Houston Midwife Faces Charges for Illegal Abortions
Maria Margarita Rojas, a 48-year-old midwife known as 'Dr. Maria,' was arrested in Texas for allegedly performing illegal abortions and practicing medicine without a license at her clinics in the Houston area. Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the charges, which include second-degree felony counts that could lead to up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Rojas is accused of operating multiple clinics that employed unlicensed individuals posing as medical professionals, violating the Texas Human Life Protection Act. The Attorney General's Office has filed for a temporary restraining order to shut down these clinics. Supporters, like Holly Sherman, a colleague, expressed disbelief over the allegations. The case has been referred to a grand jury for potential indictment, with Rojas and her employee Jose Ley facing high bail amounts for their charges.
