The governor of the state of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grishan, has expressed her fear that abortion will be banned in the United States at the national level given the »current drift» of restrictions imposed on access to voluntary termination of pregnancy in the North American country.
It’s about any social issue that you don’t agree with, whether it’s stem cell research, fertility, drug use… whatever it is, in this context, if we are going to use the federal courts as a way to ban access we could run into this measure,» she said in statements to the CBS television network.
Her words come after he signed two bills to protect access to abortion for those who practice it in the southern state of the country after the state of Texas approved suspending the use of the abortion pill, a case that was later appealed before an appeals court.
With the future of the pill tied to the court decision, several states have begun to take action. In the case of New Mexico, Lujan has assured that «they are ensuring that there is full access to this type of medication.
«We have to protect access rather than minimize the work to ensure that families and women are fully protected,» she said, before insisting that »New Mexico’s position is that we cannot intervene in a woman’s medical right to make a decision on a potentially life-threatening issue».
