The New Mexico Supreme Court has unanimously invalidated abortion restrictions imposed by several conservative cities and counties. This decision was met with approval from Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, who emphasized the significance of healthcare decisions remaining between women and their doctors, rather than being influenced by political agendas.

Governor Lujan Grisham stated, "Today’s unanimous Supreme Court decision affirms what we’ve known all along – healthcare decisions belong to New Mexican women and their doctors, not politicians." She further noted that while some communities might oppose this view, the state constitution and laws are explicit in protecting the fundamental rights of its citizens.

This ruling reinforces New Mexico's stance as a sanctuary for healthcare access and individual freedoms amid changing reproductive rights landscapes in neighboring states. The governor expressed her gratitude towards Attorney General Torrez and the Supreme Court for upholding the rule of law.

Governor Lujan Grisham also made it clear that under her leadership, New Mexico will resist any efforts to curtail reproductive healthcare access. "Let me be crystal clear: as long as I’m governor, New Mexico will fight any attempt to limit reproductive healthcare access," she declared.

The decision highlights ongoing debates surrounding reproductive rights within the United States, particularly at local levels where differing opinions often clash with state mandates.
