Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham quote about the courts going beyond banning access to abortion
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico was interviewed on Face the Nation. New Mexico is recognized as a sanctuary for abortion access due to its proximity to several states with limited abortion rights. She is concerned that future federal court rulings may go beyond prohibiting access to abortion:
“It’s every social issue that you disagree with. It is stem cell research? Is it fertility drugs? Whatever it is in this context, if we’re going to use the federal courts as a way to bar and ban access, we are looking at a national abortion ban and more. And I think states have to ban together to do as much as they can in opposition to that.”
