WHAT: Albuquerque City Councilor Trudy Jones has proposed to introduce a bill at Wednesday’s city council meeting to disenfranchise Albuquerque voters by attempting to prevent the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance from appearing on the November 19 special election ballot.
WHO: Protect ABQ Women & Children
Pro-life groups
Concerned Albuquerque voters
Late-term abortion ban petition signers
WHY: According to a recent Albuquerque Journal poll, the majority
of Albuquerque residents support the ban to end to the lucrative and dangerous late-term abortion industry. Because New Mexico allows for abortions until the day of birth, Albuquerque has become the late-term abortion capital of the country.
The United States Supreme Court has set precedents for states and municipalities to enact restrictions on abortions on behalf of the unborn child when there is compelling evidence — as outlined in Supreme Court Rulings Roe, Doe, Casey, Gonzales, and Akron. Furthermore, 12 states have passed 20-week bans and 40 states have some kind of abortion restrictions in place.
