New Mexico is emerging as a key battleground between abortion providers and opponents after women started flocking in from other states in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision effectively striking down a national right to abortion.

It’s the Land of Enchantment’s proximity to several strongly Republican states that has made it a haven for women seeking the procedure. New Mexico shares a long border with Texas and has become a destination as well for women living in Oklahoma and Louisiana, among other states. All three have laws on the books that ban abortion in most circumstances, which went into effect after the June 24 Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
