In 2023, approximately 70% of the estimated 21,000 abortions performed in New Mexico were on patients who traveled from Texas to kill their unborn babies, according to a study by the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion research organization.
This means that about 14,200 Texas babies were killed in the womb in New Mexico, marking a tragic influx since the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Texas law protects life in the womb unless the life or health of the mother is at risk.
The increase in abortions in New Mexico has been dramatic, with a more than 260% rise since 2020. Many attribute this rise to Texas’ pro-life laws. Additionally, around 400 patients traveled from Oklahoma and Arizona for abortions.
The percentage of out-of-state abortion “patients” in New Mexico surged from 38% in 2020 to 71% in 2023, the highest proportion in the country. This influx demonstrates the extreme lengths to which individuals will go to kill the babies in their wombs, a stark reality that highlights the tragic loss of unborn lives.
Each month, about 1,610 abortions are performed in New Mexico, with the number exceeding 2,000 in March 2023 alone. Nationally, the New York Times reported that 171,000 patients traveled out of their home states for abortions in 2023, indicating a widespread movement driven by restrictive state laws.

Instead of hiring a hit man to come in from out of state to slay the victim, they’re taking the victim out of state to the hit man.
Was expecting Morganna.
Folks,
Yes, some went to the neighboring states, they were going to anyway.
It is like a lock on the door. It won’t stop a career criminal but it will stop someone who was thinking about it or was tempted.
We’re gonna see statistics like this until a national ban on this despicable barbaric practice is done away with.
So, 14,000 instead of 50,000. I’ll take it.
Why is new mexico so liberal. Doesn’t make sense to me.
The bus ride is several hundred bucks. All told, about $1K, including transportation. Unless the government foots maternity costs ($5K and up), it’s gonna be hard to get women to go through with an unwanted pregnancy. One option is to imprison women who go out of state for abortions. But politically-speaking, that might not work out for the GOP.
Large minority population and people living below the poverty line. A lot of people living there that work for the government. Poor education. Nothing ever seems to get better, but they keep voting for the same thing, just like a lot of other places. It almost makes you want to believe that the system is rigged.
They aren’t Texas babies if they were murdered in New Mexico.
Damn, New Mexican abortion big numbers have surpassed the number of elementary school mass murders by public school classmates.
Central and northern New Mexico (ABQ/Santa Fe) is full of liberal-to- radical so-called "progressives," lots of native-Americans (pueblos, Navajo, Apache reservations) and poor Hispanics. Anglo's are a minority in the state. NM is #50 in all the national ratings (education, welfare, health, etc.
The industry they love to hate is oil and natural gas; revenues make up about 50% of state income (NM is #2 behind Texas for production), but they keep trying to regulate it out of existence for "climate change" reasons. The SE NM economy is booming, drilling, production together with associated service company jobs, many occupied by Hispanics (some no doubt illegal). Without O&G all NM has for income are the national labs, marijuana and tourism.
Ping for you list.
States rights issue, so if NM wants to be a slaughterhouse, then it can.
