Lujan Grisham promises action abortion in second term
Finally, Lujan Grisham vowed to codify the right to get an abortion. While abortion is legal at all stages of pregnancy in New Mexico, this could be changed by a future governor or Legislature, since the U.S. Supreme Court in June overturned prior precedents guaranteeing the right to an abortion during the first two trimesters and returned the decision to the states. Abortion was a major issue during the gubernatorial campaign, with Lujan Grisham campaigning hard on protecting abortion rights.
“Never again for all of time will a woman in the state of New Mexico have anything less than full bodily autonomy and freedom of choice,” Lujan Grisham said.
Lujan Grisham said she also plans to continue work started during her first term on early childhood education and care, economic growth and environmental stewardship. She also promised to fight poverty and homelessness by expanding access to affordable housing and free child care.
