Dems in House Consumer & Public Affairs Committee table Pro-life Legislation  Sunday, Democrat members of the House Consumer & Public Affairs Committee voted down HB 220 and HB 221 in 3-2 party line votes. HB 220 would protect women and infants from dangerous late-term abortions, while HB 221 would require that a young woman notify her parent before having an abortion. (More photos and updates below). Expert witness Maryrose Turner MD, testified in support of HB 220 and demonstrated a dismemberment D & E abortion on infants up to 24 weeks, "What is the baby feeling during this procedure? It is well established in the medical literature that babies by 20 weeks gestation have developed pain receptors. It has been the standard of care for decades for premature infants to receive pain relief during procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit." "In fetal surgery for conditions such as urinary system blockage, hydrocephalus, or congenital diaphragmatic hernia, the mother must receive general anesthesia so that the baby is also sufficiently anesthetized for the operation. Dr. Turner also said, "By New Mexico's animal cruelty statute, [the late-term abortion] procedure is considered inhumane. You must understand how a second trimester abortion is performed, and judge if that is also inhumane."  Denae Romero, mother of baby Anica (above), also spoke in favor of HB 220 and described herself as speaking on behalf of thousands, "I stand before you with what we are talking about and what we are fighting for," said mother of baby Anneka motioning to her daughter, "It's not within our right to make that decision. Faith aside, science aside, we owe [babies] the right, as human beings, to have a shot to live. If something happens, something happens, but we should not make that decision. "Because you see these demonstrations on tables and it's just a doll, it's easy because you don't see the blood, you don't see it so its not real," baby Anneka's mother continued, "The numbers and the statistics are not real. This is a baby [holding child] Anneka. Let this be more than numbers. Let this about more than politics. New Mexico is a mess, everything is a mess, please think of Anneka, a baby." Thanks to all expert witnesses including Dr. Turner, Cindy Vandi, RN and ultrasound technician for Care Net of Valencia county. Parental Notification, Abortion and Child Abuse: The Cover Up Continues Thanks to House DemocratsHB 221, the Parental Notification of Abortion included expert witness testimony from Sierra Schroff and Clay Schroff of the Zoe Project, who work with at risk children, including victims of human trafficking, Laura Rosecrans of Surrendered Hearts Abortion Recovery, a survivor of rape and forced abortion as a minor and others. Elisa Martinez, Executive Director for NM Alliance for Life also served as expert witness for HB 221 and read actual cases of child abuse victims taken for abortions: "there are hundreds of reported cases of victims, underage girls brought in for an abortion by the very person who is abusing them, because it covers up the abuse. Hundreds of cases are filed against the abortion clinics, but all too often because of lack of parental consent or notification laws parents may not know what is going on with their child. Local clinics either may not have the resources, or the will, or perhaps they are turning a blind eye to the victims." "We have to start looking at this issue, not through the lens of politics, but through the lens of what is best for our children and what will protect them best from exploitation," said Martinez. "This sexual abuse is happening on a daily basis and parental notification only serves to give these clinics a necessary tool to be able to detect and identify abuse." KOB 4 and KRQE 13 both covered the results of the House CPAC hearings on HB 220 and HB 221. Make sure to weigh in on the comments section of these reports, share this information and help us continue to shed a light on the darkness in our state. Thanks to all our bills sponsors, expert witnesses, the pastors and prayer teams that fought for these common sense protections. Many are inspired by the heartfelt testimony from citizens across the state who witnessed for life yesterday, who, unlike the abortion industry, do not have a financial benefit in this cause. Additionally those who showed up in support of life believe the tide is turning, as more citizens become aware of these atrocities taking place. We at NMAFL are encouraged by your support and concern for women, unborn children, our girls, families and our state. We will not stop fighting until these injustices end.     Historic Praise and Worship in the Rotunda was a huge success! Thanks to Pastor Brian Alarid, Pastor and NM state Rep. David Adkins, Pastor Richard Mansfield, John Robb, Pastor Vince Torres for organizing and all who attended this historic service.

 In a party-line vote Thursday, Democrat members of the House Consumer & Public Affairs Committee voted down HB 37, the Infant Born Alive Protection Act. Public testimony and expert witnesses included the Honorable Lt. Governor John Sanchez, a notable occasion on the House floor. Hearings for HB 220 and 221 were delayed by the Chairman for this Sunday at 10 AM (please attend, more information below). Albuquerque Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nurse, Monique Ramirez, works with premature infants and served as an expert witness for HB 37: "These babies have just experienced a very traumatic event and are still alive. Shouldn't that tell you something? That obviously this baby is meant to be alive and full resuscitation should take place and all efforts should be given to this baby to help this baby survive." "If these late abortion survivors are not given proper resuscitation, the next thing we can provide for these babies would be palliative care, by making their last moments of life as comfortable as possible," Ramirez said, "Even if this is simply to hold the baby while they take their last breath so the last thing that baby feels is love, which we all know is a beautiful thing. Working in an intensive care unit, not all these stories have a happy ending, but we do our best to make the death process a pain-free experience for the baby. They're given some sedation so that they are calm and relaxed; then they are held as we take out their breathing tubes so that love is the last thing they feel. I don't know about you, but I hope that I am surrounded by love as I take my last breath here on earth." Despite heart-wrenching testimony from Monique Ramirez and countless others, the Democrat committee members coldly voted down this humane, life-saving measurer--thereby continuing the cycle of abuse and neglect of infants who survive abortions in our state. A big thanks to our bill sponsors Rep. Rod Montoya, Rep. David Gallegos and all who attended. Upset? You can do something about it: join us on Sunday and help us hold these leaders accountable.  Don't Miss It! Late-Term Ban and Parental Notification of Abortion Hearings on SundayHCPAC Chairman Eliseo Alcon also postponed the public hearings for HB 220 the Late Term Abortion Ban and HB 221 Parental Notification of Abortion, disregarding expert witness and others who took time off work to testify. The hearings are now scheduled for Sunday at 10 a.m. Get your FACT SHEETS HERE for both bills and be prepared to give your testimony in support of both bills. COME WORSHIP IN THE ROTUNDA!This Sunday March 5th at 9 a.m., New Mexico Prays, will be holding a special worship service in the Rotunda at the New Mexico state Capitol. Pastor Brian Alarid who will lead the inter-denominational service encourages the pro-life community to attend the church service, then attend the House Consumer & Public Affairs Hearings for HB 220 Partial and Late-Term Abortion Ban and HB 221 Parental Notification of Abortion. See you Sunday!
Thursday: Three Major Pro-Life Bills to Be Heard |
 Rep. Rod Montoya (R- Farmington) |  Rep Dennis Roch (R- Logan) |
"There is absolutely zero accountability at UNM Health Sciences," said Representative David Gallegos, "UNM's refusal to give an open and honest accounting of their abortion, research and procurement practices to state and congressional legislators is appalling."
"Dr. Roth and his staff, while stiff-arming us for records requests that we needed to exercise proper oversight, at the same time as a member of the appropriations committee I was receiving requests from UNM, for increased funding in a lot of their areas, "said Representative Dennis Roch, "They certainly didn't mind talking to legislators about their need for dollars, but they certainly wouldn't give us any answers when we had questions about their ethical practices."

Select Panel on Infant Lives Final Report:
Infants Left to Die at UNM Hospital and Southwestern Women's Options
Lack of Medical Training and Knowledge of Law by UNM's Top Abortionist and OB-GYN Department Chair, Dr. Eve Espey
NMAFL has issued the following press release regarding the Select Panel on Infant Lives final report. Please stay tuned for more detailed analysis and what you can do to help!
ALBUQUERQUE, NM: The congressional Select Panel on Infant Lives has issued its final report (see relevant pages below), with a detailed account including violations of criminal law and women's rights by University of New Mexico (UNM) and Southwestern Women's Options (SWO) late-term abortion business. The report is substantiated by numerous documents and testimony from abortion doctors at both the u
niversity and the abortion clinic.
The horrific details of the report include an admission by UNM abortionist and OB-GYN Department Chair Dr. Eve Espey of infants born alive during abortions at UNM Hospital, and that neither she nor students are trained on what to do when this occurs. A Southwestern Women's Options abortionist trained by Espey also admitted there were cases of infants born alive during induced abortions, and likewise no measures were taken to resuscitate or offer care.
According to the report, when Espey was read the language of the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act and asked if she agreed with it, she responded, "I'm not familiar with the law." She admitted she never discussed the law with counsel and did not "understand the relevance of this to my practice."
"The admissions of UNM abortionist and OB-GYN Dept. Chair Eve Espey, is shocking, and is only outdone by her willful ignorance of the law," said New Mexico Alliance for Life Executive Director Elisa Martinez. "Imagine an infant in an abortion clinic without food, without care, defenseless, confused, crying and grasping for life - being left alone to die on its own. It's almost too difficult to imagine, but this is the reality taking place at UNM Hospital and Southwestern Women's Options, confirmed by testimony from the abortionists themselves."
The former chief of obstetric anesthesiology at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Rep. Harris, challenged one of the doctors at SWO, who admitted she was not performing Apgar scores to assess for signs of life, and infants were not being routinely checked for a heartbeat. The SWO doctor stated, "I haven't thought about this," despite admitting cases of infants exiting the womb spontaneously during an abortion under her care.
The Panel also raised concerns about the systematic violations of informed consent laws. The report cites testimony by an SWO doctor who trained at UNM under Espey, that she had never consented a woman regarding fetal tissue donation, was unfamiliar with the consent form provided to the Panel, and did not know the informed consent law.
"Students under Espey's instruction are not even being taught the basic informed consent laws as well as how to care for infants born alive during abortions that occur in the third trimester," said Martinez. "The shining example of the lack of proper medical education under Dr. Espey at UNM is highlighted by her former student and current Southwestern Women's Options abortionist's testimony, who admits total ignorance of laws and practices in her field. How many other students at UNM are being improperly trained by Dr. Espey and potentially violating the law as well?"
New Mexico Alliance for Life (NMAFL) urges state and federal officials to act as Congress has issued this final report and a second criminal referral last month, for the University of New Mexico (UNM) and Southwestern Women's Options (SWO) to New Mexico's Attorney General Hector Balderas for prosecution.
Portions of the report regarding UNM and Southwestern Women's Options can be found on pages 231- 258 (consent laws and other violations) and 292 - 296 (infants born alive).

Breaking: Congress Issues Second Criminal Referral for UNM and Southwestern Women's Options
12/22/2016
BREAKING: SECOND CRIMINAL REFERRAL ISSUED BY CONGRESS FOR UNM HSC, SOUTHWESTERN WOMEN'S OPTIONS
NMAFL Provides Documents to Panel, Urges State Leaders to Act
Late yesterday, Congress has issued a second criminal referral for the University of New Mexico (UNM) and Southwestern Women's Options (SWO) to New Mexico's Attorney General Hector Balderas for prosecution, New Mexico Alliance for Life (NMAFL) urges state and federal officials to act. NM leaders copied in to the criminal referral: Governor Susana Martinez, Lt. Governor John Sanchez, Congressman Steve Pearce.
Yesterday's criminal referral is now the SECOND CRIMINAL REFERRAL this year by the House Select Panel on Infant Lives against both UNM and SWO, and again, used the results of information submitted by NMAFL. The Panel's referral evidences taxpayer-funded UNM Health Sciences Center and the nation's largest ate-term abortion business of violating multiple laws including federal statute and regulation but also NM statute; the Maternal, Fetal and Infant Experimentation Act, cited in a lawsuit filed by Jessica Duran earlier this month. (see more below).
"New Mexico leaders and Attorney General Hector Balderas can no longer ignore these serious, multiple violations of law and women's rights, cited by Congress--they must uphold their duty to hold both Southwestern Women's Options and the University of New Mexico accountable to the law," said NMAFL Executive Director Elisa Martinez. "As we have shown in our year-long investigation, women have suffered from this unethical and possible illegal partnership. We are grateful that Congress was able to use our work to hold the University of New Mexico, in collaboration with Southwestern Women's Options accountable to the taxpayers, but more must be done by our state leaders."

DEMAND ACTION: INCOMPETENCE AT HIGHEST LEVELS AT UNM HSC
WHERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY?
"This is an epidemic of incompetence at the highest levels at UNM Health Sciences Center," said NMAFL's Martinez. "It is no wonder UNM HSC leadership undertook extreme measures to hide information, and outright lie--not only to Congress and NM legislators, but to the public and taxpayers of New Mexico. These individuals at UNMHSC need to be held accountable, starting with Chancellor Paul Roth."
We will be launching a unified initiative to get NM leaders to hold UNM HSC and Southwestern accountable, stay tuned for details and MORE BIG NEWS COMING! NMAFL continues to bring results from the front lines of this battle and will continue to fight-- but we cannot continue without your help.

Jessica Duran is the patient referenced in the panel's referral. Her lawsuit against SWO was filed in Second Judicial District Court, and includes 8 counts of wrongdoing and negligence. From not providing her a legally valid consent, according to the NM Maternal, Fetal and Infant Experimentation Act, to deceptive and unfair trade practices along with other violations of the law-- a life that would otherwise be here today, has been ended. Sadly, we know there are more women out there, who's rights were violated by Southwestern Women's Options in their collaboration with UNM HSC. We encourage women who had an abortion at Southwestern Women's Options to contact us at: abortioncomplaint.com, where we can put them in touch with someone to go over their legal rights.
"It is absolutely pathetic that the only person in New Mexico that is taking legal action to hold these people accountable is one of their victims, Jessica Duran," said Martinez. "Attorney General Balderas must act to protect these women and the countless other victims out there."

BREAKING NEWS: Victim Files Lawsuit Against Southwestern Women's Options, Result of NMAFL Investigation
As promised, yesterday New Mexico Alliance for Life (NMAFL) announced our support for a lawsuit filed by Jessica Duran, against Southwestern Women's Options (SWO) late-term abortion business, as a result of our year long investigation. The lawsuit was filed in Second Judicial District Court, and includes 8 counts of wrongdoing and negligence.
As reported by the Albuquerque Journal, "At the time of my abortion, I had no support and I went to a place that was supposed to give me options and choices; a place where women's rights are supposedly respected." Duran stated in an NMAFL press release, " I was deceived when I was in an emotional, vulnerable and desperate state. The very people who advertise they offer women 'the right to choose' at Southwestern Women's Options violated my right to choose."
"I think at that moment, had they informed me I would have snapped that this is a life inside of me, a valuable life," Duran said. "I think I would have, no, I know I would have walked right out of that clinic."

Martinez, Duran, Students for Life of America's Sadé Patterson and Surrendered Hearts Abortion Healing Recovery Ministry's Laura Rosecrans called for SWO to end its practice of harvesting baby body parts from unsuspecting women.
"By the reckless negligence of Southwestern Women's options doctors, in violating a women's right to informed consent in such a serious matter, a human life that would otherwise be here today has been ended," said Martinez. "Jessica and the countless women like her must live with this knowledge every day. To find out their baby's body was used for a research project - after the fact, without their consent, only serves to retraumatize many of these women."

SHOCKING: NM's 20 Year Abortion Rate
Why You Should Vote Pro-Life
We need your help more than ever. New Mexicans must be educated on what leaders running for office in November's election will do, if elected.
Senate Majority leader Michael Sanchez has not only taken campaign cash from the abortion industry but along with fellow Senate Democrats, voted to defeat the late-term abortion ban and other pro-life legislation thereby keeping abortion legal up to the day of birth--for ANY reason. What's worse, is that NMAFL's research of data from the CDC reveals: New Mexico's 20 year abortion rate totals 104,256 innocent human lives taken since 1995-- young people who would be 21 and under...gone. This number is greater than the population of Las Cruces which totals 101,324, our state's 2nd largest city.

EXPOSED: POWER PAC Goes Silent
UNM Abortionist, OB-GYN Dept. Chair Eve Espey Still Donates To Democrats to Influence Elections
UNM abortionist Eve Espey has used her postion to expand abortion in NM Since NMAFL has begun our investigative work exposing the abortion industry's stronghold on our legislative process over two years ago, it appears they have gone into hiding! According to most recent campaign reports, the late-term abortion funded POWER PAC has reported no activity this election cycle.
NMAFL was the first to expose the cycle of injustice: abortionist Eve Espey hosts campaign fundraisers with fellow abortionists to influence NM elections through POWER PAC. Campaign cash is doled out to pro-abortion Democrats like Senators Michael Sanchez who sends pro-life legislation to his "kill committee" stacked with fellow Democrat POWER PAC recipients (all up for re-election): Daniel Ivey Soto (SD 15), Catholics Bill O'Neill (SD 13), Jacob Candelaria (SD 26) and Jerry Ortiz y Pino (SD 12) who all voted against the late-term abortion ban, thereby keeping abortion legal up to the day of birth.
And who benefits? Curtis Boyd's scandal ridden late-term abortion clinic, the UNM Center for Reproductive Health late- term abortion clinic (run by Eve Espey), and of course-- UNM Health Sciences Center who continues to get, an albeit potentially illegal, supply of fresh, custom ordered aborted infants bodies to harvest for research, and even 7 month old brains for dissecting "with summer camp students."

Campaign cash is doled out to pro-abortion Democrats like Senators Michael Sanchez who sends pro-life legislation to his "kill committee" stacked with fellow Democrat POWER PAC recipients (all up for re-election): Daniel Ivey Soto (SD 15), Catholics Bill O'Neill (SD 13), Jacob Candelaria (SD 26) and Jerry Ortiz y Pino (SD 12) who all voted against the late-term abortion ban, thereby keeping abortion legal up to the day of birth.
And who benefits? Curtis Boyd's scandal ridden late-term abortion clinic, the UNM Center for Reproductive Health late- term abortion clinic (run by Eve Espey), and of course-- UNM Health Sciences Center who continues to get, an albeit potentially illegal, supply of fresh, custom ordered aborted infants bodies to harvest for research, and even 7 month old brains for dissecting "with summer camp students."

ANNOUNCING: New Mexico Alliance for Life Voter's Guide &
NM Legislative Tracker
You asked for it, and we're delivering: NMAFL's first Pro-Life Voter's Guide & Legislative Tracker. You may have heard of recent, inaccurate claims about late-term abortion made by Hillary Clinton. The facts don't lie- according to Planned Parenthood's Guttmacher study, most late-term abortions are ELECTIVE, and done for reasons like shaky relationships, women didn't know they were pregnant, financial reasons, and other non-medical reasons. Hillary's claim that most late-term abortions are done for serious, medical reasons, is simply untrue.
Unfortunately, abortion is legal in NM throughout all 9 months of pregnancy, even up to the day of birth, for any reason like those listed. In fact, UNM OB-GYN Department's protocol for late-term abortions is proof-- a baby can survive these horrific procedures, but can also be left to die unattended. Had enough? Its time to elect pro-life leaders, who will start listening to the people instead of the abortion lobby's campaign cash.....it starts with YOU.

UNM HOSPITAL MILL LEVY: BEWARE
UNM Hospital is requesting an additional $95 million New Mexico taxpayer dollars on a 2016 ballot bond issue. In addition to the congressional criminal referral for UNM Health Sciences Center, of which UNM Hospital is under, UNM Hospital performs late-term abortions, and has its own late-term abortion clinic, the UNM Center for Reproductive Health.
Until UNM Health Sciences Center can better manage resources and policies to defend life, NMAFL does not believe UNM Hospital should receive any more taxpayer funding. For more information click here.
