On Wednesday, following Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s announcement of an executive order pledging to use $10 million taxpayer dollars to erect a new abortion facility in Las Cruces, pro-abortion groups issued what is being called an “Orwellian” press kit denying basic facts and promoting abortion misinformation.
In the kit shared by the Santa Fe New Mexican’s Daniel Chacón, the groups list what they brand as “political terms” versus “accurate terms,” claiming terms have become “stigmatized” to oppose abortion.
The guide claims “abortion clinic” must now be called “health center,” pro-lifers be branded “anti-abortion individuals,” pro-abortion supporters be branded “pro-abortion rights” and “pro-reproductive health care,” abortionists be deemed “health care providers,” “women” now be called “patients,” “individuals,” and “people,” and “late-term abortion” now be branded “abortion later in pregnancy.”
The pro-abortion press kit says regarding nixing the word “woman,” “Women are not the only people who become pregnant and/or seek abortion care. People of all genders, including non-binary individuals also seek abortion care.” Science does not back this up. Only women can become pregnant and have children.
The abortion kit also defended full-term abortion, claiming that the terms “abortion up until birth” and “infanticide are terms pushed by anti-abortion organizations in order to scare people and stigmatize reproductive health care. ‘Abortion up until birth’ simply does not occur.”
This is easily fact-checkable as blatantly false. A U.S. Congressional report found in 2016 that babies in New Mexico were, indeed, aborted up until birth and even killed after birth, making “infanticide” an absolutely appropriate term.
The Republican Party of New Mexico responded to the new press kit, writing, “Look at this: This Orwellian ‘newspeak’ guide was given to media reporters in NM to make sure they use words that sway the narrative. Women are replaced by ‘people,’ late-term abortion is now ‘abortion later in pregnancy,’ and pro-life is replaced with ‘anti-abortion.’”
Will Reinert of the Republican Governors Association noted that Lujan Grisham “now dictates how reporters write about her taxpayer funded abortion clinic to make it more politically palatable.”

Editor’s note: A previous version of this article reported based on other reports that the press guide came from Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. It actually came from MLG’s pro-abortion allies.
To quote Shakespeare, “ A rose by any other name, is still a rose.”
No. It’s, “A rose by any other name still smells as sweet”. So in this case, an abortion is still murder no matter what you call it.
With all her euphemisms, MLG is playing word games. But killing babies is not a game.
The press kit was put out by abort rights groups, not the NM governor. There is significant creep on this site among the commentary and the primary author in who statements and information is attributed to. Please read the Pinonpost terms of use.
First question is what if anything is the republican party of NM going to do about this? Making statements means nothing.. Evil MLG already signed an executive order to use our money to pay for an abortion clinic. Is it a legal action for a govenor to do this? We have seen evil MLG spend our money on whatever she wants. She thinks she owns New Mexico, Taxpayer money and We the People are her subjects. Once again brainwashed morons will vote for her again. Only WOMEN CAN HAVE BABIES!!
I have voted many times across party lines in the past elections because of the candidates platform. But I don’t recognize the Democratic Party of recent years who voted for late term abortion. I am a baby cuddlier at a local hospital and hold these very tiny beautiful babies in my arms and look at their perfectly formed faces, a small hand that grasps my finger, a smile that comes across their face when I speak of love in their ear. I can’t image the pain they must endure during the abortive procedure. Is the new birth control method abortion??? I am sure other birth control methods are available that are less invasive for women. We are all created in the image and likeness of God, the closest I have come to see the face God is when I am looking into the faces of these precious babies in my arms…..God help us all.
God bless you, Rita, for the work you do. Your post really touched my heart and I hope it’ll do the same for others.
Babies are truly a gift from God, and the abortionists are Godless, demonic entities battling against God Himself, and the sanctity of life.
Should have seen this coming, the next phase in her sick agenda is to control the language. Sorry little tyrant we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH and will use it.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PEOPLE VOTE HER OUT. THIS IS MURDER, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. THIS WORLD IS GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET. (THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE IF IT JUST BLEW UP AND STARTED OVER. THIS IS JUST A SMARTASS COMMENT, SO DON’T TAKE IT SO LITERAL )
I believe in life. To kill a bady is a crime and a sin. I hope and pray that every women that does, come by in after life and get killed the same.That way they can did to There bady. Burn in hell sinners. Oh by the way our governor now , will be there to greet you.😡
If abortion up to the time of birth is legal then why is “post partum abortion” called murder?
What is the difference between a newborn who’s skull is pierced to vacuum out their brain and a short, fat, Not My Governess Nazi who has already had that tiny speck of gray matter vacuumed out of her brain pan?
You can douse that pig with gallons of rouge lipstick and perfume – murder is MURDER.
MLG is a soldier of satan just like the one in the WH. If we do not get free elections and get rid of the machines and get a new Governor this state I will leave
I have to also remember that included in the murders are the women that chose to get pregnant by their own actions and then chose murder. It appears MLG’s mother did not chose murder- I wonder what she thinks
MLG uses politically correct phraseology to make abortion sound better. Well, two can play this game. Pro-life advocates need to call abortion what is is—- murder.
Last time I checked, if someone murders a pregnant woman, and both her AND her unborn baby dies, it is counted as a double homicide.
Yet killing a baby before or after birth is not recognized at all as being murder???
The criminality and evilness of Grisham is at times too much to deal with. Sarah Palin (Alaska) lost her primary to a democrat —- the first time in 50 years a democrat has won, (according to the Gateway Pundit), due largely in part to mail in ballots. This doesn’t give me much hope for this state which will undoubtedly push the samething again . Not to mention the fact that this state is full of pot smoking, brainwashed, government dependent idiots.
Anyone else notice the “Stand with black women” sign in the picture for this report? Correct me if I’m wrong, but according to what Margaret Sanger said years ago when abortion became legal, abortion was primarily for black babies because she viewed black people as an inferior race. (Paraphrased), see link below.
So sad that so many people are deceived.
BUT WOULDN’T THIS MAKE FOR A RATHER INTERESTING CAMPAIGN AD AGAINST BABY KILLER GRISHAM?
