Joe Pojman, executive director for Texas Alliance for Life, said cities and counties in Texas still are allowed to make contracts with abortion groups using taxpayer dollars. He said these contracts even could directly fund the killing of unborn babies in abortions.

He pointed to the city of Austen as an example; the city currently has a contract with Planned Parenthood to teach sex education and STD prevention. While the taxpayer money does not directly go to abortions, money is fungible; and any tax money that goes to an abortion group frees up other money for their abortion business.

Joe Pojman executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life, an anti-abortion organization, thinks that’s a bit much. He didn’t recognize the point of the handmaids in the Senate chamber until his wife explained it to him later, he said, and she took issue with their imagery.

“She didn’t think it is at all an appropriate way to protest, because she thinks there’s actually no chance our society is sliding into a dystopian society of that kind,” he said.

While he said he admires the activists for getting involved, Pojman noted that women are leading the fight against abortion, too. And in Texas, they appear to be winning.

Joe Pojman, executive director of another anti-abortion group called Texas Alliance for Life, believes that the “D&E” ban will not survive a court challenge. He said that a defeat similar to the one the state absorbed at the Supreme Court could set the anti-abortion movement back.

In addition to opening new arguments for abortion rights activists to challenge abortion laws, the state was required to pay millions of dollars in court fees for the plaintiffs.

“We can’t sustain another loss like we sustained” last year, Pojman said.

Joe Pojman, executive director for the Texas Alliance for Life, which would typically agree ideologically with the caucus, saw four of his seven anti-abortion bills die at the hands of the Freedom Caucus.

He likened the legislative meltdown to a cross-country family road trip with three kids in the back seat. The caucus, he said, is the child who “will make everyone else miserable until they get their way … The unreasonable one will not be consoled.”
