The UNM Center for Reproductive Health, an unassuming clinic tucked into the back of an office park down the street from the Albuquerque International Sunport, used to be relatively low volume. So much so that those in an abortion provider fellowship program often had to go somewhere else in their second year to get more experience.
That changed once Texas’ Senate Bill 8 went into effect in September 2021, banning abortion after 6-weeks of pregnancy and then again after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
Now all abortions are banned in Texas except for cases in which the procedure is needed to save a pregnant person’s life or “prevent impairment of major bodily function.” there are no exceptions for rape or incest and under Senate Bill 8 anyone can sue abortion providers and those who help a patient get an abortion.
The 10 physicians at the UNM center now see three to five times as many patients as they did previously, Truehart said, and 80% are from Texas. UNM would not provide data on how many abortions it did each month.
The three Planned Parenthood clinics in New Mexico also experienced increases — basically doubling the number of abortion patients they see each month from 115 before Senate Bill 8 to 237 now. Roughly two out of five of the patients are from out of state and most of those are from Texas.
More providers are coming to the state as well and three clinics have moved from other states to New Mexico — including one that opened just last week.
New Mexico has nine clinics throughout Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces and Santa Teresa. Although more providers have been moving to New Mexico, Mansanares, from Planned Parenthood, said there will never be enough.

“ Now all abortions are banned in Texas ”
How wonderful.
Could we ever have believed this could happen in our lifetime?
And other states, too.
And there are people here who oppose Trump.
They will figure out how to market their byproducts/bodyparts to make skin cream or something, then stop whining.

If only there was some way to avoid abortions.
It is certainly a good start.
Now if we could only stop the miasma and stench of socialism, racism, perversion pederasty, child grooming in schools, pedophilia and massive government corruption from overwhelming the country.
I wonder if the people in line for an abortion realize they are in the same line of people that go straight to hell.
The will of the people was overridden several years back on several issues. Late term abortion was one of them. Drivers licenses for illegals was another. The state polled 2/3 to 3/4 against these things but the legislature and Governor didn't care.
That’s a double affront to Christianity, given what the name Las Cruces means.
Lets be honest- nowadays is not very difficult to not get pregnant if you are a responsible adult. So what this boils down to is a womens ability to not have to deal with errors in judgements. Use of abortion as birth control is what it is. Sad.
Of course they are fearful and they should be. These women are about to murder a child and they know it. They just do not want to face the punishment society should apply to them for that murder.
