Albuquerque, February 15—Today, a progressive group of faith leaders, including The New Mexico Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice and Catholics for Choice, gathered at the Santa Fe Roundhouse to showcase an open letter declaring their support of abortion. The gathering follows a heated debate this Legislative Session over anti-life bills such as HB 7.
Robert Tso, pastor of Victory Life Church in Shiprock, New Mexico, and RPNM Executive Committee member, issued the following statement:
“More than ever, faith leaders need to speak up for life and confront progressive politics that seek to compromise God’s word. We should lead young women to the grace and love of Jesus Christ, not the abortion clinic. Our Christian faith does not stand for the murder of innocent life and as faith leaders, we must ‘let our yes be yes, and our no be no’ without compromise on this matter (Matthew 5:37). Scripture says, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you,’ affirming every unborn life has value and purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). Let us continue to pray for the end of abortion and for a state that honors the sanctity of life.”
The Republican Party of New Mexico strongly opposes anti-life bills like HB 7 and other legislation pushed by progressive Democrats that will solidify New Mexico as the nation’s abortion capital.
