Tuesday November 16. In front of one of the three abortion clinics in Albuquerque, the main city of New Mexico, a small group of pro-life activists call out to the women who enter the building, posed along a fast lane that runs towards the surrounding mountains. “Alternatives exist! We just want to talk! ” they say, armed with signs.
Equipped with a front camera to film the interactions, Joseph Corrigan comes almost every day. He points to three cars parked in the parking lot. All are registered in Texas, the neighboring state. “There are a lot more of them than before,” he observes. The reason: since 1is September, the “Lone Star State” bans abortions as soon as cardiac activity is detected in the embryo, around six weeks, even for women victims of incest and rape. However, at this stage, most are unaware that they are pregnant. Only 15% of them undergo an abortion before this threshold.

Joe Corrigan is an aggressive meth head who milks his military benefits any way he can. He offers no support or alternatives for women coming to get healthcare at these clinics. When I asked him just TODAY what help he’s offering he said “anything in the world you could possibly need.” I asked for further details and he had none, just acting as if he can solve any problems when he lives in his semi truck… Come on man, get your life together and stop spending your time hating others. If you actually care about babies, support them instead of attacking women.
