Joe Pojman, executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life, called J’s situation “heartbreaking” and said he wished that her sister had guided the teenager to one of the dozens of state-funded crisis pregnancy centers in Houston.

“I wish the sister would have helped her sibling find an agency in Houston to help her give birth to the child,” Pojman said. “It’s a tragedy that this woman would want to go to extreme lengths to end her pregnancy rather than go to one of these centers that is probably within 10 miles of where she lives so she could successfully carry the child, give birth, and give them up for adoption if that’s her decision.”

J called Pojman’s view “inconsiderate and ignorant.”

“Deaths are tragic and preventable deaths even more so,” said Texas Alliance For Life communications director Amy O’Donnell.

O’Donnell said doctors shouldn’t be confused about the law, and that even in 2021 it was clear. She said Barnica deserved a doctor who understood the law.

“They want to place blame where blame does not fall,” said O’Donnell. “Physicians have to provide the standard of care exercising their reasonable medical judgment to perform life-saving abortions before the threat to a mother’s life is imminent, and Texas law allows that.”

Joe Pojman, director of the pro-life Texas Alliance for Life, criticized the Find Out PAC for attempting to “legislate from the bench” to push its abortion agenda after defeats in the legislature.

Referring to the abortion lobby group, Pojman told the American-Statesman in a recent interview, “They lost in the Legislature, so now they’re trying to get the court to legislate from the bench, and I think they’re misrepresenting that issue to voters. This PAC is lobbying the wrong body.”

Texas Alliance for Life and Texas Right to Life have both endorsed the Republican slate of state Supreme Court justices.

Amy O’Donnell, Director of Communications with Texas Alliance for Life, an anti-abortion group, supports the decision.

“Texas law allows doctors to exercise their reasonable medical judgment when they are treating a pregnant patient who has a condition that presents a threat to her life, or a threat of substantial risk of impairment of a major bodily function,” she said.

Donnell acknowledged that some of the plaintiffs named in the lawsuit should have received better care.

“We do believe that when a doctor needs to intervene [perform an abortion] to save a woman’s life, that protection does need to be in place,” she said.

But O’Donnell defends the law as it stands.

“Despite what they’re saying, that the laws are confusing or that women are being harmed, the law is very clear,” O’Donnell said.

For Joe Pojman, director of anti-abortion group Texas Alliance for Life, the Find Out PAC is barking up the wrong tree.

“They lost in the Legislature, so now they’re trying to get the court to legislate from the bench, and I think they’re misrepresenting that issue to voters,” Pojman said in an interview with the Statesman. “This PAC is lobbying the wrong body.”

Texas Alliance for Life and Texas Right to Life have both endorsed the Republican slate of state Supreme Court justices, with the latter group donating thousands per candidate, according to campaign finance reports. Pojman asserted that Texas Alliance for Life endorses based on judicial philosophy, not on the likelihood a justice will share its political beliefs.
