Records from state health officials show that of the 22 abortions performed in the first five months of the year, all were for the health and life of the mother.
Kim Schwartz of Texas Right to Life says that is good news, but she knows that illegal abortions are not being tracked.
"We see from state data that there are significantly fewer abortions," she notes. "We want the number of elective abortions to be zero, whether that's recorded or not."
Her organization is concerned about the "hidden story" that needs to be addressed.
"Illegal websites … are selling pills to women in Texas," Schwartz laments. "They're mailing abortion pills to women's homes and dorm rooms."
But even as abortion pills are also being smuggled into Texas from Mexico, Left-leaning district attorneys are refusing to enforce the law and protect pregnant women and their babies.
Knowing that women are also traveling to neighboring states to terminate their preborn babies, some cities and counties have passed ordinances that forbid the use of their streets, highways, and airports for abortion tourism.
Mark Lee Dickson, founder of Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn, reports that pro-life attorney Jonathan Mitchell has filed discovery requests with some nefarious organizations.
"Those communities, they specifically prohibit abortions being performed on residents of their cities, and so if any of these abortion assistance groups have paid for abortions on residents of those cities, then they could get in some big trouble," Dickson explains.
There has so far been no response to the deposition requests that were made in mid-September.
"If I was the abortion industry, though, I would really be thinking twice about continuing to do any kind of abortion-related operations in the state of Texas," the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn founder suggests.
He asserts that the attorneys working the case are serious about seeing the state's laws fully enforced.
Meanwhile, Texas Right to Life encourages the state's pro-life legislators to deal with the issue of enforcement in the next regular session.
