New Mexico County Becomes First to Establish Itself as Sanctuary for the Unborn

The ordinance requires the county to comply with federal law against the distribution of abortion drugs, such as RU-486, through the mail.

LEA COUNTY, New Mexico (LifeSiteNews) — A county in New Mexico became the first to establish itself as a “sanctuary” for the “unborn,” joining over 60 cities in passing the ordinance. 

“An Ordinance Requiring Compliance With Federal Abortion Laws” passed by a 5-0 vote at the December 8 meeting. Lea County borders Texas and pro-abortion activists see New Mexico as a safe haven for women in states like Texas that have restrictions on abortion.

The ordinance requires the county to comply with federal law against the distribution of abortion drugs, such as RU-486, through the mail.  

“Federal law imposes felony criminal liability on every person who ships or receives abortion pills or abortion-related paraphernalia in interstate or foreign commerce,” the ordinance noted. 

“The state constitution of New Mexico does not and cannot secure a right, privilege, or immunity to act in violation of federal statutes,” the ordinance continued. 

It calls on the current and any future federal prosecutors for New Mexico to enforce the law against mail-order abortions. 

Just last month, city council members in Hobbs, a New Mexico city, passed a similar ordinance

Fighting against protections for the unborn, the state’s governor, Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham, has ordered $10 million to be used to build an abortion facility near the New Mexico-Texas border.

It’s nice to see a county in a southern border state declare itself a sanctuary for the unborn, rather than for illegal alien invaders.

hard to believe NM is doing this- but we’ll take it! Just posted in another thread about women screaming about ‘being able to control their own bodies” and i wondered if Fetuses get to ‘control their bodies as well”? (Obviously they don’t as women who abort deprive them of their rights-)

They’re referred to as “roughnecks”
for a reason. These guys/gals are
hard working, hard partying,
patriotic Americans.
The oilfields of west Texas, S.E.
New Mexico are a bastion of Trump
supporters.
Chaves County, New Mexico declared
itself to be a 2nd Ammendment sanctuary
county a few years ago when our tyrant
of a governor tried to ban “assault”
style weapons.

Women who kill their babies are murderers. It is as simple as that.

It is a shame that the unborn can not walk to New Mexico.
