Dr. Pojman has spent more than three decades working in public policy and advocacy to protect human life, helping craft many of the laws that shape Texas’s current pro-life legal framework.

The discussion will examine the legal landscape following the passage of major Texas pro-life laws and ask a key question: are these policies achieving their intended goals? Dr. Pojman will share insights from his experience working at the Texas Capitol, helping draft legislation, and evaluating how the laws operate in practice.

Lunch will be provided.
