Pojman said his group would continue promoting “compassionate alternatives to abortion,” including asking lawmakers for more state funding for “pro-life pregnancy resource centers centers” that provide parenting information to low-income women. He said his group was also pushing for a “wrongful birth” law that would prevent parents from suing a doctor who fails to warn them about fetal problems. Abortion rights activists have opposed similar proposals, which they say give doctors the right to withhold information so women don’t have abortions.
