The radical SB 30—which seeks to conceal abortion reporting from taxpayers forced to fund the abortion industry at nearly $50 MILLION since 2024—has been fast-tracked by pro-abortion legislators and Planned Parenthood allies. Despite the fact that 59% of New Mexicans want more abortion restrictions, not less, SB 30 is being fast-tracked by pro-abortion legislators.

“Pro-abortion sponsor of SB 30, Senator Peter Wirth claims abortion is singled out for reporting by the state, but in reality, taxpayers are singled out—forced against their convictions to fund a 98% elective procedure used as birth control, with costs now exceeding $50 million since 2021,” said Elisa Martinez executive director of New Mexico Alliance for Life. “No other elective medical procedure gets a $50 million taxpayer blank check with zero accountability. Follow the money back to the campaign coffers of pro-abortion politicians.”
New Mexico Alliance for Life has exposed taxpayers have already poured out an estimated:
- $30 million: reoccurring operational funding for abortion centers since 2021.
- $20 million: state-sponsored abortion centers in Doña Ana County & northern NM.
- $10 million: Medicaid funding elective abortions including out-of-state women.
Whisked through the Senate Judiciary Committee with little debate, the bill passed on a strict party-line vote. Republican Sens. Crystal Brantley, Jim Townsend and Pat Boone highlighted the lack of transparency, while co-sponsor Sen. Cindy Nava delivered an incoherent lecture on a woman’s “right” to abortion. SB 30 repeals Section 24-14-18 NMSA 1978—the state’sonly mandatory reporting requirement for induced abortions. The bill has been fast-tracked to the Senate floor for a vote this week, as early as today Monday, February 9, 2026. Watch the Senate Floor debate here under webcast and Senate Floor.
New Mexico Alliance for Life submitted a comprehensive amendment to the Democrat controlled Senate Judiciary Committee, which explicitly requests amendment submission–but was entirely ignored. For two years in a row, NMAFL’s Elisa Martinez’s testimony was skipped over in Senate Judiciary committee by the contentious chair, Sen. Joseph Cervantes. The amendment would have ensured full reporting and transparency for taxpayers and the public on abortion procedures, outcomes, and costs.
Even abortion-related deaths are often reclassified as “natural” or “pregnancy-related’ rather than abortion related—as in the tragic case of Keisha Atkins, who died during an elective late-term abortion. Her death was deceptively determined by University of Mexico’s Office of the Medical Investigator as “pulmonary thromboembolism due to pregnancy.” If the mandatory reporting on abortion complications is removed by SB 30, there is little to no avenue for any public inquiry and disclosure of injuries and deaths–unless an injured woman files a lawsuit against the abortionist.

FACTS ON SB 30 REPORTING OF INDUCED ABORTIONS
– Repeals the only dedicated abortion reporting law in New Mexico’s vital statistics statutes (Section 24-14-18 NMSA 1978), eliminating mandatory submission of procedure data to the state registrar.
– Taxpayers forced to fund it all—nearly **$50 million** since 2021, including **$20 million** for two state-sponsored abortion clinics and millions in Medicaid reimbursements for elective procedures.
– 98% elective abortions—used primarily as birth control, yet New Mexicans are compelled to pay despite 59% wanting more restrictions, not less.
– Over 50 documented medical emergencies from one Albuquerque clinic (Southwestern Women’s Options), including ambulance transports for complications—public records obtained by New Mexico Alliance for Life. [https://www.nmallianceforlife.org](https://www.nmallianceforlife.org)
– Hides potential malpractice and harm—including the preventable death of Keisha Atkins in 2017 (late-term abortion complications leading to a $1.26 million wrongful death settlement against the clinic and UNM).
– Abortion industry groups track procedures through “highly political/subjective” voluntary reporting—yet no independent, mandatory public oversight remains.
– Despite Planned Parenthood claims, there is NO right to privacy on abortion reporting when taxpayers are forced to fund nearly $50 million—transparency is essential for accountability.
This fast-tracked repeal is not about provider safety—it’s about concealing the scale, risks, and costs of taxpayer-funded abortions from the public.

Positive pro-life momentum: SB 206, statewide safe haven baby box legislation, was introduced January 30, 2026, by Sen. David M. Gallegos (R) and co-sponsors Rex Wilson, William E. Sharer, Gabriel Ramos, and Jay C. Block. The bill finally clarifies anonymous relinquishment in baby boxes, grants immunity to installers, and meets federal tribal rules—overcoming years of confusion. For 4–5 years, pro-abortion Democrats have killed or stalled similar life-saving measures, despite bipartisan support and proven results (13 boxes in place, 4 infants safely surrendered). SB 30’s fate now lies with the Senate Judiciary Committee—while we push forward life-affirming bills like SB 206.
