“It is heartbreaking to hear of any family facing a tragic diagnosis for their unborn child,” said Amy O’Donnell, Texas Alliance for Life’s Communications Director. “At the same time, Texas Alliance for Life does not support taking the life of an unborn child because of a life-limiting or fatal diagnosis.”

The Texas Alliance for Life observed that “for the first 21 months following the United States Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade … reported elective abortions in Texas have consistently dropped from thousands per month to zero.”
A new report is proving that the Lone Star State’s pro-life laws are working, with elective abortions dropping to “zero.” According to the Texas Alliance for Life and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, there have been less than 70 elective abortions in Texas since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and absolutely none over the course of the past two years. The Texas Alliance for Life observed that “for the first 21 months following the United States Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade … reported elective abortions in Texas have consistently dropped from thousands per month to zero.”
In the months preceding the Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs decision, elective abortions in Texas exceeded 2,000 per month. January 2022 saw 2,531 elective abortions, February saw 2,513, March and April each saw over 3,000, and May and June each saw in excess of 2,500. Following the Supreme Court’s ruling at the end of June, elective abortions dropped off steeply — to only 67 in July of 2022. Beginning in August of 2022, as Texas’s “Human Life Protection Act” went into effect, absolutely zero elective abortions have been reported.

“Lives are at stake in this conversation,” Texas Alliance for Life Amy O’Donnell said.
“It’s tragic that people are crusading around in this bus advocating about taking unborn babies’ lives and in so doing, misrepresenting our law, misrepresenting the poor medical care that some of them received and trying to blame it on our laws,” O’Donnell said.

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.

Dr. Joe Pojman, Executive Director of Texas Alliance for Life, told Campus Reform: “We are saddened that the WRA appears to provide no resources or referrals for students with unplanned pregnancies who desire or might desire to continue their pregnancies to birth and keep the baby or place the baby for adoption. Surely pregnancy, parenting, and adoption are choices that should be made available.”
