A Houston-area midwife, Maria Rojas, faces accusations of illegal abortions under Texas' near-total abortion ban. Her attorney claims the charges are politically motivated by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who lacks independent prosecutorial authority. Rojas, who served low-income Spanish-speaking women, was arrested and held on a warrant without formal charges. Her clinics are closed, impacting patient care. The case raises concerns about the safety of medical providers in Texas amid fears of severe penalties for abortion-related activities.
