Texas Alliance for Life Executive Editor Joe Pojman similarly commended the bill and expressed strong support for its “chemical abortion safety protocols.” Pojman highlighted the state’s need for the bill since it assures “that chemical abortions are performed under the supervision of a physician and with adequate safety protocols.”

Meanwhile, NARAL Pro-Choice America Acting President Adrienne Kimmell called the attention of SB4’s authors for allegedly “launching their attacks on abortion access from every angle imaginable.” Kimmell tagged the law an obstruction to the “fundamental freedom.”

“We are hopeful that the Supreme Court will modify Roe and allow states to protect unborn babies from abortion throughout pregnancy beginning at conception,” said Dr. Joe Pojman, Texas Alliance for Life’s Executive Director. “The Legislature has already passed, and pro-life Governor Abbott has signed, the Human Life Protection Act to completely protect those unborn children when and to the extent the Court overturns Roe.”

Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, a group that is supportive of the Texas law, said the state has increased funding by $20 million to assist women who carry pregnancies to term. “Texas has vast resources to help a woman so that no woman seeks an abortion in Texas or out of state because she has no alternatives,” he said.

Mr. Pojman said at least 20 of the state’s 23 licensed abortion providers are operating, but his organization doesn’t know how many abortions are being performed.

A state pro-life group also applauded the legislature for advancing the pro-life measure.

“We strongly support the chemical abortion safety protocols in SB 4,” said Texas Alliance for Life’s executive director Joe Pojman, Ph.D. “Texas needs this bill to assure that chemical abortions are performed under the supervision of a physician and with adequate safety protocols.”

Pojman told LifeNews.com that not only do abortion pills end the lives of unborn babies but they also hurt women, as dozens of women have died and thousands have been injured.

He said the need for this bill is demonstrated by the fact that chemical abortions result in a 20% complication rate for women, four-time higher than surgical abortions, according to a highly credible study published by the ACOG. Complications include incomplete abortion resulting in baby body parts or placenta remaining in the uterus, future miscarriage and stillbirth from unmanaged Rh factor, and hemorrhaging and death from undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy.

Pojman added that the number of babies losing their lives to the abortion drug is on the rise.

Ever since the Obama-Biden administration relaxed the RU-486 safety protocols in 2016, the numbers of chemical abortion abortions have rapidly increased in Texas — from 5,000 in 2014 to 28,000 in 2020, nearly a six-fold increase. Chemical abortions now account for 53% of all abortions in Texas, according to data from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

“Now the Biden-Harris Administration is threatening to remove the FDA’s current in-person dispensing requirement. The physician visit is critically important for protecting the health and safety of women at abortion facilities,” said Pojman. “Even worse, activist organizations and academic institutions are promoting mail-order abortions, without any direct supervision of a physician, putting women’s very lives at risk. For example, Project SANA at the University of Texas at Austin LBJ School of Public Affairs brazenly advocates for ‘self-managed abortions’ while several online organizations will mail abortion pills on demand.”

Joe Pojman, executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life, said an important change that’s not getting enough attention is the increased funding that the Texas Legislature provided for expecting mothers in the last session, setting aside $100 million over the next two years to promote alternatives to abortion.

“Women dont need to go out of state to seek abortions. Texas has the resources to help them successfully give birth to the child, and keep the child if she wishes or place the child for adoption,” he said. “That is the goal of the state programs, and it’s also the goal of hundreds of nonprofit organizations.”
