In a recent Los Angeles Times article written by columnist Mark Z. Barabak, he chides Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham over her failures in office and gives insight from an outsider into why Republicans have a shot at winning back the New Mexico Governor’s Mansion.
In the article, Barabak notes how abortion has become a hot-button issue in New Mexico but how Republican Mark Ronchetti has attempted to put Lujan Grisham on the defense due to her support for abortion up to birth policies.
He writes, “Some of the difficulty is Grisham’s doing, a result of scandals involving her personal use of public funds and a sexual harassment settlement she paid to a former staffer. But much of her vulnerability arises from issues like crime, the economy and Biden’s drag on Democrats across the country.”
According to his column, when trying to get the far-left governor on the record for what restrictions she supports on abortion, he noted, “Asked if the governor favored any limits, a campaign spokeswoman responded with generalities about Grisham’s defense of abortion rights.”
But we know Lujan Grisham’s position is for unlimited abortions for any cases up to the second of birth. She affirmed this by signing a 2021 bill that stripped all abortion limits and protections for mothers, babies, and medical professionals.
She reaffirmed this position when pressed by CNN’s Jake Tapper. She responded to his question of what limits New Mexico has despite national polls showing most Americans back abortion limits, with a defense of her policy.
She said to Tapper, “There are no restrictions. given that we interpret and I agree that, again, per this new Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, is this is a privacy right and a personal decision between a woman and her doctor. and to interfere in any of these medical decisions creates, and it has, unknown, untold reductions in civil liberties for any number of individuals.”
These extreme positions adopted by Lujan Grisham, among other issues, such as the economy, are likely to be her downfall, Barabak predicts.
He concluded his column by writing, “Then Democrats are probably in for the walloping they’re desperate to avoid.”
How come you guys never bring up Karen Bedonie. Mark Ronchintie supports abortion up to 15 weeks. And a never Trumper. Ronchintie has no gop support or conservatives because of being all for life. Vwhy don’t you interview Karen she more conservative then libertarian those are fact Ronchintie wants to kill oil fracking in New Mexico. Come on. Let s hear from Bedonie. Or are you news guys affraid to ask her .
This article was only about the LA Times article, which did not mention Mrs. Bedonie. Check out all of our other articles that do, indeed mention her, such as this one from two days ago: https://pinonpost.com/mlg-who-promotes-socialist-policies-claims-republican-ronchetti-is-a-socialist/ Also, if you would like to submit an op-ed, we will be happy to put it up: news@pinonpost.com
Pathetic.
Bedonie has no shot to win, that’s why. Doesn’t matter if she was teaching the Second Coming of Christ. She abdicated her voice. Like it or not, there is a 2 party system. Gary Johnson is a Libertarian and switched parties because he knew that’s what it’d take to win. Karen went rogue and in doing that split the vote. Any vote for Bedonie is a vote for MLG. And don’t get me started on some of the individuals that she has directly working on her campaign. I won’t mention names, but if you have seriously, psychologically unhinged people working in “power positions” on your campaign staff….that makes you look unelectable by association.
Totally agree with your assessment Bee. As tempting as it is, voting for Libertarian or 3rd party candidates dilutes/splits our votes that would otherwise go to the (more) conservative candidate.
We must learn from history. Remember the disastrous result of the Bull-Moose party of Theodore Roosevelt.
I believe President Trump wisely chose to remain within the Republican party even though he had a chance to form an alternative party, realizing that course is doomed to failure.
I’m not thrilled with Ronchetti as our candidate, but MLG putting us through 4 more years of anti-God, anti-American, self-destructing policies is so much worse.
Karen Bedonie made a fatal mistake when she left the Republican Party. Truly a shame. Ronchetti also announced he left the Republican Party but won the GOP Primary. Bedonie may well be the reason MLG wins re-election by splitting the otherwise Republican vote. MLG is the absolute worse Governor in he nation – she really needs to go! Think very carefully before voting for a 3rd party that has zero chance of winning.
Happy to hear more people are realizing MLG is an evil baby murdering Demon. Praying she loses and leaves office is discrace. But evil has no shame. To Catholics still voting democrap. You cannot be democrap and believe in murder.
MLG’s lucky babies can’t vote.
Not holding my breath, too many ignorant people in this state continue to support Democrat
Unfortunately, I think you are right!
Funny that in the clip she talks about the “civil liberties” of the mother but doesn’t give a hoot about the civil liberties of the business owners she forced to shut down or the phone data she looked at showing the travel paterns of New Mexicans during her shut down…
And has she given up her “emergency powers” yet?….
She’s awful!
I am more in tune on issues with Karen Bedonie, but she has no chance. If you want to waste your vote on Bedonie and “fly over the cliff with your flags waving”, then go ahead and vote for her and re-elect “Malevolent Michelle” in the process.
Voting for Wrongchetti is a wasted vote. He is Deep State. Been in the mainstream media for decades. The fake news. He is one of them. That means no matter who is elected, we get more of the MLG agenda. MLG Lite.

Here is an inconvenient truth. Dominion was brought into New Mexico under republican governor Susana Martinez’s administration, and republican SOS Diana Duran.
If you are wondering why the state GOP doesn’t appear interested in real election integrity, it’s because they helped create the problem. We are talking about the “uniparty.”
Jay McKlesky was Susana’s right hand political strategist during her selection.
Jay McKlesky is current GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Ronchetti’s political strategist. Ronchetti was selected this past June.
There is a club folks, and you and I ain’t in it. Ronchetti and Wuhan Grisham are cut from the same cloth.
I’d take a strong look at Karen Bedonie for NM governor if I were you. Just my two cents.
Thanks James. Well thought out response and accurate too. The NM people are brainwashed to think Ronkekki is some kind of God since he is on the Red Team. The Red team in NM has been a front for the Deep State for quite some time; this is the reason trafficking is ran through our state. Conrad Hilton wrote in his book, being in office in the 1920’s the NM was already infiltrated with corruption, the most he has ever seen. NM is bought and sold and we need to get out and let it fall where it falls (if we can get out).
Here is a question for anyone who thinks abortion up to birth is ok: If a madman, a shooter, kills a pregnant woman, why is he charged with double murder? The idea that you can take a viable, USA citizen (the baby up to birth) and abort/murder it without consequence shows a real disregard for the child’s civil liberties. Anyone who wants abortion after the heartbeat is evil. Up until the day of birth — that is beyond evil. It is so wrong it sickens me. I don’t support any abortion with exceptions for rape, safety of the mother etc. But I could, in the spirit of meeting in the middle, agree to abortion up until the heartbeat.
Why is a child conceived by rape any different from others? Don’t they have civil rights too? What makes them so different that they should be put to death because of the evil of someone else?
I’ll say it again and keep it simple. A vote for Bedonie is a vote for MLG
And I’ll say it again….
Voting for Wrongchetti is a wasted vote. He is Deep State. Been in the mainstream media for decades. The fake news. He is one of them. That means no matter who is elected, we get more of the MLG agenda. MLG Lite.

James you’re delusional, and your advice isn’t even worth 2 cents.
There’s a club alright James and YOU are in it. And you’re correct, We ain’t in it.
Its the club for little nut jobs like you. Ya take a “strong” look at Bedonie who has ZERO chance at winning this race.
You’re pathetic, Ronchetti and MLG cut from the same cloth??? What a moronic statement. Its plain to see, they’re polar opposites.
Go away dummkopf
You are right on the money, Daniel! MLG destroyed fully 1/3 of the small businesses in NM during the lockdown. And, no, she has not allowed her Emergency Powers Order to expire. She is just waiting for another chance to tell us to stay home. She is killing this state singlehandedly.
Her evil policies and ideologies are starting to manifest themselves into her physical appearance, man that is one disgusting person. Yuk
