According to recent information from the Guttmacher Institute, the Land of Enchantment has seen the greatest uptick in abortions than any other state in the country. Elisa Martinez of the New Mexico Alliance for Life details that it has increased 220% over the last three years.
"It's a very tragic figure," she says. "The people of New Mexico don't want this abortion extremism that's descended upon our state. According to the CDC, the majority of these abortions are from out-of-state residents. The demand is not here in New Mexico but from out-of-state residents."
Meanwhile, medical facilities in the state have not adjusted their staffs to meet the increased demand of women who are injured by abortions. An abortionist at the University of New Mexico (UNM) claims women "are dying" as a result of some states' new abortion bans, but Martinez notes the hypocrisy.
"This same doctor, Dr. Lisa Hofler, who's the executive medical director at the University of New Mexico Hospital women's clinic, was sued recently for withholding life-saving medical care from a woman who died during an abortion," the pro-lifer relays.
Martinez's organization has uncovered that one abortion clinic alone is responsible for sending at least 51 medical emergencies to UNM Hospital.
And considering that the medical investigator's records show that Dr. Hofler's patient, Keisha Atkins, died from a "pulmonary embolism related to pregnancy," when she actually died from sepsis resulting from her elective late-term abortion, Martinez wonders if the medical investigator's office is covering up any additional deaths to protect the abortion industry.
