Women in El Paso can just go to New Mexico for an abortion, Joe Pojman, the executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life, said earlier this month. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg pointed out that New Mexico does not have restrictions like Texas’.

Citing “incredible” outside pressure, KentuckyOne Health has backed out of a contract to provide care at University of Louisville Hospital for any Planned Parenthood patient who might have unexpected complications from an abortion, according to a lawyer for the organization. “A rusty suction machine, faulty sterilizing fluid, a faulty sterilization machine, holes in the floor exposing the facility to rodents, expired and unlabeled medication, and absent or poorly trained nursing staff contradict the abortion industry’s rhetoric”, said Joe Pojman, Ph.D., executive director of Texas Alliance for Life. “It is time to turn our attention to ensuring-not attacking-critical medical research and women’s access to healthcare”.

Texas Alliance for Life also obtained documentation from the Texas Department of State Health Services, which show that four of Hagstrom Miller’s five abortion facilities were cited in the past three years.
