In a recent discussion about Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democrat nominee for president, several New Mexico-based pro-abortion and “LGBTQ” groups expressed mixed reactions.
Marshall Martinez, executive director of Equality New Mexico, voiced enthusiasm about Harris’s candidacy, noting, “It’s exciting to see a woman of color campaign for president.” However, he also acknowledged concerns, mentioning Harris’s controversial history as a prosecutor, stating, “Every candidate will likely be problematic for us in some kind of way.”
Rachel Lorenzo, founder and Executive Director of Indigenous Women Rising, offered a more neutral perspective. While acknowledging Harris’s engagement with issues like Black women’s maternal mortality rates, Lorenzo expressed reservations about Harris’s overall stance on “reproductive justice” (abortion).
Lorenzo emphasized that reproductive justice “isn’t just about abortion access; it’s about safe communities, access to good education, clean environments to raise our families in,” and raised concerns about Harris’s record on prostitution, pointing out that during her tenure in California, Harris supported shutting down websites that allowed “sex workers” to advertise safely.
Lorenzo also expressed frustration with the Biden administration’s lack of action on the Hyde Amendment, which restricts federal funding for abortion.
Lorenzo highlighted the need for concrete actions over rhetoric, stating, “We heard great words from Biden on the campaign about protecting abortion access. One of the most basic things he could have done was recodify Roe v. Wade.”
The mixed reactions highlight a broader concern among some advocates about Harris’ ability to address the complexities of certain issues that placate the far-left progressives.
While Martinez is hopeful about Harris’ potential impact, despite her “problematic” record, Lorenzo remains cautious, emphasizing the importance of action over words in addressing these critical issues.
Leftists are breaking with Harris over certain issues, and conservatives are alarmed at her far-left past, notably her being named the most progressive member while serving in the U.S. Senate. It is unclear how this will shape the race in New Mexico.
Vote. Democrat or dead. It dont matter if you go broke. It dont matter if your 9 month old fetus kicks you too hard you can kill it with POTUS virgin birthing canal Kameela camel toe’s polices! Congratulations evil!
…said no sane person ever… (the above written paragraph is sarcasm people other than the last sentence).
I have an acknowledgement, a solution and remedy to the DNC or dead problem plaguing NM…The DNC of NM is in a full blown mental health crisis, the time has come to proceed through the courts to disarm and remove every firearm from every active member of the DNC due to insanitary issues and RED FLAG them using their own arrogant insane BS public safety laws.
The only attribute required to disarm is a current, active voter registration card on file at the NM SOS’s office.
Disarming DNC party people in NM insures the high crime rates will drop by a minimum of 63%! SO IT IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE!
Every new gun purchase must present a voter identification card prior to the sale or transfer of a firearm from a license FFL dealer. If there is a (D) on the voter id, they must wait 14 days before taking possession of the weapon. Then, they must complete a firearms safety course at a approved range with an active GOP card carrying member’s instruction.
Then if they fail to achieve 100% through testing or on the range, they shall forfeit that firearm to the nearest GOP member.
I just solved 63% of the crime problem, and no doubt 63% of homicides in NM.
I like your attitude and you are funny, but pipe dreams make things happen.
How can they call it reproductive when they aren’t reproducing. They are killing human beings. I will not vote for a democrat because color of one’s skin, their gender, or if they are homosexual. They do NOT consider one’s ability to do the do. Republicans may not be the answer to your problems but the democrats are the reason for all your problems. (Bongino rule)
Same O Same O it’s just gonna get worse for Democrats and Republicans if you all vote the same way.
Reminds me of all the Hillary supporters in 2008 claiming they were sitting out the election because Obama was beating her in the primaries. Come general election time, they all lined up like obedient robots and voted for Obama anyway.
Estamos orando por Venezuela.
My concerns are: they did not think much of Harris as a VP and wanted to replace her on the Biden ticket for November. Harris has know as well as the other minions in DC of Biden’s acuity, all her critics are now supporting her nomination for President. What does that say about them protecting democracy yet had no regards for the primaries that took place and voted for Biden. Harris father is a well known Marxist.
We need to pray that Trump and JD stick to the all the reasons of her past record. Trump needs to assure Americans what he will do to protect our Country, the People, the Constitution. Trump must present the facts and not be drawn into the political negativity. There is a reason his life was spared. Trump needs to curtail the name calling as the Democratic and news media do so well.
““We heard great words from Biden on the campaign about protecting abortion access. One of the most basic things he could have done was recodify Roe v. Wade.” People are so hung up on the abortion issue. How many women really intend to have an abortion in their lifetimes while the rest of Americans are worried about feeding their families, being able to afford to put gas in their cars to get to work, buy Rx medications, paying their utility bills, going out in their communities without the threat of being a victim of crimes because of criminals being let out on our streets or illegals flouting their disregard of our laws?! First of all, if you don’t want an unintended pregnancy, have you ever heard of birth control? There are plenty of safe and effective methods out there. In addition and unfortunately, NM is probably has the most abortion centers per capita than any other state in the US without any restrictions, so why do you need a national mandate? Some things are better left to the states. Think about the entire picture of what’s going on in this country.
In the last couple paragraphs, the leftist said…action over words. What are you doing for RPNM? Go online and volunteer for something, the time for opinions and complaints are not helpful. Early voting is coming quick and many things to DO! If you don’t try or work to win..you gave up, you want others to do it all, you are a negative I told you so. Just saying 🇺🇸
So is the REAL Kamala tough or soft on crime?
Will the REAL Kamala please stand up?
Lord have mercy on America if this cackling flatbacker gets in to office! Any and all white males will become a target,blue collar workers will be over burdened with taxes!
It really irks me that I hear the same words from EVERY Demoncrat:
“We must protect DEMOCRACY”
“We must maintain DEMOCRACY in the US”
Democracy this; Democroacy that.
When are the eight foot thick skulls who call themselves “Democrats” going to remember that the USA is NOT A DEMOCRACY!!!! IT IS A REPUBLIC!
Recite the Pledge of Allegiance: And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands!!!!
Democracy has NO checks and balances. Republics have a system of checks and balances that are supposed to keep government leaders under control.
The “Democrats” are the lunatics running the asylum.
