Home to a Democratic-led legislature and governor, New Mexico recently took an extra step to protect providers and patients from out-of-state prosecutions. It's likely to continue to experience a steady influx of people seeking abortions from neighboring states with more restrictive abortion laws. "It's the intent of these laws that Texas has been passing over the last year or two is to drive abortion out of the state," said David Coale, who is a constitutional law attorney.There's also SB8, the so-called "Heartbeat Act," passed by the state legislature in September of last year.
