Advertisements in Sunday’s Austin American-Statesman, Dallas Morning News, and Fort Worth Star-Telegram invite pro-abortion Texas medical professionals to consider relocating to New Mexico due to Texas’ life-affirming laws that protect women, babies in the womb, and medical professionals.
These taxpayer-funded ads feature an open letter from far-left, pro-abortion Democrat New Mexico Gov. Lujan Grisham, urging pro-abortion Texas doctors to move to New Mexico if they are unable to practice under Texas’ life-affirming laws. Similar advertisements have appeared in the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News.
“I know that legal restrictions on healthcare in Texas have created a heavy burden for medical practitioners—especially those of you now barred by law from providing the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare,” the letter states. “It must be distressing that a draconian abortion ban has restricted your right to practice and turned it into a political weapon.”
Additionally, six billboards with the message “free to provide” have been placed around the Houston Medical Center, encouraging medical professionals to relocate to New Mexico.
In her letter, Grisham emphasizes that New Mexico lawmakers are “fiercely committed to protecting medical freedoms here and we’re taking steps to ensure that what happened in Texas never happens in New Mexico.”
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Texas passed a law protecting life in the womb, with exceptions. This law has led to a 99.89% decrease in abortions in the state. Multiple legal challenges have been filed, but the Texas Supreme Court rejected one such lawsuit in May.
Abortion remains legal up to the date of birth in New Mexico. Recently, Gov. Grisham has taken steps to push for Texans to abort their young in New Mexico, including legislation firming up the state’s pro-abortion up-to-birth laws.

New Mexico sure isn’t the same place I moved to 30 years ago. Right after we arrived, Gary Johnson got elected governor.

Texas would be much better off without them. Hope a wealthy conservative adds to the incentive pot.
Sad to see it happen to NM, but at least it’ll help get some trash out of Texas.
MLG is fortunate to be allowed to use taxpayer money to feed babies to Ba’al, to please her true master, Satan.
