New Mexico Governor’s Abortion Funding Sparks Outrage Among Conservatives
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 2 days ago
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's recent maneuver to allocate an additional $10 million in taxpayer funds for a new abortion facility has sparked outrage among pro-life advocates and concerned citizens alike.
As part of House Bill 450, which encompasses a broader $1.2 billion capital outlay package, this last-minute addition serves to expand abortion access in a state already notorious for its lenient abortion laws.
Critics are voicing their concerns over the governor's lack of transparency, as the funding request was made without any public input.
Republican lawmakers, including Representative Rod Montoya, have condemned the move, emphasizing that using taxpayer dollars to support state-funded abortion clinics is not only ethically questionable but also a gross misallocation of state resources.
Montoya highlighted the pressing infrastructure needs in his district, arguing that funding for roads and essential services should take precedence over expanding the abortion industry.
Republican Representative Stefani Lord echoed this sentiment, taking issue with Grisham's focus on abortion while her constituents are left waiting for basic necessities. “My district needs millions for roads, water, law enforcement, and other critical services,” she stated, “yet this governor sneaks in $10 million for an abortion clinic.”
New Mexico has seen a significant increase in abortion facilities in recent years, with the number rising from six to 26 businesses post-Dobbs, overshadowing the resources available for prenatal and childbirth care.
Supporters of the governor’s proposal argue that it is essential to meet the demand for reproductive health services.
However, the truth remains clear: this expansion is less about health care and more about positioning New Mexico as a destination for out-of-state abortion seekers, while neglecting the primacy of genuine healthcare that supports women and children.
Conservative groups, such as Concerned Women for America, are urging citizens to voice their opposition to this appropriated funding, viewing it as a significant moral and fiscal failure that undermines the values of New Mexicans.
As this contentious issue makes its way to the state Senate, it remains to be seen whether the voices of opposition will be enough to halt the governor’s controversial agenda that prioritizes abortion over pressing community needs.
In a time when many are calling for a return to core values that respect life and encourage the well-being of families, this new funding request stands as a glaring example of what many see as a misalignment of priorities by the state's leadership.
