The tide is turning across our nation with many states passing pro-life bills. Georgia recently passed the Heartbeat bill making it illegal to abort a baby after a heartbeat is detected, which is around 21 days.
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill last week making all abortion is illegal. She said “Today, I signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act. To the bill’s many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious & that every life is a sacred gift from God”. Thank you Governor Ivey. The bill makes it a felony for a doctor to perform or attempt an abortion during any stage of pregnancy.
Louisiana is close to passing their Heartbeat bill, and Missouri is banning abortion after 8 weeks, and the list goes on.
Unfortunately our Governor is not a supporter of life; in fact she is working to market our state because of our current abortion stand. In other words making it tourism. This week many Hollywood actors were protesting, saying they would boycott Georgia and not work there because of the new Heartbeat bill. To this Governor Grisham said “the situation in Georgia is appalling to me and, I know, so many New Mexicans. I hope film companies make the ethical choice and invest in states that are clear about baseline human rights, not least a woman’s autonomy over her own body. To those production companies and filmmakers across the U.S. and elsewhere I would offer a simple reminder: New Mexico is wide open for business. Bring your cameras.”
In other words our Governor is willing to kill babies just to have Hollywood here. I think most New Mexicans would agree with you and I that this is beyond barbaric. And so the battle rages on here in New Mexico. NO amount of money is worth the killing of innocent babies.
Thank you for all you are doing for the cause of life. We are making a difference. I appreciate your past and present support. Together we will one day see our own bill that ends abortion in our state.
Onward,
Ethel Maharg
Executive Director
