Joe Pojman, director of the pro-life Texas Alliance for Life, criticized the Find Out PAC for attempting to “legislate from the bench” to push its abortion agenda after defeats in the legislature.

Referring to the abortion lobby group, Pojman told the American-Statesman in a recent interview, “They lost in the Legislature, so now they’re trying to get the court to legislate from the bench, and I think they’re misrepresenting that issue to voters. This PAC is lobbying the wrong body.”

Texas Alliance for Life and Texas Right to Life have both endorsed the Republican slate of state Supreme Court justices.

Amy O’Donnell, director of communications with Texas Alliance for Life, an anti-abortion group, supports the decision.

“Texas law allows doctors to exercise their reasonable medical judgment when they are treating a pregnant patient who has a condition that presents a threat to her life, or a threat of substantial risk of impairment of a major bodily function,” she said.

Donnell acknowledged that some of the plaintiffs named in the lawsuit should have received better care.

“We do believe that when a doctor needs to intervene to save a woman’s life, that protection does need to be in place,” she said.

But O’Donnell defends the law as it stands.

“Despite what they’re saying, that the laws are confusing or that women are being harmed, the law is very clear,” O’Donnell said.

“Texans have shown time and time again they support pro-life politics,” Seago said. “We’re very confident this trend will continue.”

Another anti-abortion group, Texas Alliance for Life, acknowledged the vote would be difficult to predict. Joe Pojman, founder and executive director of the Austin-based organization, said a ballot measure in Texas would attract a frenzied fight with out-of-state money.

“We’re a huge state of national interest and would likely draw a tremendous amount of money on both sides,” Pojman said. “It’s hard to say.”

For Joe Pojman, director of anti-abortion group Texas Alliance for Life, the Find Out PAC is barking up the wrong tree.

“They lost in the Legislature, so now they’re trying to get the court to legislate from the bench, and I think they’re misrepresenting that issue to voters,” Pojman said in an interview with the Statesman. “This PAC is lobbying the wrong body.”

Texas Alliance for Life and Texas Right to Life have both endorsed the Republican slate of state Supreme Court justices, with the latter group donating thousands per candidate, according to campaign finance reports. Pojman asserted that Texas Alliance for Life endorses based on judicial philosophy, not on the likelihood a justice will share its political beliefs.

“What they’re promoting is far from freedom,” Texas Alliance for Life stated.“[I]t’s the most radical push for abortion on demand that we’ve ever seen at the expense of unborn babies’ lives.”

According to the pro-life organization, the DNC was marked by claims that pro-life laws are harming women by denying life-saving care, with a particular emphasis on the case of Amanda Zurawski.

Zurawski’s story, shared by the DNC, recounts how, at 18 weeks pregnant, her water broke. Zurawski was told that her life was at risk, but that the baby was still alive. She was instructed to wait for an abortion until the baby either died or she showed signs of severe infection. Her doctor’s delay in treatment caused Zurawski to develop sepsis, putting her life in great danger.

According to Texas Alliance for Life, Zurawki’s story has been “misrepresented” for over a year, and it is widely and incorrectly believed that Amanda Zurawski’s life was risked because of restrictions on abortion.

However, Texas Alliance for Life clarified that Texas law permits immediate abortions to protect a woman’s life, and that the delay in Zurawski’s case was a result of medical mismanagement rather than legal restrictions.

Texas has a total ban on abortion, starting at conception– the only exemption is if the mother’s life is at risk; so this federal directive is already written into state law.

Texas Alliance for Life spokeswoman, Amy O’Donnell said, “We know that there are some organizations who want to put laws in place that prosecute women who seek abortion; Texas Alliance for Life does not support those laws.”
