Texas Alliance for Life Executive Director Joe Pojman said his organization does not support Texans gaining the ability to initiate constitutional referendums. He argued the legislature, where the anti-abortion movement has had success in gaining political clout, is the best avenue for debating sensitive issues.

Joe Pojman, the founder and executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life, is also astonished by the rise of telehealth abortion – for entirely different reasons.
“It makes no sense that any responsible doctor would send pills to a woman out of state without ever examining that person personally, and without having a license to practice medicine in Texas,” said Pojman, who also asserted that medication abortion is dangerous, despite more than 100 studies finding it to be safe and effective. “If it were happening in any other specialty of medicine, I think people would be outraged.”

A U.S. study released last month estimates that 64,000 women and girls became pregnant from rape in states that have implemented abortion bans.

“I think they see that the laws that we have are working as the Legislature intended,” said Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life. “The laws are saving babies and saving women’s lives.”

“We have so much to celebrate,” Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, said from the podium. “It is estimated that approximately 10,000 babies are alive in Texas today who would not be if the state of Texas had not chosen to support unborn life.”

Texas Alliance for Life has been oddly silent since the release of the study, sending out a single tweet saying, “A child conceived in rape does not deserve to be killed for the crime of his father.” Though the rally promises to promote the “vast resources” available for pregnant Texans, speakers include representatives of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, a radical anti-abortion think tank that promotes misinformation, such as that fetuses can experience pain at 15 week (the current scientific consensus is 23-24 weeks)
