Withdraw New Mexico Bill Criminalizing Abortion by Rape Victims

The Issue

The American public is sick and tired of politicians curtailing reproductive rights by attacking rape victims. Rape is a heinous crime that removes a victim's power and control of her own body. Any legislation that likewise removes a women's ability to address the negative consequences of rape, which includes pregnancy, is furthering the violation of her body. Victims should have rights to healthcare and the private decisions they make to cope with the horror done to them should remain private and not the substance of offense State legislation.
