This week, the abortion up-to-birth group NARAL endorsed far-left Democrat U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez (NM-CD-02) for a second term, along with other “frontline” Democrats who face tough reelection prospects.

The group’s president Mini Timmaraju wrote in a statement, “We’re proud to endorse this slate of leaders as the first endorsements of our 2024 electoral program. Ensuring they are reelected is essential to taking back the U.S. House of Representatives and moving one step closer to passing into law legislation that will protect and expand reproductive freedom (abortion).”

The only way for a candidate to receive the radical group’s endorsement is by being 100 percent pro-abortion, meaning no limits whatsoever on abortion procedures — a stance that is far outside of the beliefs of average New Mexicans and Americans in general.

A recent Albuquerque Journal poll found that 59 percent of New Mexicans support some abortion limits, while Vasquez, who represents a district he only won by 0.7 percent, backs full-term abortion.

To double down on his extremist stance, Vasquez wrote on Twitter Sunday to commemorate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade’s reversal, “[Abortion] is health care. On the anniversary of the end of Roe v. Wade, I’m recommitting to fight for reproductive care for all women across the US.”

Vasquez faces fierce Republican competition from former U.S. Rep. Yvette Herrell, who has the backing of many big names, including U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Vasquez was elected to replace Pub representative Yvette Herrell. Her loss was by several thousand votes, mainly due to the district's gerrymandering by the all Dem legislature that placed conservative voters in SE New Mexico's oil patch in with Santa Fe progressives and Navajo Tribe voters in NW New Mexico. Also causing her to lose was the lack of many Pub voters remaining in NM-2 voting in the 2022 mid-terms.

Homosexual male opposes babies being born. Who could have predicted that?

They are doing a fantastic job of ruining this state. Watching Michelle in action makes you wish that we had Toney back.

Just a reminder folks. Abortion up to birth is in effect a compromise half measure. Settling for what they can get for now.

Infanticide after birth is already being mooted among academic "ethicists". The big question is the cutoff age.

A Fetus can feel pain after 12 weeks and it’s OK with these people to go into the womb and cut off it’s arms and legs.

If that was happening to puppies they would be enraged!
