Texas Midwife Charged Under Abortion Ban
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of Maria Margarita Rojas, a midwife, marking the first criminal charges under the state's near-total abortion ban. Rojas, 48, is accused of performing illegal abortions and practicing medicine without a license, operating clinics in Houston under the names Clinica Waller Latinoamericana, Clinica Latinoamericana Telge, and Latinoamericana Medical Clinic. These facilities allegedly employed unlicensed individuals who misrepresented themselves as medical professionals. If convicted, Rojas faces up to 20 years in prison and fines of $100,000 per abortion. Paxton emphasized the state's commitment to enforcing pro-life laws and protecting the unborn, with the Attorney General's office filing for a restraining order to shut down Rojas's clinics. Rojas's arrest highlights the ongoing enforcement of strict abortion regulations in Texas, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
