“We realize that there’s not a realistic way to ban abortions. They are going to remain readily available,” says Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, which helped write the state law. Given that, he says, “we believe that the states should protect the health and safety of women who are undergoing abortions.”

Overall funding for women’s health services is at a historic high in Texas; it’s just not going to clinics that perform abortions, said Joe Pojman, head of the anti-abortion group Texas Alliance for Life. This year, state lawmakers earmarked more than $130 million for services ranging from breast and cervical cancer screenings to family planning counseling and pregnancy centers, according to state figures.
Pojman and other abortion opponents got plenty of ammunition when abortion Dr. Kermit Gosnell was arrested in 2012 running a filthy and unregulated abortion clinic in Pennsylvania where at least one woman died. They say the Gosnell case shows that serious restrictions are needed on abortions, pointing out that the steps they are taking are no different than the steps regulators would take, for example, if a food company was found to be selling tainted food.

Last month I had the privilege of attending Texas Alliance for Life’s annual benefit dinner. It is crucial that we all continue our work to defend innocent life. I completely support the defunding of planned parenthood and I’m proud of my pro-life voting record which only shows my commitment to protecting innocent life and making it as difficult as possible for groups like Planned Parenthood to exist.

Recently, Whoopi Goldberg made the bold announcement that the Bible has nothing to say about the subject of abortion. An audacious statement, especially since Ms. Goldberg has no scholarly credentials in the field of theology.

“We are very encouraged,” said Joe Pojman of the Texas Alliance for Life. “We believe it is high time for the state’s inspectors to visit the few dozen Planned Parenthood sites in Texas to gather evidence of Medicaid fraud.”
