Micaiah Bilger – January 28, 2019<\/p>\n

New Mexico moved closer to adopting a radical new law allowing abortions for basically any reason up to birth on Saturday.<\/p>\n

State House Bill 51 passed the House Consumer and Public Affairs committee in a 3-2 vote, with all Democrats voting in favor and all Republicans voting against, according to Newsweek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sponsored by state Rep. Joanne Ferrary, the bill would repeal a state statute from the 1960s that prohibits abortions<\/a> except in cases of rape, incest or threats to the mother\u2019s life. The statute is not in effect because of Roe v. Wade<\/i>, but if the Supreme Court overturns the case, it would go into effect again.<\/p>\n

Ferrary\u2019s bill would change that. Instead of being one of nine states that would make it a crime for an abortionist to kill an unborn baby, New Mexico would become a state that allows abortions without restriction, the Albuquerque Journal reports<\/a>. Essentially, unborn babies could be aborted for any reason up to birth.<\/p>\n

In addition, it would remove conscience protections for medical professionals who believe it is wrong to abort unborn babies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe committee\u2019s willingness to pass this careless bill without consideration of amendments to limit abortion up to birth after five months, and other concerns most New Mexicans have is a disgrace,\u201d said New Mexico Alliance for Life Executive Director Elisa Martinez. \u201cForcing doctors to participate in abortions up to birth is the stated goal of proponents behind this bill and New Mexicans must rise up against this radical bill.\u201d<\/p>\n
