According to the pro-life Southwest Coalition, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham \u2014 along with representatives from The University of New Mexico Health System and the Reproductive Health Care Success Project (which includes Planned Parenthood) \u2014held a “secret ribbon-cutting ceremony” on Thursday morning at the land in Las Cruces that will be home to Do\u00f1a Ana County’s fifth abortion facility under the University of New Mexico (UNM).<\/p>\n

While discussing the facility, Lujan Grisham called<\/a> access to abortion “a fundamental human right.” Two years ago, she pledged $10 million to build the new abortion campus, which will offer abortion procedures, abortion training, and research space. UNM has a history<\/a> of using aborted babies in fetal research and trafficking aborted baby body parts. Documents<\/a> obtained by attorney Mike Seibel revealed that the University of New Mexico ships the body parts of aborted babies across the United States and into Canada. Those babies, who suffered violent deaths, were then dissected and sold for parts including their brains, lungs, and eyes.<\/p>\n

The plot of land is located just minutes from the Texas and Mexico borders. Southwest Coalition CEO Mark Cavaliere said in an email that this shows that UNM is “clearly aiming to pull vulnerable women across state lines to expand abortion…”<\/p>\n

Lujan Grisham confirmed this plan, stating, “Once completed, this clinic will stand as a testament to our state’s commitment to reproductive freedom for residents of New Mexico, and also those who travel here from out-of-state in need of this care.” She also claimed the facility will be doing “primary care.”<\/p>\n

While it has not been noted how far into pregnancy the new facility will commit abortions, New Mexico has no limits<\/strong> on when or why abortion can be committed, and UNM is known to commit abortions through 23 weeks and 6 days<\/a> gestation (LMP).<\/p>\n

Michael Richards, interim executive vice president of UNM Health Sciences and CEO of the UNM Health System said the 8,000 square-foot facility, which will commit both chemical abortions (abortion pill) and surgical abortions, is expected to be completed in 12-18 months.<\/p>\n

“Or sooner,” Lujan Grisham added.<\/p>\n

The Center for Reproductive Health also plans to train medical and nursing students, and is getting started on that right away it appears. Eve Espey, chair of the Department of OB\/GYN at the UNM Health Sciences Center, said that UNM will send an abortionist to the Planned Parenthood location in Las Cruces over the course of the next few months to introduce surgical abortion to the staff there. She claimed that Planned Parenthood in Las Cruces “has a very limited, mostly medication abortion presence.” That Planned Parenthood location commits chemical abortions through 11 weeks<\/a> (past the FDA limit), but clearly plans on expanding into later-stage abortions thanks to UNM’s willingness to train the staff.<\/p>\n
