The third annual Men’s March for Life will be held during the weekend of Father’s Day for the men of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe at Our Lady of Fatima in Albuquerque. This is a Men’s March because our society needs to see that men are not afraid to stand up for those who are the most defenseless among us and that men are proud to be fathers.

Late-Term Abortions Have Come to New Mexico.
Albuquerque is now considered the Late-Term Abortion Capital of the world. Late-term abortions are overwhelmingly opposed by the vast majority of Americans. According to one Gallup Poll, 68% oppose second trimester abortions and a stunning 84% oppose third trimester abortions. That disapproval is reflected in the law. In most states, abortions after viability are either illegal or highly regulated. is legal to have an abortion up to the day of birth.
Get Involved with The Gabriel Project at Your Local Parish
Baby Angel was born 9 weeks early and weighed only 4.16 lbs. Ten days after his birth he took a turn for the worse. Father Stephen was called and asked to baptise baby Angel. After the baptism, Angel started doing remarkably well, and is now a healthy baby boy. Help babies like Angel by getting involved with The Gabriel Project in your local parish or by donating to Project Defending Life today.
