Local advocacy group, “Protect ABQ Women & Children to host an “Evening for Life” with Carol Everett to inform voters and provide insight into the dangerous late-term abortion industry in Albuquerque in light of November 19 ballot measure.
WHY:
Carol Everett has first-hand knowledge of the late-term abortion industry and worked as a colleague of Dr. Curtis Boyd in Texas. Boyd operates the downtown Albuquerque facility, which is the largest late-term abortion facility in the U.S. New Mexico is one of the few states where abortion is legal for any reason through all nine months of pregnancy, which is why out-of-state doctors travel here to provide these dangerous late-term abortions. The proposed “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance” will ban abortion after five months, or 20 weeks, of pregnancy due to the fact that babies in the womb feel tremendous amounts of pain at 20 weeks of pregnancy – and beyond – when their lives are taken.

In July, Protect ABQ Women & Children, along with other pro-life groups, turned in nearly 27,000 signatures, more than double the necessary needed to put the measure on a city-wide ballot, in half the allotted time. Protect ABQ Women & Children is a local advocacy campaign that is working to raise awareness of the dangers of the late-term abortion industry in Albuquerque and to garner support for the “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance,” which bans abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
