THE NEW MEXICO ALLIANCE FOR LIFE AND A STATE SENATOR STRONGLY OPPOSE A BILL THEY SAY WOULD FORCE CHRISTIAN HEALTH CARE WORKERS AND HOSPITALS TO PERFORM ABORTIONS. THE MEASURE IS FROM SENATOR GERALD ORTIZ Y PINO, WHO SAYS IT’S MEANT TO ENSURE A WOMAN IS TREATED FOR ANY REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ISSUE AT A NEW MEXICO HOSPITAL.
BUT ELIZA MARTINEZ WITH THE ALLIANCE TELLS US HOSPITALS THAT DON’T COMPLY WOULD FACE CONSEQUENCES. SHE SAYS HEALTH CARE WORKERS WHO DON’T COMPLY WOULD BE HIT WITH A FINE OF UP TO 5-THOUSAND DOLLARS.
THE ALLIANCE AND SENATOR BILL SHARER PLAN TO INFORM THE FAITH BASED COMMUNITY IN HOPES OF GENERATING STRONG OPPOSITION TO BLOCK THE BILL.
