The story of a woman who drove over 700 miles to Albuquerque, New Mexico, intending to obtain an abortion but ultimately choosing life for her unborn child is a powerful testament to the sanctity of life and the impact of compassionate pro-life outreach.
The woman, whose identity remains private, embarked on this long journey from another state, likely from Texas and driven the easy accessibility of abortion in New Mexico, where abortions are legal up to birth. This story highlights the importance of offering support and alternatives to abortion.
Upon arriving in Albuquerque, the woman encountered a group of peaceful, faith-based pro-life advocates outside the abortion facility. These sidewalk counselors, committed to protecting unborn lives, engaged with her in a non-confrontational manner, offering prayers, information about fetal development, and resources for pregnancy support.
Their presence and gentle approach provided a critical moment of reflection for the woman, allowing her to reconsider her initial decision. This interaction exemplifies the pro-life movement’s emphasis on love and dialogue, aiming to inform rather than condemn, and demonstrates how personal connections can influence life-affirming choices.
Here’s more:
According to a statement from the Cherub Initiative, a local pro-life organization, the woman, identified as “Mama M,” arrived at SWO with her aunt after renting a car to make the long journey from Texas. The woman, who was six weeks pregnant, had initially intended to terminate her pregnancy at the facility, one of the few clinics in the nation that performs the latest-term abortions.
“Praise the Lord! Mama M chose life for both herself and her unborn baby because of both teams—the LIFE Runners Albuquerque Chapter and the Cherub Initiative Sidewalk Guardians For Life team!” the organization announced in an email celebrating the news.
Members of the pro-life groups gathered outside SWO for their monthly huddle and prayer outreach. “We began by putting on the full armor of God, being in prayer, public witness, peaceful, law-abiding presence, and doing outreach,” the email explained. When Mama M and her aunt arrived, the teams immediately began reaching out with words of encouragement and offered a “Mommy Hope Bag” filled with gifts and resources to support women choosing life.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
That’s the way it’s done. WTH is wrong with New Mexico? Abortion up to the moment of birth? That’s just plain MURDER!
Thank God
“WTH is wrong with New Mexico? Abortion up to the moment of birth?”
I’d love to know that too.
Fact of the matter is when you abort you are still a mother ... but of a dead baby that you hired others to eliminate. That never ever leaves you. I know two women who had multiple abortions in their 20s and they still grieve and regret it.
Mmmm, sounds fishy. 700 miles? Really? Abortion clinics are everywhere.
When Christians are out in front praying, A LOT of women showing up for appointments DRIVE RIGHT BY and go home.
WE don't know how many, but THEY do.
So show up and pray - you don't have to hold signs or shout, just stand and pray.
"Having done all, stand!" Ephesians 6:13
And THAT'S why Democrats hate pro-life Christians so much.
How long before Governorlissima Lujan has the prayers arrested? They are cutting into her profits.
Would Hollywood make this movie? Probably not.
Yeah. I know a girl who had an abortion at 20. She’s 54 now and still cries every day.
And that is precisely reason Joe Biden was arresting and prosecuting pro life protesters. Biden is a murderous ghoul.
Not everywhere in New Mexcio - YET. The radical left NM legislature passed bills that prohibit local regulation of abortion clinics after several counties and cities passed rules making establishment difficult. Also the legislature funded a clinic in Las Cruces a few years ago and this year passed funding for one in northern New Mexico at a location yet to be determined.
As for distance, from Austin, TX to ABQ is 696 miles. Texas prohibits abortion.
Heartbreaking. Truly.
I cry often for pets we’ve had to euthanize over the last to years. So a baby — your OWN baby — I can’t even imagine. How do people go on after that?

As Mr Hand would say Gee Mr Spicoli. I don’t know.

><
So what if she drove 700 miles? Nothing fishy about it.
There’s certainly nothing fishy about her not murdering her baby.
Thanks, Cedar Dave. She drove 700 miles through Texas because Texas prohibits abortion and abortion clinics certainly aren’t everywhere.
Nothing fishy about this at all.
