In Texas, a midwife has been arrested for providing abortions, marking the first time a provider faces criminal charges under the state’s near-total abortion ban. María Margarita Rojas owned and operated a network of health clinics in the Houston suburbs. One of her employees, José Ley, was also charged. Both are also being accused of practicing without a medical license. The abortion charge is a second-degree felony in Texas and punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
