“Today is very disappointing for us, we think the Supreme Court has made a very poor decision, and what it means is that tens of thousands of women can continue to be subjected to substandard abortions, and sometimes very abysmal abortion facilities that do not meet the ordinary standard of care,” said Joe Pojman, Texas Alliance for Life Executive Director.

“We are very disappointed with the Supreme Court’s decision,” said Joe Pojman, executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life. “The State of Texas will be unable to fully implement HB 2’s common sense regulations to protect the health and safety of women at substandard abortion facilities. Our work to protect mothers and unborn babies from abortion will continue.”

Pojman says anti- abortion legislation in the next session may focus on further limiting when a woman can have an abortion and under what circumstance. Texas currently bans abortions after 20-weeks of pregnancy.

“What it means is that the state of Texas cannot properly protect the health and safety of women at these substandard abortion facilities. They get a free ride and can perform abortions at a very low standard of care,” said Pojman.
