Be a pro-life hero!
Almost all abortions are performed on healthy moms and healthy babies, usually because the mom feels she has no other choice.
Please help us give moms a better choice than abortion. Please join us in our work by volunteering for one of our many pro-life ministries. Contact one of the people listed on this page and become a pro-life hero to moms and babies in New Mexico!

The Moms Ministry at Project Defending Life offers a parenting program for our new moms every Wednesday evening. We encourage all pregnant moms to attend the classes. The class is divided into two parts; first we teach ‘nurturing care’ to educate our moms in the dynamics, discipline, joys and challenges of parenting and healthy relationships. The second part of the class is directed by a deacon who informs our moms of the truths of daily living in our world today incorporating information and knowledge on virtues, the commandments and beatitudes, parables, daily living of the gospel, baptism and sacraments . The program has certainly grown over the past 4 years. We now have on average 23 parents attending the class.
