“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.”

While – pro-life groups – like Texas Alliance For Life see Harris as a threat to everything they’ve worked for.

“If Vice President Harris does firmly land on the Democratic ticket, she will continue that track record and at the end of the day, a crusade for abortion on demand up to birth at taxpayer expense, and even pushing for that at a federal level,” said Texas Alliance for Life communication director Amy O’Donnell.

“We are not in favor of any weakening exceptions,” said Amy O’Donnell with Texas Alliance for Life. “Children who are diagnosed with a disability in the womb or a fatal diagnosis in the womb are as worthy of protection as any other child. And we believe that the language is adequate to protect a mother’s life when a doctor needs to intervene to save her life or to avoid any risk.”

There is no timeline on when the Texas Supreme Court justices will issue a decision. They could leave the law as it is or let the injunction stand until further lower court arguments spell out more clearly what physicians can and cannot do when it comes to abortion in Texas.

A spokesperson for the Texas Alliance for Life, a pro-life organization, released this statement:

“We celebrate the long-anticipated overturning of Roe v. Wade and the greater number of lives now being saved in states across our nation and in the great state of Texas.

We applaud the measures our pro-life Governor, Lt Governor, Speaker, and legislators have taken to take care of both women and their unborn children, including increased funding for the state’s highly successful Alternatives to Abortion program, the provision of the Healthy Texas Women Program to provide for the healthcare needs of women, and the increase of Medicaid coverage for up to six months after birth for moms and 12 months for their babies.

We also applaud the Legislature for passing and Governor Abbott for signing HB 1280, the Human Life Protection Act, to completely protect unborn babies from abortion beginning at conception. That law will go into effect 30 days after the Supreme Court issues its judgment in the Dobbs case, expected any day.

We will continue to work to protect innocent human life, get pro-life candidates elected, educate women about the vast resources available to them, and partner with pro-life organizations to advance a culture of life across Texas.”
