Infant Born Alive Bill Hearing in NM House Thursday!

TAKE ACTION: Contact members of the House committee below and prepare to testify in favor of HB 234 (follow tips and instructions below)!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The bill was first introduced in 2016 after a New Mexico Alliance for Life investigation obtained a shocking late-term abortion policy from the University of New Mexico Hospital that indicates newborns may show signs of life. The policy discusses the inhumane abortion procedure after 22 weeks: “the intent is to prevent the delivery of a live-born neonate.” It also explicitly states, “we discuss the possibility that the intended abortus may be born with signs of life,” (see actual policy below).

NMAFL shared these shocking revelations with the congressional Select Panel on Infant Lives that also found abortionists in New Mexico were not checking for signs of life or worse–ignoring them (read more here about our investigation).

TAKE ACTION: HB 234 is scheduled to be heard in the House Consumer & Public Affairs Committee this Thursday, February 13, starting at 1:30 p.m. in Room 317 at the NM State Capitol. Testify in person or via Zoom here.

TIPS for testifying: Be polite and stay on message with these points!

• Newborns born in New Mexico deserve necessary comfort care and medical care regardless of how they come into this world.
• This bill has NOTHING to do with an abortion. Once a baby is born he or she should not be left to die alone!
• There is clear evidence this is happening in New Mexico (you may read from the UNM Hospital policy approved by UNM OBGyn Dept Chair, Dr. Eve Espey below). Read more here.
• UNM Hospital’s head abortionist admits that a baby intended for abortion after 22 weeks can show signs of life — what happens to the baby?

Additionally, HB 185 – The Protection of Women’s Sports Act will be heard as well in the same committee.The bill requires that sports teams be classified as male, female, or coeducational and prohibits biological males from competing in female-designated sports.

“When you look into the eyes of a baby, you’re looking at the eyes of God,” said Archbishop Wester of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe at a mass earlier that day. “To be pro-life is to be pro-God…. every life is a gift from God.”
