❤️ LOVE IN ACTION SAVES LIVES! 18 babies’ lives saved this year. 10 moms currently supported through our Life Fund. Praise God! On October 16, a couple chose life outside Southwestern Women’s Options. On October 24, a couple from Gallup chose life for their third child after encountering our team outside Whole Woman’s Health. The father told us they had felt convicted throughout the drive—but our presence convinced them to keep their baby! Another turnaround that same day brought our 2026 total to 18! 🙌 Our care continues beyond the sidewalk. A mother from San Antonio who previously chose life and received support through our Life Fund recently referred a friend in crisis. Although her friend is not pregnant, she and her three-year-old daughter still need compassion and practical help—and we are here for them. She had depended on her boyfriend since leaving high school and has never lived on her own or obtained a driver’s license. With that relationship ending, she faces the overwhelming task of building a stable future for herself and her daughter. ❤️ We care about this mother and her little girl. She does not have to be pregnant or considering abortion for her family to matter to us. We provided groceries and other necessities and are working with churches in her area to connect her with ongoing support and spiritual guidance. We want her to know she is not alone—and that there is hope for their future. 🙏 Pray that she places her trust in Jesus and that she and her daughter find stability and a caring community. Please also pray for the families who recently chose life and our faithful sidewalk team. Your prayers and generosity help us put love into action—before birth, after birth, and when families face new crises. Help support mothers and save lives: AbortionFreeNM.com

New Mexico Planned Parenthood Center Stops Killing Babes in Abortions lifenews.com/2026/10/05/new-…

🚨 PLANNED PARENTHOOD STOPS ABORTIONS IN SANTA FE—MONTHS AFTER REOPENING Their own website says it plainly: “This health center doesn’t provide abortion services.” A separate page states abortion “isn’t offered at this health center.” AFNM reported the Santa Fe facility’s reopening for abortions in May. Now, its website lists other services but explicitly says it does not provide abortions. An undercover call placed by AFNM’s Tara Shaver confirmed that the Santa Fe Planned Parenthood was not currently scheduling abortion appointments. During the call, staff could not confirm whether abortion services would resume there in the near future. This follows other developments AFNM has documented: ▪️ Planned Parenthood’s Northeast Heights location reopened in Albuquerque, then permanently closed months later. ▪️ Alamo closed its Montgomery Boulevard location and consolidated services at Southwestern Women’s Options. ▪️ Planned Parenthood’s announced Washington Street location remains unopened. “Political ideology cannot keep an abortion facility open. New Mexico’s leaders may be determined to expand abortion, but these closures and service reductions show that political will alone cannot turn their plans into reality.” —Bud Shaver, Executive Director, Abortion Free New Mexico 📲 Read and share our latest report: abortionfreenm.com/news/plan… We continue working toward an Abortion Free New Mexico where every pre-born child is valued and protected.

❤️ BABY #15 SAVED! SHE CHOSE LIFE—THEN SHE WAS STRANDED. On September 26, a mother from New Braunfels, Texas, chose LIFE for her fourth child—the 15th baby saved through Abortion Free New Mexico’s outreach this year! She initially responded to our sidewalk team with hostility, even making an obscene gesture. But her story didn’t end there. After coming outside and sitting in the grass, she heard our team offering hope and help to other women. Those words touched her heart. She approached us, a meaningful conversation followed, and she chose life! 🙌 According to this mother, a Texas abortion fund had arranged her travel and lodging. But after her decision, her travel voucher was canceled—leaving her stranded in Albuquerque. ❤️ AFNM STEPPED IN. Our Life Fund paid for a rental car so she could return home to Texas. Her circumstances remain difficult, but we are committed to walking alongside her in the months ahead. 🙏 Pray that she comes to know Jesus Christ, bonds with her baby, and finds strength for the road ahead. Please also pray for our sidewalk team’s safety, courage, and compassion as they respond to hostility with love. This year, 15 babies have been saved through our outreach, and our Life Fund has helped serve 11 mothers and their families. Help replenish the AFNM Life Fund to provide transportation, emergency assistance, practical help, and compassionate support: give.cornerstone.cc/lifemini… Fifteen precious lives. Fifteen reasons to give thanks. God is so good! ❤️

'Euthanizing' a preborn child isn't compassionate. It's horrific. Read the full report: liveaction.org/news/euthaniz… Undercover recording captured abortion staff at Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) — a late-term abortion facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico, operated at the time by abortionist Curtis Boyd — telling a “healthy woman posing as 25 weeks pregnant” that they intended to “euthanize the fetus.” As previously documented by Live Action News, the disturbing recording was released by Abortion Free New Mexico and Priests for Life.

❤️ UNITED IN THE MISSION The Abortion Free New Mexico team recently came together to share how God has been moving—on the sidewalks outside Albuquerque abortion centers, through prayer, and in one another’s lives. We shared testimonies, encouraged one another, prayed together, and reflected on the privilege God has given us to stand for life and offer hope to mothers and families in crisis. This ministry is about more than simply showing up. It is about bearing one another’s burdens, strengthening one another in faith, and remaining united in the mission God has placed before us. We are deeply grateful for every faithful team member who prays, serves, speaks truth in love, and refuses to give up. God is moving—and we give Him all the glory! ✝️🙏 “Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.” — Hebrews 10:24 ❤️ JOIN THE MISSION: AbortionFreeNM.com

🙏 TODAY, NEW MEXICO PRAYED. Today, believers gathered in Albuquerque and across our state for the Statewide Day of Prayer for Life—standing in the gap for the unborn, for mothers and families, for our communities, for our leaders, and for the future of New Mexico. ✝️ Different churches. Different organizations. One Body. One purpose: standing together in prayer for New Mexico. “I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land…” — Ezekiel 22:30 Thank you to every pastor, church, ministry, organization, and prayer warrior who joined us. 🙏 We stood in the gap today. May we continue standing in the gap every day. PEOPLE. CHURCHES. COMMUNITIES. LIFE. UNITED IN PRAYER FOR NEW MEXICO. ❤️

“You’re wasting your time.” These are some of the babies whose mothers we met outside abortion clinics here in Albuquerque—and who ultimately chose life. We know these babies aren’t here because of us. They are here by the grace of God. ✝️ God is the One who changes hearts, and He allows us the privilege of showing up, praying, speaking truth in love, and offering mothers and fathers hope and practical support. So, are we wasting our time? We don’t think so. 🙏

🙏 TOMORROW: NEW MEXICO, STAND IN THE GAP FOR LIFE As part of the Spiritual Defense Coalition, Abortion Free New Mexico is joining believers, churches, organizations, families, and communities across our state tomorrow for one purpose: TO PRAY. And there is so much to bring before God. Just this week, AFNM exposed a new Planned Parenthood abortion center preparing to open in Albuquerque—at the same address as its TEEN’MPower youth program. Then, our sidewalk team was violently attacked while ministering outside an Albuquerque abortion facility. During the confrontation, the woman declared on video: “I’VE DECIDED I’M OKAY WITH GOING TO PRISON TODAY.” These developments should do more than concern us. They should drive us to our knees. Tomorrow, September 12 from 9:00–10:30 AM, we will pray for unborn children, mothers and babies, protection for young people, safety and courage for sidewalk teams, changed hearts among abortion workers, wisdom for our leaders, and a culture of life throughout New Mexico. 📍 JOIN US IN ALBUQUERQUE New Covenant Church 7200 Ridgecrest Dr. SE Albuquerque, NM 87113 Our Lady of the Annunciation Church 2621 Vermont St. NE Albuquerque, NM 87110 📍 NOT IN ALBUQUERQUE?

🚨Where is Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller? Where is Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham? Our sidewalk team was violently attacked while peacefully exercising their free speech and ministering to women in crisis in Albuquerque. Will our mayor and governor publicly condemn this violence—or does condemnation depend on who the victims are and what they believe? Political differences are irrelevant here. Violence against peaceful citizens should be condemned—period. 🚨@MayorKeller @GovMLG @ABQPOLICE @BCSONM Read the report and watch the video: AFNM’s full report: ⁠ abortionfreenm.com/news/brea… — Bud Shaver, Executive Director @AbortionFreeNM
