New Mexico Democrats seek repeal of outdated abortion ban

SANTA FE, N.M. — Democrats in the New Mexico Legislature are preparing plans to ensure legal, safe access to abortions in case regulation of the procedure is returned to states.

State Rep. Joanne Ferrary of Las Cruces said she plans to introduce legislation for the next session that removes the state’s criminal ban on abortion in case the U.S. Supreme Court overturns a 1973 decision that made the procedure legal nationwide. She said her cause has taken on new urgency with the addition of Republican-appointed justices under President Donald Trump.

A 1969 New Mexico statute made it a felony for an abortion provider to terminate a pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, birth defects and serious threats to a woman’s health. The law has been unenforceable for 45 years because of the high court’s ruling.

With the DemocRATS in full control of both the state legislature and the governor's office, they want to remove all protection for the unborn in case Roe v. Wade is overturned. The article states that the legislation has the full support of NM House and Senate leaders and the new Rat governor and repeal is set as a high priority for the 60-day legislative session in January.

safe legal rare is a lie

Democrats oppose reporting of botched abortions and proximity to hospitals and obtaining admission privileges.

Democrats in government shielded Gossnell from investigation, review, and prosecution for years.

And the Left is proud of women like Whoopi Goldberg who claims to have had 7 abortions.

[Rurudyne]

This is a shameful thing these Leftist do.

[Fungi]

The same dyslexic, fool Whoopi who once said: “I wish my mom had had an abortion,” as if it was a sacrament. What guy would go near this woman is beyond me. Her mother should have had one, we would not be putting up with her idiocy now.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Can’t blame them. They’re the majority. Save your ammo. The best we can hope for is to turn the issue back to the states. Abortion will never be illegal. Nuff said.

[tomkat]

It’s only shameful for those with the capacity for shame remaining in them.
95% of the totalitarian Left have no such capacity.

If the DemonRATs want an appeal of New Mexico’s abortion ban, I say that new legislation should be passed that requires any unwanted child be given a trial by jury to determine if the child should be aborted. Judicial findings should include a video using a laparoscopic camera to show the baby whose existence is under judgement.

Demonrats murder babies. May the Lord of armies deal with them, ever so severely.

The issue will not be sent back to the states as long as Roberts is Chief Justice unless Trump replaces 2 of the Rat Judges.

“New Mexico Democrats seek repeal of outdated abortion ban”

Didn’t click on the link, but is that the actual headline?

Because if it is, that is editorializing in a supposed “news” article.

Real journalists avoid all opinionated adjectives like “outdated” in this headline. That’s what I learned in a Journalism 101 class almost 30 years ago.

[Tilting]

Pro Abortionists would have you think childbearing is an inconvenience with abortions being healthy for women and every woman should have 4 or 5 abortions in a lifetime. Idiots.

[NorthMountain]

The demonicRAT Party exhibits an obscene lust for death.
