Abortion Biz Closes in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Abortion Free New Mexico (AFNM) has confirmed that Alamo Women’s Clinic has closed its Montgomery Boulevard location in Albuquerque after clinic staff stated during a recorded undercover telephone call that patients seeking appointments are now being directed to Southwestern Women’s Options at 522 Lomas Blvd. NE.
The discovery began during Abortion Free New Mexico’s weekly prayer walk on Saturday, July 11, when volunteers observed furniture, equipment, and other items being removed from the Montgomery abortion facility, indicating the clinic was vacating the property.
To verify what volunteers had witnessed, Tara Shaver, a leader with Abortion Free New Mexico, placed the undercover call call to Alamo Women’s Clinic on July 14, posing as a prospective patient seeking an abortion appointment at the Montgomery location.

Shaver asked:
I was wondering about scheduling an abortion appointment at your Montgomery location.”
An Alamo Women’s Clinic employee responded:
“I can definitely help you get scheduled, but just some upfront kind of knowledge on our recent changes—we’ve recently merged with the Southwestern clinic (Southwestern Women’s Options), so we are down the street now at 522 Lomas. Same doctor, same staff owns both of them. So now it’s one location.”
The employee confirmed that patients seeking appointments at the former Montgomery location are now being directed to Southwestern Women’s Options, where the two operations have been combined at a single Albuquerque facility.
Although Alamo Women’s Clinic’s website continued to list both Albuquerque locations at the time of publication, the staff confirmed that the Montgomery office is no longer serving patients. Southwestern Women’s Options currently describes itself as the “sister clinic to Alamo Women’s Clinic.”
It remains unclear whether the Alamo Women’s Clinic name will continue to be used as a separate brand. What has been confirmed is that the Montgomery location has closed and operations have been moved to the Lomas facility.
Consolidation Under Common Ownership
Abortion Free New Mexico previously reported in 2024 that abortionist Alan Braid became the owner of both Alamo Women’s Clinic of Albuquerque and Southwestern Women’s Options, the late-term abortion facility formerly owned by abortionist Curtis Boyd.
According to clinic staff, the two facilities now operate under the same ownership with the same physician and staff from a single Albuquerque location.
The closure marks another significant development in New Mexico’s abortion industry, with abortion services previously offered at two Albuquerque locations now operating from a single facility under common ownership.
This undercover call confirmed what our volunteers first observed during Saturday’s prayer walk,” said Tara Shaver, leader with Abortion Free New Mexico. “After witnessing the Montgomery clinic being emptied, we sought to verify what was taking place. The clinic itself confirmed that patients are now being directed to Southwestern Women’s Options, where operations have been consolidated into one location.”
Years of Faithful Sidewalk Ministry
For years, Abortion Free New Mexico maintained a weekly sidewalk outreach ministry outside the Montgomery facility, offering women prayer, compassionate support, practical resources, and life-affirming alternatives to abortion.
Located in a commercial strip mall alongside two dental offices and adjacent to First Christian Church of Albuquerque, the facility became the site of thousands of sidewalk conversations, prayers, Gospel presentations, and offers of assistance to women facing unexpected pregnancies. Through this faithful outreach, Abortion Free New Mexico witnessed numerous mothers choose life and provided practical assistance, prayer, and ongoing support to many other women and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Abortion Free New Mexico also experienced ongoing challenges at this location. While some neighboring businesses expressed frustration over the activity surrounding the abortion facility, AFNM volunteers remained committed to peaceful, constitutionally protected prayer and sidewalk counseling. AFNM maintains that the recurring disruptions associated with the property stemmed from the abortion facility’s operations and the public response they generated—not from the ministry’s peaceful outreach.
The closure of this location marks the end of years of faithful ministry outside the Montgomery facility,” Shaver added. We thank God for every opportunity to pray, share the Gospel, offer practical support, and encourage women to choose life. While this chapter has come to a close, our mission has not. We will continue serving women and families with compassion, truth, and the hope of Jesus Christ wherever abortion facilities continue to operate until every preborn child is valued and protected.”
AFNM Will Continue Monitoring the Transition
Abortion Free New Mexico will continue monitoring the transition, including any changes to licensing, corporate records, branding, and the number of abortion facilities operating in Albuquerque.
