Texas Alliance for Life is gearing up for their anti-abortion rally and march at the state capital next Saturday. The group’s communications director, Amy O’Donnell, says next weekend’s annual Texas Rally for Life, takes place on the Saturday following the anniversary of Roe v Wade.

“It’s an opportunity for pro lifers to come together and let the media and our elected officials know that Texans still value life,” said O’Donnell. She adds that this year they are expecting thousands of people to attend.

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 [perform an abortion] 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.

“It seems to me this is another skewed study coming out at an election time that seeks to paint a dire picture,” said Amy O’Donnell with Texas Alliance for Life.

Anti-abortion advocates add the survey paints an unfair picture of a health crisis.

“Where we won’t have the number of OBGYNs necessary to meet the demands of our women, while at the same time saying that we don’t have any lack of residency spots being filled,” said O’Donnell.
