The New Mexico legislature is considering two radically anti-life bills that, if enacted, would carry devastating consequences for the state’s citizens.
The first, NM HB51, removes conscience protections for doctors, nurses and healthcare workers who refuse to perform or refer for abortions. It would also protect human traffickers, rapists, and those who prey on children by allowing abortions on minors without parental notification.
NM House Bill 90 would legalize assisted suicide in New Mexico, allow non-physicians to prescribe lethal drugs, allow non-residents to come to NM to receive euthanasia, and much more.
