New Mexico starts building an abortion clinic to serve neighboring states, train medical students
Construction is getting underway on a state-funded reproductive health and abortion clinic in southern New Mexico that will cater to local residents and people who travel from neighboring states such as Texas and Oklahoma with major restrictions on abortion, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Thursday.
Construction of the clinic will draw upon $10 million in state funding that was set aside by the governor under a 2022 executive order. New Mexico has one of the country’s most liberal abortion-access laws.
Lujan Grisham, a second-term Democrat who can’t run again in 2026, reiterated her commitment to shoring up abortion access in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and revoked universal access to abortion.

Every blue state should have free abortion and pay it with federal money, that way even the red states will help pay for the mess that they have made.
Red states take more federal money than they give back.
AKA, Welfare States.
Glorifying failure always has a cost. The trick is to fool someone else into paying those costs.
All I want is a future in which the term "Abortion Tourism" no longer exists.
How long before Oklahoma and Texas put road blocks against people trying to go into New Mexico?
Kansas is a pretty state to drive through, I'd be willing to bet Colorado is too.
That and a MASSIVE amount of Oklahoma and Texas is empty flat land that is probably (relatively) easy to offroad if absolutely necessary.
