On Saturday, the leaders of two large national pro-abortion groups, Alexis McGill Johnson of Planned Parenthood and Mini Timmaraju of NARAL, stumped in Las Cruces to promote Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Lujan Grisham almost exclusively is running her campaign on the abortion issue, erroneously claiming her GOP opponent Mark Ronchetti is an “extremist” who wants to ban abortion. This rhetoric comes as the governor is a supporter of unregulated abortion up-to-birth with no exceptions, as evidenced in a 2021 law she signed stripping all protections for women, medical professionals, and babies in the womb.
The rally, held at Albert Johnson Park, included attendees such as Democrat Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, Democrat Las Cruces City Councilor Johana Bencomo, scandal-ridden Democrat congressional candidate Gabe Vasquez, state representatives, and others.
As well as rallying, the pro-abortion figures both visited the Las Cruces Planned Parenthood abortion mill and met with state legislators, including state Reps. Joanne Ferrary and Nathan Small (D-Doña Ana), state Sens. Carrie Hamblen and William Soules (D-Doña Ana).
According to Mark Cavaliere of the pro-life group Southwest Coalition for Life, over 200 pro-lifers “completely encircled the governor’s abortion rally in Las Cruces,” where they held signs and prayed while the pro-abortion supporters rallied.
Videos show the pro-lifers praying rosaries, carrying crosses, and holding signs with messages such as “Save the Innocent” and “Pray to End Abortion.” Cavaliere says that people came from Albuquerque, Belen, Los Lunas, Rio Rancho, Ruidoso, El Paso, and other places to protest the governor’s anti-life rally.
While Democrats attempt to escape total annihilation by betting on abortion in November, New Mexicans are more interested in candidates who will address inflation, the economy, gas prices, public safety, and other issues. Despite that, leftists are hoping abortion up-to-birth will bring them a victory on Election Day.
I am voting for “Pro-Life” and this is why.
Mark 12:31 “……..love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these”……..(referring to the two greatest commandments),
My interpretation of this verse is different from that of California Gov. Newsom. For me, the infant in the mother’s womb is her closest neighbor and by loving the unborn……she will provide life.
John 15:13 “No one has greater love than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
An infant in the womb is more than a friend and a woman who perseveres knowing it may cause her own life to end……truly embodies Jesus’s words.
Revelation 3: 15-16 “I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm— neither hot nor cold— I will spit you out of my mouth!”
As a Catholic Christian, I will do my best never to judge or condemn others, but Christians who believe a baby in the womb is not a life—–can be aborted at any time and support pro-abortion candidates—–are perhaps being lukewarm—–or just plain cold—–I’ll let God decide.
As for me, I will always vote for those who hold and exercise the Judeo-Christian values that this country was founded on, so please let us join together and vote Pro-Life. Besides, I truly believe Jesus will expect nothing else.
God Bless Us All
That Welcome to New Mexico sign makes me sick. I do not want to live in a state that is known for slaughtering babies. Grisham has got to go. Things will most certainly get worse for us if she wins. And I don’t want to hear derogatory remarks about Ronchetti. Should he win the election, and I pray he does, hold his feet to the fire, and the oath he takes. Hold him accountable and let’s work together to make New Mexico a state we can be proud to live in.
MR still approves abortion up to 15 weeks….it’s still abortion….how can you say your against slaughter of babies but support a person who does the same thing….you cannot please God and please lucifer at the same time….either you are for or against abortion it’s as simple as that….
MLG can only run on the abortion issue. Sad
Horrible. New Mexicans need to vote to take our state back. This is control. Let’s Unite and stop this …..
It is difficult for me to pray for the bruja, but I will pray she loses the election and has a change of heart. God help us. The politicians in this state are becoming more and more evil by the day.
