Abortion Free New Mexico (AFNM) is sounding the alarm as abortion tourism into New Mexico reaches unprecedented levels, driven in large part by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and other state leaders who have aggressively expanded abortion access while dismantling safeguards, oversight, and accountability.
As a result, New Mexico has become a national destination for unregulated, high-volume abortions, drawing women and minors from across the country—often without parental knowledge, without medical transparency, and without any meaningful state monitoring to ensure patient safety.

A Crisis of Oversight
New Mexico is now the only state in the region where abortion facilities:
* Receive no regular health or safety inspections
* Operate with no state licensing requirements* Are not required to report abortion complications, minors served, or follow-up care
This regulatory vacuum has created what Abortion Free New Mexico describes as a public safety and human rights crisis.
More Than 50 Documented Abortion Injuries — Including One Death
Since 2010, Abortion Free New Mexico has documented more than 50 abortion-related injuries, including one confirmed patient death, using 911 records, eyewitness testimony, and confidential informants.
Documented injuries include:
* Hemorrhage requiring emergency transport
* Uterine perforation
* Respiratory distress under sedation
* Sepsis
* Incomplete abortions requiring emergency surgery
* A fatal late-term abortion complication
The most recent documented abortion-related injury occurred on September 14, 2025, involving a Texas woman injured at a New Mexico Planned Parenthood facility.
Details of that incident are available here: https://www.abortionfreenm.com/news/state-of-emergency-texas-woman-injured-at-new-mexico-planned-parenthood
A full list of documented cases and highlights is available at: https://www.abortionfreenm.com/abortion-risks.html
AFNM emphasizes that these cases represent only the injuries that can be independently verified, as New Mexico collects no official data on abortion complications.
Minors Receiving Abortions Without Parental Notification
New Mexico law allows minors from any state to undergo abortions—including late-term procedures—without parental notification or involvement.
Combined with abortion tourism, this policy has resulted in:
* Transport of minors across state lines
* Medical procedures performed in secrecy
* No legal, medical, or ethical accountability
* No mandatory reporting of potential sexual abuse
Abortion Free New Mexico is calling for:
* A federal investigation into New Mexico’s abortion industry
* Congressional review of interstate abortion 8 trafficking
Mandatory parental involvement protections * National abortion complication reporting requirements
* Mandatory licensing and inspections of abortion facilities
* Criminal investigations of facilities that endanger women or minors
Tara Shaver, spokeswoman for Abortion Free New Mexico, issued the following statement:
“New Mexico has become the nation’s unregulated abortion haven, and the result has been a trail of injured women, exploited minors, and a state government that refuses to acknowledge the crisis it created. Abortion tourism is not compassion—it’s a pipeline funneling vulnerable women and girls into facilities that operate without oversight, without inspections, and without consequences. New Mexicans deserve better, and the women brought here from across the country deserve protection, not political exploitation.”
“New Mexico has become a magnet for dangerous, unregulated abortion practices—because the system was intentionally built that way. Women are being injured, trafficked across state lines, and left with life-threatening complications while the clinics responsible face zero accountability. This is a political crisis, a medical crisis, and a human rights crisis wrapped into one.”
ABORTION FREE NEW MEXICO RELEASED A MORE COMPREHESIVE — ABORTION TOURISM & SAFETY CRISIS DATA SHEET: READ THE FULL SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
“Southwestern Women’s Options, UNM, Planned Parenthood, and Whole Woman’s Health operate in New Mexico without a single state inspection. Women have been injured- with one confirmed patient DEATH, minors have been transported, and leaders like Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham pretend nothing is happening. This is a manufactured crisis—and we’re exposing every part of it.” — Tara Shaver, Abortion Free New Mexico

Let me guess, they will blame it on anti-abortion laws?
Most likely.
Heartbreaking.
1 woman killed and over 50 injured? What about the deaths of the aborted children?
These women are vile, traveling to New Mexico to murder their unborn child. Sodom & Gomorrah much?
