From Bud Shaver: Well after a couple of days of MSNBC tagging along with Tara and I around town for a few days in the life of a pro-life activist family…After a few spins in the Truth Truck, canvasing a few neighborhoods, and a prickly pear margarita…
Here is the report by MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/the-new-frontier-the-abortion-wars
Albuquerque is a tough place to drive around in the Truth Truck, said Jim Davis. His business card describes him as a “biblically-based” (quotation marks his) life and career coach and he has been driving the truck for over a decade. Here, the ratio of middle fingers to thumbs up is higher than he’s ever seen. “Maybe three to one,” he said, in favor of middle fingers.That may be because this city, and New Mexico generally, has scarcely seen anything like this—a wholesale importation of the most confrontational anti-abortion politics, in a low-key, progressive state that twice went solidly for Barack Obama. What small-bore anti-abortion bills that have been introduced statewide invariably died in committee. The Republican governor, rising star Susana Martinez, officially opposes abortion, but has evidently seen no good political reason to get involved in the referendum.
