Joe Pojman, founder and executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life, said his focus is on shoring up alternatives to abortion, potentially with more state funding.

Neither Seago or Pojman expect to see efforts to restrict Texans from traveling out-of-state for abortions. Pojman in particular said a travel ban would be unconstitutional.

According to Seago, while there are policies on the table to prevent minors from being taken for out-of-state abortion care without parental approval, he and other abortion opponents are not seeking to restrict adults’ travel.

The Texas Human Life Protection Act protects unborn children from abortion, by surgical and chemical methods, except when medically necessary to prevent the loss of the mother’s life or health. That law empowers the Texas Attorney General to bring a lawsuit against violators for at least $100,000 per violation. Texas law further prohibits the distribution of abortion-inducing drugs through courier, delivery, or mail services and telemedicine prescriptions from out-of-state doctors who do not possess a full Texas medical license.

“This case underscores the importance of protecting the health and safety of women and unborn babies in Texas,” said Amy O’Donnell, Communications Director for Texas Alliance for Life. “When an out-of-state doctor flagrantly violates our laws and endangers women’s lives, accountability is critical. Texas’ pro-life laws exist to protect women and babies, and this lawsuit is a necessary step in defending those protections.”

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.”
