I d like to bring these legislative bills from New Mexico that passed and were signed -- HB 7 Reproductive and Gender-Affirming Healthcare, and SB 13 Reproductive Health Provider Protections.

We passed legislation to protect women seeking abortions and individuals seeking gender-affirming care and their health providers from harassment and threats. Given the race in many states to pass legislation to punish, even criminalize, women and their providers, it is refreshing to see NM demonstrated regional and national leadership on this issue. Rep. Andrea Romero did a stellar job on the House floor fending off GOP questions and amendments.

Hope-- this is hope. May other states, politicians find the courage to do the right thing.

We are in this together.

This legislation was an answer to the legislation being passed in Texas. Texas wants to prosecute anyone coming to New Mexico for procedures they deem illegal.

This is the response to Texas and to Dobbs.

Does the SCOTUS originalists with their states rights political polarization intend war between the states over the right of women and people to opt for their healthcare? It appears to be the the case.

The line is in the sand.
