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.

“Texans have shown time and time again they support pro-life politics,” Seago said. “We’re very confident this trend will continue.”

Another anti-abortion group, Texas Alliance for Life, acknowledged the vote would be difficult to predict. Joe Pojman, founder and executive director of the Austin-based organization, said a ballot measure in Texas would attract a frenzied fight with out-of-state money.

“We’re a huge state of national interest and would likely draw a tremendous amount of money on both sides,” Pojman said. “It’s hard to say.”

“It seems to me this is another skewed study coming out at an election time that seeks to paint a dire picture,” said Amy O’Donnell with Texas Alliance for Life.

Anti-abortion advocates add the survey paints an unfair picture of a health crisis.

“Where we won’t have the number of OBGYNs necessary to meet the demands of our women, while at the same time saying that we don’t have any lack of residency spots being filled,” said O’Donnell.
