“While the Supreme Court tragically does not allow states to ban most abortions, we believe that Texas law should be changed to assure that the bodies of the victims of abortion are not treated like medical waste. These proposed rules validate the dignity of those unborn babies whose lives are unfortunately lost to abortion,” Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, said when the rules were proposed in July.

Joe Pojman with Texas Alliance for Life helped fight for the changes. “The legislature cannot protect that baby and the mother from abortion but at least the legislature can require that the remains can be treated in a humane and dignified manner,” Pojman said.

The executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life says he’d prefer to see people donate to organizations that provide what he called “compassionate alternatives to abortion.” But the pro-life group has not seen an increase in donors; however, they are looking forward to the upcoming legislative session.

“We are very disappointed with the Supreme Court’s decision,” said Joe Pojman, executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life. “The State of Texas will be unable to fully implement HB 2’s common sense regulations to protect the health and safety of women at substandard abortion facilities. Our work to protect mothers and unborn babies from abortion will continue.”

I asked Joe Pojman , executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, and a big supporter of the state’s anti-abortion law, if he was concerned that the harder it is to get an abortion in Texas, the more women will cross the border to get do-it-yourself abortions without a physician’s care.
“I just don’t see a time when abortion is not readily available in Texas,” Pojman says. “That is just not our goal. We have a goal of protecting innocent human life from conception until natural death, using peaceful, legal means and by promoting compassionate alternatives to abortion.”

“We regret that the FDA appears to be increasing the risk to the health and safety of women undergoing drug-induced abortions in their attempt to make those abortions cheaper and easier for abortion facilities to provide,” said Joe Pojman, executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life. “The FDA’s actions move Texas backward, not forward.”
