If Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion will remain legal and accessible in New Mexico because of the hard work of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Democratic legislators. And not only New Mexicans, but people from Arizona and Texas will rely on New Mexico for safe access to reproductive health care.
But those protections are only guaranteed as long as Democrats remain in office.
Every GOP candidate for governor has already voiced their support for extreme restrictions on abortion and many have promised to implement legislation mirroring Texas’ heartbeat bill if elected.
In order to ensure that New Mexico remains a safe haven for those seeking reproductive health care, we must re-elect Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and elect Democrats in all three congressional districts.
