“The latest report reaffirms that Kamala Harris’ dire claims about Texas’ protective abortion laws are completely baseless,” Amy O’Donnell, Texas Alliance for Life’s communications director, said of the data in a press release. “Texas’ laws continue to save unborn babies from abortion while also protecting women’s lives in those rare and tragic cases where pregnancy endangers a pregnant woman’s life or health.”

“What they’re promoting is far from freedom,” Texas Alliance for Life stated.“[I]t’s the most radical push for abortion on demand that we’ve ever seen at the expense of unborn babies’ lives.”
According to the pro-life organization, the DNC was marked by claims that pro-life laws are harming women by denying life-saving care, with a particular emphasis on the case of Amanda Zurawski.
Zurawski’s story, shared by the DNC, recounts how, at 18 weeks pregnant, her water broke. Zurawski was told that her life was at risk, but that the baby was still alive. She was instructed to wait for an abortion until the baby either died or she showed signs of severe infection. Her doctor’s delay in treatment caused Zurawski to develop sepsis, putting her life in great danger.
According to Texas Alliance for Life, Zurawki’s story has been “misrepresented” for over a year, and it is widely and incorrectly believed that Amanda Zurawski’s life was risked because of restrictions on abortion.
However, Texas Alliance for Life clarified that Texas law permits immediate abortions to protect a woman’s life, and that the delay in Zurawski’s case was a result of medical mismanagement rather than legal restrictions.

“Our laws allow physicians to perform life saving abortions as necessary to save a woman’s life. There’s no conflict there,” Amy O’Donnell, communications director for Texas Alliance for Life, told Spectrum News.
“It is heartbreaking to hear of any family facing a tragic diagnosis for their unborn child,” said Amy O’Donnell, Texas Alliance for Life’s Communications Director. “At the same time, Texas Alliance for Life does not support taking the life of an unborn child because of a life-limiting or fatal diagnosis.”

The groups that advocated for the bans, however, maintain that medical exceptions to the ban protect women’s lives and health while preserving the fetuses they carry. Texas Alliance for Life in monthly news releases has highlighted that between 1 in 10 “medical-necessity” abortions have been recorded in Texas each month since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
