On Wednesday, so-called “faith leaders” gathered in a committee room at the state Capitol in Santa Fe to promote killing children through abortions. At the press conference, the individuals showcased a letter organized by the “​​New Mexico Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.”

The letter proclaimed that the signers “feel called to declare our support for a woman’s ability to access abortion and other reproductive healthcare services as a basic issue of health and safety for women and their families.”

“Our religious principles are grounded in a love and acceptance of all people, and we believe deeply that means ending the shame and stigma associated with abortion and increasing access for all women to a full range of reproductive healthcare options.”

“These women are our neighbors, our co-workers, our friends, and our peers. As people of faith and as New Mexicans, we believe in loving our neighbors and treating one another as we would like to be treated—with dignity and respect,” and therefore, they back aborting children.

At the press conference, the speakers, which included the heads of groups like “Catholics for Choice,” claimed there was a “false narrative” that faith leaders were against abortion.

Robert Tso, pastor of Victory Life Church in Shiprock, and Republican Party of New Mexico Executive Committee member responded to the pro-abortion so-called “faith leaders.”

“More than ever, faith leaders need to speak up for life and confront progressive politics that seek to compromise God’s word. We should lead young women to the grace and love of Jesus Christ, not the abortion clinic,” he wrote in a statement.

“Our Christian faith does not stand for the murder of innocent life and as faith leaders, we must ‘let our yes be yes, and our no be no’ without compromise on this matter (Matthew 5:37). Scripture says, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you,’ affirming every unborn life has value and purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). Let us continue to pray for the end of abortion and for a state that honors the sanctity of life.”

The Republican Party of New Mexico wrote in addition, “The Republican Party of New Mexico strongly opposes anti-life bills like HB 7 and other legislation pushed by progressive Democrats that will solidify New Mexico as the nation’s abortion capital.”

“Our religious principles are grounded in a love and acceptance of all people, ..."

Apparently not the unborn.

“Choice” is the language of Satan.

These people apparently have zero self awareness. If they ever stopped and noticed what they themselves are saying and doing, they would join Fetterman on the psych ward.

Innocent defenseless little boys and girls deserve every protection.
1.7 billion of them have been killed just since 1980. That’s only the reported numbers. We know there’s millions more unreported every year.

That’s more people killed in little more than four decades that the number of people killed in all of the world’s wars and health epidemics throughout all our thousands of years of recorded history combined.

There’s no evil in the world, nor has there ever been, proportionate to the evil of abortion on demand.

Well, you know that this pastor is now on the FBI’s ‘Traditional Christian Terrorist Watch List’; How dare he have a reverence for all life!!!

“Our religious principles are grounded in a love and acceptance of all people,

Except innocent unborn children...and "all people" had to be that at one time, demonstrating their complete hypocrisy.

'The letter proclaimed that the signers “feel called to declare our support for a woman’s ability to access abortion...'

Hmm, who could be "calling" them to feel that?

The devil smiles when his minions fool the weak.

[BipolarBob]

They weren’t polled and didn’t have a choice.

It’s easy to be for abortion when you are not the one being killed.

[Redcitizen]

I’ve gotta remember that line when someone says something that is Pro-Abortion.

I saw it on a bumper sticker one day.

Someone here on FR said once that they challenged someone about their abortion stand after seeing a BLM bumper sticker.

How can you support black lives mattering and abortion and PP when almost half the black babies conceived in America are aborted, and most abortion clinics are strategically located near black communities?
