New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed an executive order Wednesday committing $10 million to build a new reproductive health care clinic near the state’s border with Texas.

The future clinic is set to be located in Doña Ana County, just northwest of El Paso, Texas, and will offer “the full spectrum of reproductive health care” – including abortion.

“As more states move to restrict and prohibit access to reproductive care, New Mexico will continue to not only protect access to abortion, but to expand and strengthen reproductive health care throughout the state,” Lujan Grisham said in a statement. “Today, I reaffirm my resolve to make sure that women and families in New Mexico – and beyond – are supported at every step of the way.”

In addition to abortion, the clinic will provide regular preventative care and other pregnancy services.

In a livestreamed news conference to sign the order, the governor noted that New Mexico has already seen an influx of people seeking abortions in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s June decision to overturn Roe v. Wade – as abortions have ceased in neighboring Texas and other states with “trigger” bans.

In June, Lujan Grisham signed an executive order barring state agencies or their employees from assisting criminal investigations by other states into providers or patients related to abortion services in New Mexico. 

Last year, state lawmakers repealed a dormant 1969 statute that outlawed most abortion procedures as felonies, ensuring access to abortion after the Supreme Court’s June ruling.

Lujan Grisham’s Wednesday move comes just 10 weeks before the Nov. 8 election, when the Democrat will face her Republican challenger Mark Ronchetti. The GOP candidate advocates limiting legal abortion to 15 weeks or cases of rape, incest and where a mother’s life is in jeopardy.

“Using taxpayer dollars to enable and fund abortion up until the point of birth is not only out of line with New Mexican values, it is extreme,” Ronchetti said in a statement after Wednesday’s executive order.
