Update 3\/23\/23:\u00a0<\/strong>Whole Women’s Health officially opened its new Albuquerque facility on Thursday, March 23. Per KUNM<\/a>, the property’s Lomas Blvd. NW location is just a short drive from the airport, as the abortion business hopes to target women traveling to take advantage of the state’s lenient abortion laws. The facility is currently offering abortions up to 18 weeks gestation, though it hopes to expand to offer even later-term 24-week abortions in the future.<\/p>\n

12\/12\/22:<\/strong>\u00a0An abortion chain with an abysmal history of health and safety violations is expanding to Albuquerque, New Mexico.<\/p>\n

According to a Facebook post from the pro-life group Abortion on Trial<\/a> (AOT), Stirrups, LLC \u2013 better known as Whole Woman\u2019s Health \u2013 intends to open a new abortion facility in the city of Albuquerque. AOT\u2019s attorney obtained a copy of the abortion company\u2019s real estate contract and posted it to Facebook. The contract shows it has entered into an agreement to acquire the property at 718 Lomas Blvd NW, valued at $760,000, for which the abortion business has agreed to a down payment of $190,000.<\/p>\n

The expansion of abortion in Albuquerque comes as some cities in the southeast of New Mexico have enacted, or are considering adopting, local ordinances effectively protecting all preborn lives \u2014\u00a0an initiative in line with a growing number of municipalities<\/a> throughout the nation. The city of Hobbs (pop. 40,508) \u2013 the seventh largest in the state \u2013 became one of the country\u2019s most recent cities to enact a measure<\/a> that will effectively make the city an abortion-free community. The city of Clovis had been considering a similar ordinance, but for now, that measure appears to have been halted, according to AOT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whole Woman\u2019s Health, founded in 2003, has operated abortion facilities in several states, and has a history of failing basic health inspections and endangering women. In 2016, Live Action News compiled a list<\/a> of Whole Woman’s Health’s most egregious health and safety violations dating back to 2007 and spanning dozens of serious problems across multiple facilities.<\/p>\n

As Live Action News\u00a0reported<\/a> again in 2019, the abortion chain continued to have serious problems, including:<\/p>\n
