Texas Alliance for Life, another anti-abortion group, wants continued support for the state’s Thriving Texas Families Program to help connect women with an unplanned pregnancy with resources, said Jo Pojman, the group’s executive director. He doesn’t expect major changes to Texas’ current laws restricting abortion access. As for extending criminal penalties to abortion patients: “We think that’s a terrible idea,” he said.

Amy O’Donnell, directora de comunicación de Texas Alliance for Life, dijo que el resultado del estudio no es ninguna sorpresa porque la tasa de natalidad en Texas ha aumentado después de la aprobación de la ley y que por lo tanto las muertes de bebés aumentan también.

“Perder a un hijo es difícil, pero abortar a ese niño no elimina la pérdida; le quita al bebé no nacido y a la familia tiempo juntos, por corto que sea”, dijo en una declaración. “La vida de los bebés a los que se les diagnostica discapacidades fatales o limitantes vale y merecen ser tratados con dignidad”.
The Texas Alliance for Life responded to the letter by saying the Biden administration “falsely suggests that Idaho and other state pro-life laws fail to protect women facing life-threatening emergencies during pregnancy.”
“This is untrue,” the anti-abortion group said in a statement. “All state pro-life laws provide an abortion exception for those rare but tragic circumstances in which a pregnancy poses a threat to a mother’s life, including circumstances when death is not imminent. Those include Texas and Idaho.”

Texas has a total ban on abortion, starting at conception– the only exemption is if the mother’s life is at risk; so this federal directive is already written into state law.
Texas Alliance for Life spokeswoman, Amy O’Donnell said, “We know that there are some organizations who want to put laws in place that prosecute women who seek abortion; Texas Alliance for Life does not support those laws.”
