Officer Ryan and Mrs. Rebecca Holets Honored in Santa Fe

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.  

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."

Last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNM HSC) and Southwestern Women's Options (SWO) are under criminal investigation by the FBI. In a letter to Congressman Steve Pearce dated December 7th, the DOJ said, "We can confirm that the Criminal Investigative Division of the FBI Headquarters has received this information, including the two referrals made to the New Mexico Attorney General regarding practices of the UNM HSC and SWO, and sent the materials to the relevant FBI field offices for review and any action deemed appropriate.

The federal action on this referral is a result of our investigations, work with the Select Panel on Infant Lives and partnership with Congressmen Blackburn and Pearce. Read more below. 
 
Earlier reports indicated that only Planned Parenthood was under investigation by the FBI. Late Friday afternoon, Congressmen Marsha Blackburn and Steve Pearce received confirmation from the DOJ that all fifteen criminal referrals sent out by the Congressional Select Panel on Infant Lives are being investigated by the FBI. 
 
"We are thankful that the findings from our work with the Select Panel on Infant Lives are now being investigated by the Department of Justice before the statute of limitations runs out," said Elisa Martinez Executive Director of New Mexico Alliance for Life. "These are serious violations of the law where baby body parts were treated like commodities, women were deceived for years and nobody has held the abortion industry accountable, including New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas. It's time for women, babies, and taxpayers to receive some justice and lawbreakers to be held accountable, whether they are abortionists, researchers or university officials, no one is above the law."   
 
In a statement, Congressman Steve Pearce said, "I applaud today's action by Attorney General Jeff Session to take up the criminal referrals in New Mexico regarding violations made by the University of New Mexico (UNM) and the Southwestern Women's Options (SWO)."  
 
Last month U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions was asked about these criminal referrals under FBI investigation and stated, "Verifying the findings of the Congress could provide a basis for charges." 

                                                                                                                                
Background 
 
New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas received 1st criminal referral on June 23, 2015. Balderas received 2nd criminal referral on Dec. 21, 2015. Federal prosecutors cite "systemic violations" of law between UNM HSC and SWO in both referrals. Balderas has not contacted victim cited in 2nd criminal referral, Jessica Duran and others. Criminal claims will continue to expire, over 100 claims have already, due to the statute of limitations to prosecute until Balderas issues a criminal complaint. Expiring claims include the illegal harvesting of eyes, brains, hearts, and even skin from aborted infants 16 weeks gestation through 22 weeks.
 
Despite overwhelming evidence in his possession since last year, including an admission of guilt from SWO abortionist, Balderas has yet to file a criminal complaint (indictment). Read more.  

"This is a huge step that we hope will result in prosecutions for those who broke the law and bring justice for the women who have been abused and hurt and the children whose lives were ended," said Elisa Martinez, NMAFL executive director.
