  • In 2015, Mike Lonergan, Susana Martinez's spokesman, said Martinez "is pro-life, which would of course include opposition to late-term abortions." He also said Martinez "believes parents should be notified before a minor can have an abortion," according to The New York Times.[1]
  • In June 2014, Protest ABQ, an anti-abortion group, criticized Martinez for not doing enough to protect the lives of the unborn. Tara Shaver, a spokeswoman for Protect ABQ, said, "She has power; she’s just not willing to use it and it’s very disappointing, especially because she’s saying she’s pro-life. That’s why we are holding her to a higher standard, because she has made that claim, yet she hasn’t done anything."[2]
  • In response, Enrique Knell, a Martinez spokesman, said, "The governor has been crystal clear that she is pro-life. … She isn’t going to be bullied by a small group of fringe protesters within the pro-life movement."[2]
  • The Susan B. Anthony List endorsed Martinez during her 2010 campaign. SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser said, "As a district attorney, Susana Martinez has worked to protect children and families while Diane Denish, an honorary board member of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL), opposes commonsense parental notification laws which ensure that parents are notified if their underage daughter seeks an abortion. We are proud to support Susana Martinez’s candidacy for Governor because she is the better candidate for women and families across New Mexico."[3]
