Late-term Abortion Ban and Parent Notice in New Mexico Bill

Many democrats have signed to support the bill which is reported to be heavily influenced by the church, and is expected to be introduced on Monday next week.

The idea is to bring New Mexico's abortion ban in line with another 42 states meaning that after 5 months, if the fetus is viable, a late-term Abortion would not be permitted. There are abviously exceptions in the cases of sexual abuse, rape, incest and if the woman's life would be at risk by continuing with the pregnancy.

"This is common-sense legislation that protects the life of the child after five months pregnancy," said Alamogordo Rep. Yvette Herrell, sponsor of the late-term Abortion bill in a public statement.

Under the new bill, any physician who performed a late-term Abortion would receive a fine of at least $5,000 and could lose their medical license for at least a year.

Republican Gov. Susana Martinez says "she is pro-life, which would of course include opposition to late-term abortions," her spokesman said, but she also believes that parents should be notified if their minor plans to undergo the procedure.

The opposition said that "the decision to have an Abortion later in pregnancy is one of the most private and personal decisions any family can be faced with. This decision belongs to a woman, her family, and her doctor, the government has no place in such a personal decision."

The same view is supported by Rep, Deborah Armstrong who says that the notification bill is unnecessary and that "These are heart-breaking situations and it's the last place that a politician should get involved"
