As one of the only south-western states that still provides abortion access, New Mexico has become the epicenter of post-Roe America.
Right now, abortion providers and people in need of care are flocking to our home state to seek the care and protection they need. Luckily, our state-protected reproductive rights reflect the 70% of Americans who want to uphold abortion access.
Let’s not forget, the reason we maintained our reproductive rights as so many of our neighboring states rolled back their access was because we put the voices of our people first. The strength of our democracy made sure the will of the people was reflected in our government, our policy, and our practices.
Our neighboring states are facing the bluntest impact of this decision, and are now enduring the most restrictive bans on abortion and reproductive healthcare in the nation. So many people are looking to us for help in these troubling times. They are counting on us to maintain our representative democracy and continue to serve the will of the people.
We cannot give in to the baseless fears designed to erode our democracy. Fortunately, we have the facts and the truth on our side. I believe every person should have the opportunity to have their say in their government. And I will keep fighting to make sure all New Mexicans are heard.
Thank you,
Maggie
