. . . New Mexico's largest city is believed to be the first municipality in the country to place such an initiative on a ballot.
The "Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance," which needs a majority to pass, would have statewide impact because the only late-term abortion providers in the largely rural state are in Albuquerque.
Women living out of state also fly to Albuquerque for this type of care, said Micaela Cadena, policy director at Young Women United. The New Mexico-based group is part of the Respect ABQ Women campaign, which is fighting the local measure.
To get the measure on the ballot, Operation Rescue and other antiabortion groups gathered 27,000 signatures — more than twice the number the city requires. If successful, the ordinance could be implemented days after city officials certify the election.
Opponents of the measure, including state Atty. Gen. Gary King, have said they're prepared to sue if the measure passes.

From "Eyes on Albuquerque in New Mexico abortion fight" by Paige Winfield Cunningham, Politico 11/13/13
Albuquerque could become the first city in the country to pass a ban on abortions past 20 weeks of pregnancy after a vote next Tuesday.
Voters appear to support the measure, according to a September poll by the Albuquerque Journal that showed support at 54 percent and opposition at 39 percent. But there’s been a lot of advertising and activity on both sides since September, so the outcome isn’t certain.
. . . New Mexico Legislature, controlled by Democrats, is unlikely to take up the provision. So attention turned to Albuquerque.
[The Susan B. Anthony] List announced $100,000 in ad buys this week. Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union have each spent several hundred thousand dollars in efforts to defeat the measure.

From "Hotel Gives Discounts to Women Getting Late-Term Abortions at 25 Weeks" by Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com 11/15/13
The new undercover [video] recording features an investigator attempting to schedule a 25-week (six-plus-month) abortion appointment with Southwestern Women’s Options, that late-term abortion clinic. After specifying that the late-term abortion comprises a “week-long procedure,” the staffer directs the investigator to the Plaza Inn – “a hotel that we work in conjunction with” – which offers room rate discounts and free transportation to and from all appointments. The video shows definitively that the Plaza Inn is cooperating with Southwestern Women’s Options [SWO] abortionists to enhance revenues for both businesses.
In the undercover recording, the Plaza Inn staffer admits that under such circumstances, “you guys [SWO patients] actually transport yourselves[.] … I think you wind up going to the hospital[.]”
According to its website, the Plaza Inn, which boasts “the Best in Southwestern Hospitality,” is associated with three other hotels in the region: the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Colton/Riverside, CA; the Holiday Inn Express in Barstow, CA; and the Palmdale Hotel & Resort in Palmdale, CA.
