Last Thursday, the bill appeared as item 8 on the agenda, but only 6 bills were heard that day. Presumably, the bill should have been re-scheduled for subsequent committee hearings THIS WEEK, but it has been REMOVED or “rolled’ from the schedule entirely.

“This isn’t about abortion—it’s about saving babies who survive it. If one life matters, as we heard during Covid, then this is a human rights fight we can’t ignore,” said New Mexico State Representative Stefani Lord.”Not only should this bill be passed, but at the very least rescheduled for a hearing.”

“Radical pro-abortion Democrats in the legislature, bought and paid for by the abortion lobby are afraid of taking a vote on this critical, life-saving legislation because of overwhelming evidence obtained by New Mexico Alliance for Life that proves this is happening in our own backyard,” said Elisa Martinez executive director of NMAFL.  “It’s absolutely unconscionable and outright evil that innocent babies who survive abortions  are being left to die or worse.” Read more below, see University of New Mexico Hospital policy leaving newborn infants who survive abortions to die.

TAKE ACTION: CONTACT NM HOUSE CONSUMER AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITEE CHAIR, REP. JOANNE FERRARY and VICE CHAIR, ANGELICA RUBIO TO GIVE HB 234 A HEARING:

• Rep. Joanne Ferrary, Chair (D – District 37): 505-986-4844
• Rep. Angelica Rubio, Vice Chair (D – District 35): 505-986-4210

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).

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?
