Episode Details

New Mexico moves forward with building two taxpayer-funded reproductive clinics amid fierce backlash — one in Las Cruces, another in Northern New Mexico — as the state becomes a refuge for abortion seekers after neighboring states banned the procedure. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham backs the project, but religious groups are pressuring businesses to withdraw, with some complying under public pressure. One contractor stands firm, saying he’ll help build legal healthcare facilities as long as abortion remains legal in the state. Construction on the Las Cruces clinic is already underway, with opponents vowing to keep fighting — even praying for divine intervention — to stop the clinics from being completed. The debate underscores a deepening cultural divide over reproductive rights, as the governor insists these clinics are essential to uphold the will of New Mexico voters and provide critical care to residents and out-of-state patients.
