Has New Mexico State Representative Theresa Leger Fernandez Misrepresented the Facts About Born-Alive?
 January 16, 2023Has New Mexico State Representative Theresa Leger Fernandez Misrepresented the Facts About Born-Alive? Has New Mexico Representative Theresa Leger Fernandez misrepresented the facts in the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” which would require medical care for babies born alive after a failed abortion? Please Note: 1. The child is born, is alive, and is separate and apart from the mother’s body. 2. The mother sought an abortive procedure to rid herself of her child New Mexico’s Representative Theresa Leger Fernandez gave the following justification for voting “No.” on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Representative Theresa Leger Fernandez’s Statement: “I am wearing white today to oppose the extreme Republican bill that they have brought forth that would criminalize woman’s decisions they would make about their own bodies.” (The child has been born and is separate from the mother’s body.) “And in this case, about a baby that may be born and does not have viability.” (The name of the Act is “Born Alive,” born with viability.) They (the Republicans) would wrench that baby from the parent and force them to take it to a hospital and spend their last minutes hooked up to a machine rather than in the arms of the mother who loved that child. (The “loving mother” characterization is inconsistent with an abortive mother.) “That’s why I voted ‘no’ today on the “Parental Interference Act” which they are calling something else but it is not.” SEE https://twitter.com/hashtag/BansOffOurBodies?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1613364581828792320%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpinonpost.com%2Fleger-fernandez-defends-vote-against-bill-requiring-care-for-abortion-survivors%2F&src=hashtag_click |
