“Apparently, Joe Biden and his administration have determined that emergency rooms are no longer capable of providing care for both mother and child,” said Tobias. “The Biden Administration’s solution is to turn hospital emergency rooms into abortion facilities.”

Texas Alliance for Life’s Communications Director Amy O’Donnell agreed. Het state is also fighting Biden.

“EMTALA, which recognizes two patients in cases of pregnancy, the mother and the unborn child, requires hospitals to provide medically necessary care to stabilize both patients in emergency situations, which could include abortions in those rare and tragic cases when a pregnancy endangers a woman’s life. All states’ laws allow abortions in those circumstances, including the laws of Idaho and Texas,” she said.

O’Donnell, at the meeting of the Texas Medical Board. The Board will consider promulgating guidance to physicians treating women with pregnancies that risk the loss of a woman’s life or a major bodily function. The statement by Ms. O’Donnell emphasizes that Texas’ abortion laws have a medical-necessity exception to allow physicians to perform abortions in such rare and tragic cases. During the first 16 months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, doctors have performed 71 abortions under the medical-necessity exception, according to data from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, with no liability for the physicians.

I am here today to advocate for the Board to set forth rules explaining to physicians the meaning of the medical necessity section of the Human Life Protection Act, the law to protect unborn babies from abortion the Legislature passed in 2021 during the 87th Regular Session. We are grateful the board has taken this up for consideration today.

However, the ballot measure failed by a huge margin Saturday with 72 percent of voters opposed, according to the Texas Tribune.

Amy O’Donnell, communications director at Texas Alliance for Life, celebrated the victory after her organization spent months working to defeat the proposal.

“We are tremendously pleased to see that San Antonio voters have defeated Prop A so decisively,” O’Donnell said. “Prop A would have been tragic for unborn children and victims of trafficking who would have been left without the protection from abortion they deserve by San Antonio police.”

The proposed ordinance, Proposition A, came from pro-abortion groups and basically would have legalized the killing of unborn babies in abortions in San Antonio.

At the Austin rally, we listened to Dr. Joe Pojman, founder and director of Texas Alliance for Life. And as he spoke these words, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one in the crowd who realized we were living a dream come true.

He mentioned that Roe has been reversed and children can again be protected in law. He called it “an unmitigated victory…,” and it is.
