Pro-life advocates in Albuquerque, N.M., are bucking the trend in the “late-term abortion capital of the U.S.” by petitioning for a ballot measure that would ban abortion after 20 weeks.
The petition is a grassroots effort led by Bud and Tara Shaver with Project Defending Life. Organizations such as the Catholic Coalition, New Mexico Right to Life, Knights of Columbus, and Voices for Family Values also support the petition, which calls for a measure modeled after the fetal pain bill passed in the U.S. House earlier this year. The city ordinance would only apply to Albuquerque, where three of New Mexico’s five abortion centers operate.
Bud and Tara Shaver are my guests this Saturday night at 7:30pm on Dewey and Friends on KAZQ TV CH 32 in Albuquerque.
