A Texas abortionist recently wrote a public op-ed announcing that he violated the Texas Heartbeat Act. Describing it as a “matter of duty,” Alan Braid wrote in the Washington Post that he committed a first-trimester abortion on September 6, five days after the state law took effect.
The illegal abortion illusion
Braid began his op-ed by explaining that he started his medical career in 1972, before Roe v. Wade had passed, and abortion was illegal in Texas. Yet he still said he had been trained in how to commit abortions at the University of Texas — and predictably, wrote of seeing women die from botched abortions prior to Roe .
“At the hospital that year, I saw three teenagers die from illegal abortions,” he said. “One I will never forget. When she came into the ER, her vaginal cavity was packed with rags. She died a few days later from massive organ failure, caused by a septic infection.”
There is no way to determine the truth of Braid’s statements. But the Washington Post itself debunked the long-persistent myth of women dying in large numbers from abortions before Roe v. Wade . As Christopher Tietze pointed out for the Post, deaths from abortion had been declining long before Roe v. Wade , thanks to things like penicillin, antibiotics, and other improvements in medicine. Former Planned Parenthood medical director Mary Steichen Calderone likewise said that 90% of illegal abortions were committed by trained physicians, offering the service under the radar.
Braid’s claim that he saw three women die firsthand would literally have made up nearly 10% of all illegal abortion-related deaths in the country that year. “The CDC began collecting data on abortion mortality in 1972, the year before Roe was decided,” the Post explained. “In 1972, the number of deaths in the United States from legal abortions was 24 and from illegal abortions 39, according to the CDC.”
After Roe v. Wade , he spent 45 years committing abortions. And after the Texas Heartbeat Act, he continued.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
