#Houston #midwife arrested for alleged 'illegal abortions'
Justice for #MariaMargaritaRojas and #JoséLey
2nd degree felony in #TX. Could get up to 20 years.
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/17/us/texas-illegal-abortions/index.html Texas woman arrested for providing ‘illegal #abortions,’ #Texas attorney general says Holly Shearman, clinical director of Tomball Birth Center, where Rojas worked part-time, told The Tribune she was shocked by the arrest. She described Rojas as a skilled #midwife who provided care to a predominantly Spanish-speaking, low-income area.
#KenPaxton, the #Texas AG, said in a statement that the #midwife, Maria Margarita Rojas, operated clinics in several towns around Houston, including 2 in Harris County, the state’s most populous county, & one in Waller County, a more rural & conservative jurisdiction where the charges were brought.
A #midwife & an associate have been arrested & charged w/illegally performing abortions in greater #Houston, acc/to court records & the #Texas AG, apparently the first #criminal arrests of #abortion providers since #SCOTUS overturned #RoeVWade in 2022.

Doctors Against Genocide
2025 Calendar
The 2025 calendar "A Year of Genocide" is a powerful artistic testimony of Gaza's destruction, documenting attacks on medical facilities, the killing of healthcare workers, and the suffering of patients, children, and civilians.
This is an insane and sad story but at the end it had a suprising link to the abortion issue 40 years ago!
“Lemay was charged with criminal negligence causing death after a fetus died during delivery in 1985. She was found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court, but later acquitted on appeal after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled she couldn't be convicted because a fetus isn't a legal person.”
