Susana Martinez did not publicly endorse the abortion ban, by the way.
Her 2010 pro-Life principles seem to have disappeared as the next election comes closer.
There does not seem to have been an “umbrella” organization for pro-Life voters in Albuquerque.
I can't find any individual Hispanic organizations that supported the ban.
On the other side, pro-Abortion groups organized under one name, and La Raza and SEIU(a heavily Hispanic union) joined with them.
Eight state legislators with Hispanic last names, most of them local to Albuquerque, also went pro-Abortion.
I think a lot of pro-Life folks have swallowed the Wall Street Journal and Karl Rove propaganda that Hispanics vote pro-Life.
They are wrong.
In poll after poll, Hispanics overwhelmingly describe themselves as “Conservatives.”
But, in election after election, Hispanics overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.
One final note.
The Pew Hispanic Center, which does the most accurate Hispanic polling, conducted a poll just before the 2010 election.
They asked Hispanics to rank their top ten political issues.
Abortion came in at Number 8.
Another article posted today said the infanticide forces outspent the pro-life forces by a margin of 4-to-1. That’s hard to overcome. If the spending had been the other way around, I think we can guess what the outcome would’ve been.
