Michelle Lujan Grisham\u2019s radical abortion agenda, the City Council of Hobbs, New Mexico, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koat.com\/article\/hobbs-council-abortion-clinics-operation-ordinance\/41939751\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unanimously voted<\/a> last week to become a sanctuary city for the unborn.<\/p>\n<p>Overwhelming support for and passage of the ordinance mean abortion is now classified as murder and outlawed within Hobbs city limits. It also means that any blue politicians or abortion facilities that try to go against the city\u2019s wishes could face an uphill legal battle. <\/p>\n<p>The vote was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.state.nm.us\/2022\/11\/07\/gov-statement-on-hobbs-city-commission-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vehemently opposed<\/a> by Lujan Grisham, who called the architects of the ordinance \u201cout-of-state extremists.\u201d The governor\u2019s reaction is no surprise considering her own history of abortion extremism. <\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the Supreme Court\u2019s <em>Dobbs v. Jackson<\/em> decision, Lujan Grisham signed an executive order designating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.state.nm.us\/2022\/08\/31\/gov-lujan-grisham-signs-executive-order-expanding-access-to-reproductive-health-care-in-new-mexico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$10 million in taxpayer funds<\/a> toward the development of an abortion facility in Do\u00f1a Ana County, an area that shares a border with El Paso, Texas. That was just a couple of months after Lujan Grisham signed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.state.nm.us\/2022\/06\/27\/gov-lujan-grisham-takes-action-to-safeguard-abortion-access-protect-new-mexico-health-care-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an executive order<\/a> \u201cprotecting medical providers from attempts at legal retribution\u201d for granting abortions and refusing to comply with other states\u2019 abortion extradition laws. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs more states move to restrict and prohibit access to reproductive care, New Mexico will continue to not only protect access to abortion, but to expand and strengthen reproductive health care throughout the state,\u201d Lujan Grisham said in a statement. \u201cToday, I reaffirm my resolve to make sure that women and families in New Mexico \u2014 and beyond \u2014 are supported at every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since then, abortion dominated the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/2022-midterm-elections-abortion-health-albuquerque-4feb29b98514a70784a9ae640a40b938\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">state\u2019s political scene<\/a> and even became a focal point in Lujan Grisham\u2019s re-election race against Republican challenger Mark Ronchetti.<\/p>\n<p>Amy Hagstrom Miller, the CEO of Whole Woman\u2019s Health, one of the nation\u2019s largest dealers of abortion, previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/new-frontline-us-abortion-battles-emerges-new-mexico-2022-10-26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told Reuters<\/a> that Lujan Grisham\u2019s friendliness toward abortion led her to consider relocating some of their Texas facilities closer to the border with New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>The goal was to offer abortion to women in neighboring Texas cities such as Lubbock, which voted to become a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/05\/03\/lubbock-texas-abolishes-abortion-to-become-largest-sanctuary-city-for-the-unborn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sanctuary city for the unborn<\/a> in May of 2021, following the Lone Star State\u2019s ban on abortion via the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/09\/28\/the-texas-heartbeat-act-is-saving-100-babies-lives-every-single-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas Heartbeat Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Residents of Hobbs, a nearly 40,000-person town, however, weren\u2019t taking any chances on getting swept up in Lujan Grisham\u2019s pro-abortion executive spree. The pro-life community in Hobbs as well as the nearby city of Clovis revolted with the introduction of ordinances designed to protect unborn babies.<\/p>\n<p>The threat of legal challenges thanks to widespread support for those sanctuary city ordinances, Hagstrom Miller confessed, \u201chas given her pause about operating in eastern New Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this post-Dobbs era, where anti-abortion folks are emboldened, I want to be sure we\u2019re in a place where our patients can be safe, where our doctors and our staff can be safe,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Clovis City Commission postponed its vote on the ordinance so it can <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20221114071229\/https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/new-mexico-town-delays-banning-abortion-2022-11-04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cperfect the language to better protect against litigation<\/a>,\u201d but all eight members are expected to vote in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pro-life movements in Texas and New Mexico have been so effective recently that they&#8217;ve even earned the wrath of the Biden White House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":490,"featured_media":1740643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1740640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1740640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/490"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1740640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1740640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1740643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1740640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1740640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1740640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
