Reproductive Freedom Alliance files brief to protect access to reproductive healthcare, abortion medication
SANTA FE – Today, the Reproductive Freedom Alliance filed an amicus curiae brief with the Supreme Court in the case of Food and Drug Administration, et al., v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, arguing that, if the Court allows a recent Fifth Circuit decision to stand, it could undermine Governors’ ability to provide adequate healthcare services and would have far-reaching implications beyond reproductive healthcare.
“New Mexico has seen the impact of the Dobbs decision directly and has stepped up to provide reproductive health care for thousands of women who have lost access to services,” said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, one of 22 governors in the Alliance. “Millions more will lose access if this decision is allowed to stand. We cannot and will not allow that to happen.”

SANTA FE – Gov. Michelle Lujan unveiled a water action plan at the State Capitol Tuesday with the goal of ensuring New Mexicans will have access to clean water for the next five decades.
As one of the driest states in the west, New Mexico is no stranger to drought. Almost three-fourths of the state is currently experiencing severe to exceptional drought conditions. In 50 years, water experts predict the state will have 25 percent less water to use. Without decisive action, New Mexicans would have to dramatically adjust their way of life to adjust to a bleak water reality.
