Romney Abortion Stance Highlights GOP Convention
Romney stated in a CBS interview that he opposes abortions except in rape, incest, or when the mother's life is at risk, a stance that contrasts with his running mate and the convention platform. The speech came as New Orleans faced Isaac and as weather concerns disrupted the event, with campaign focus on the economy and uncommitted voters.

Children Foundation aids New Mexico youth despite small grants
The New Mexico Children’s Foundation faces ongoing needs as status rises from 46th to 49th in child welfare. Since its 20 years, it has given about $1 million statewide and $94,292 in the Roswell area to small nonprofits, often lacking facilities like libraries. Grants range $2,000 to $6,000, funded by fundraisers including a $60,000 Santa Fe gala, with only one paid staffer, executive director Carol Robertson Lopez. The group supports start-ups like Wings for LIFE and Chaves County CASA, aiming to help recipients gain independent funding after initial grants.
