, New Mexico will continue to have legalized back-alley abortions," Maryrose Turner, MD
Picture
Dr. Mary Rose Turner, MD, (left) expert witness, testified that risk of death is 91 times greater from an abortion after five months of pregnancy than a first trimester abortion. Rep. Cathrynn Brown (right) (R-Carlsbad) voted "YES" for both the Late-Term Abortion Ban & Parental Notification.

PRO-LIFE BILLS PASS HOUSE COMMITTEE.
THE UPHILL BATTLE BEGINS IN SENATE

The New Mexico Alliance for Life thanks the the New Mexico House Judiciary Committee for voting 7-6 to move the Late-Term Abortion Ban (HB390) and Parental Notification (HB391) Bills out of committee and over to the House Floor for a full House vote.  Those voting "YES" were Rep. Zach Cook (R-Ruidoso), Rep. Paul Pacheco (R-ABQ), Rep. David Adkins (R-ABQ), Rep. Cathrynn Brown (R-Carlsbad), Rep. Jim Dines (R-ABQ), Rep. Nate Gentry (R-ABQ), Rep. Terry McMillian (R-ABQ).   Opponents of the bill who voted to keep abortion legal through all nine months of pregnancy include "NO" votes from Rep. Kenny Martinez (D-Grants), Rep. Eliseo Alcon (D-Milan), Rep. Antonio "Moe" Maestas (D-ABQ), Rep. Georgene Louis (D-ABQ), Rep. Gail Chasey (D-ABQ) and Rep. Brian Egolf (D-Santa Fe).
PictureJesse Clifton with Twyla, his daughter diagnosed with Trisomy 18. He said it is disability discrimination to push Late-Term Abortion which discriminates against unborn children with this and similar diagnoses. He said that his daughter has been a blessing and her condition was grossly exaggerated before she was born. Additionally, many times prenatal diagnoses are incorrect and a child is born perfectly fine.
These opponents chose to ignore the fact that according to the CDC, New Mexico has the highest late-term abortion rate in the U.S.  and 42 other states have banned this extreme practice. 

Meanwhile, the opponents of Parental Notification told drawn out, nonsensical "what if" stories and irrelevant, personal accounts from Rep. Eleseo Alcon who used the committee hearings as a platform to lecture everyone about New Mexico's social ills while dismissing the greatest human rights violation occurring in our state-- abortion up to the day of birth. Rep. Kenny Martinez rambled on about troubled youth he came across at the Circle K wandering the 'streets of Grants' as a reason to oppose common sense legislation before him- Parental Notification.  These are the leaders responsible for making life and death decisions in our state. 

New Mexico Alliance for Life praises the House Judiciary Committee for listening to factual data backed up by statistics presented by the New Mexico Alliance for Life Executive Director Elisa Martinez and Legal Counsel James Dory instead of  harrowing tales and unsubstantiated figures to support to defend abortion until the day of birth. We also thank the courageous testimony of the bills' supporters.

We expect the Pro-Life Bills to Pass the Full House but the State Senators NEED to hear from us, ESPECIALLY if you live in their districts. Click on the pictures below.
