Dear KKIM Family,
URGENT! – A bill to remove all limits on abortion in New Mexico is being heard in the House Public Affairs Committee Tuesday, February 3, at 1:30 in room 315. This bill will also prevent any new protections of the unborn to ever become law in our state. Please arrive at the Capitol at 12:00 noon in Room 315 to stand on behalf of the unborn.
Even thou the Domestic Partnership bill (Same Sex Marriage) was a 5 to 5 tie in the Senate Judiciary Committee it is not dead yet. Senator Sanchez did not vote…..We are trying to nail down why. Our reporters and contacts are trying to find out if it is true that Governor Richardson called her to his office before the vote was taken. What is interesting, she did not vote no or yes…..she just left the meeting. Calls to her office were not returned. Also on New Mexico News and Views tonight Sate Rep. Nora Espinosa alerted us of the bill introduced in the House by Rep. Mimi Stewart of Albuquerque. Under her bill which according to Nora was not on the calendar, but will be tomorrow, 10 year olds will be able to have abortions without Parental approval………Doctor’s could be sued if they do not perform abortions. It is all in House bill 256. Stay tuned to KKIM for further details as they develop. I sure am having second thoughts about leaving this week for the National Religious Broadcasters Convention with all this going on. (Please pray for me) But Pastor Mark Tross and Pastor Leonard Navarre will have it all covered. Pam Wolfe of the Traditional Values Action Committee has a report for us and below that a message from Pastor/Congressman Bill Redmond.

From Bill Redmond…………..
IT TOOK OUR OPPONENTS LESS THAN AN HOUR AFTER THE DOMESTIC PARTNERS VOTE BEFORE THEY HIT US WITH ANOTHER PUNCH!
The New Mexico Version of Freedom of Choice Act which will REMOVE ALL RESTRICTIONS ON ABORTION IN NEW MEXICO NOW AND IN THE FUTURE will be heard in House Public Affairs Committee tomorrow, Tuesday, February 3, at 1:30.
Our adversaries think that once the Domestic Partners bill was voted on that we won’t return to Santa Fe. We have come to Santa Fe twice now to defend our civil rights. NOW IT IS ESSENTIAL WE RETURN TOMORROW TO SANTA FE TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF THOSE WHO CANNOT COME TO SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
I have no doubt that the opposition scheduled this so close to the Domestic Partners bill in hopes of wearing us down and discouraging us. But greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
Please come back=2 0to Santa Fe for the Public Affairs hearing at 1:30 tomorrow. We need to be in the room by noon. After more research in the next few hours I will send an update email to you before our heads hit our pillows for the rest the Lord has for us.
May Jesus bless you,
Congressman Bill Redmond
