What is happening here in New Mexico? We have a radical abortion bill moving forward along with assisted suicide, a very huge dark cloud of death hangs over the Roundhouse! Then this happens!!! Dem State Rep. Andrea Romero proposes a bill to censor the internet! “Right to be Forgotten Act” CLEARLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Christian news websites like ours FGGAM.ORG already have enough problems! She now has backed off on this bill! Where do these people come from? Where do they go to school? How do they ever get elected? Come on New Mexico research your candidates, Romero is the same person who got in trouble for travel expenses when she was with Regional Coalition of LANL Communities. I thought we were better than this!
This clearly could be the most ungodly legislative session in New Mexico history. More BAD NEWS: They also are moving on legalizing marijuana. There is also movement to raise our taxes, this along with APS asking for a HUGE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE by mail-in ballot just ads to the pain.
Thank you Elisa Martinez for this report! Thank you for standing in the gap for God’s babies! Pray for Elisa, pray for New Mexico! It so so very tragic that so many were not allowed to testify! New Mexico is going against God. My heart is broken at this news from Elisa. Frankly, the Church is losing the battle for life in New Mexico. We are also facing the approval of the assisted suicide bill. Thank you Elisa for remaining so very strong for God.

BREAKING: Radical Abortion Bill Passes Out of Committee on Party Line Vote
Dozens of pro-life New Mexicans not allowed to testify
|
Santa Fe, NM–Hundreds of New Mexicans showed up for the House Judiciary Committee hearing on HB-51, a bill that would strip New Mexico’s criminal abortion statute, keeping full-term, elective abortion legal while stripping conscience protections for medical professionals. Hundreds of pro-life New Mexicans who took time off of work and traveled as far as Hobbs, NM were not allowed to testify in opposition to the bill by the pro-abortion chairwoman, Rep. Gail Chasey (D-Bernalillo). The controversial bill passed on a party-line vote of 10-4 and will proceed for a vote on the House Floor.
Representative Jim Townsend, (R- Carlsbad) asked the bill sponsor, Joanne Ferrary (D-Las Cruces) if the billow allows a healthy mom with a healthy baby to obtain an abortion at 6 months of pregnancy up to birth. The expert witness for the bill responded, “it would keep the statute quo.”
“Speaker Egolf and Chairwoman Chasey’s attempts to silence the majority of New Mexicans opposed to House Bill 51 is outrageous,” said Elisa Martinez, Executive Director of New Mexico Alliance for Life. “What is even more outrageous is the fact the sponsors of the bill were incapable of answering a straightforward question as to whether or not the bill allows a healthy mom to abort a healthy baby at 6 months of pregnancy and beyond. It doesn’t take an expert to answer with a simple yes– since this is indeed the case.”
House Bill 51 will move on to the House Floor for a final vote before going to the Senate, despite the majority of New Mexicans opposing the extreme aspects of the bill, including full-term abortion and stripping conscience protections for health care providers from participating in an abortion.
