New Mexico enacts law protecting abortion providers.

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed a bill that protects abortion providers from prosecution, professional disciplinary action, or extradition attempts by out-of-state interests. The new law also protects medical providers when it comes to gender-affirming health care without regard to the age of patients. New Mexico is increasingly seen as a destination for abortion patients traveling from states including Texas that have banned abortion, or those imposing major restrictions. The governor has framed safeguards for abortion access in New Mexico in a broader context as a cornerstone of women's equality and democratic engagement.
