Texas Midwife Arrested for Operating Illegal Abortion Clinics

Texas Midwife Arrested for Operating Illegal Abortion Clinics

HOUSTON, TX — A Houston-area midwife was arrested for performing illegal abortions and operating clinics with unlicensed staff, signaling a significant action in Texas’s crackdown on illegal abortion practices.

Maria Margarita Rojas, 48, is accused of running multiple clinics, including Clinica Waller Latinoamericana in Waller, Clinica Latinoamericana Telge in Cypress, and Latinoamericana Medical Clinic in Spring.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced her arrest after an investigation revealed that Rojas was performing unlawful abortion procedures at these locations.

To prevent further illegal activities, Paxton’s office has filed for a temporary restraining order to shut down Rojas’ businesses while legal proceedings continue.

Texas Right to Life President Dr. John Seago responded, “Abortionists haven’t given up their fight for Texas; they’ve gone online and underground. God made every child in His image. That’s why preborn babies killed in illegal abortions deserve justice.”

Seago emphasized the need for stronger measures to protect the unborn: “Texas is not Pro-Life unless we actually enforce our laws. The state still needs more tools to block the abortion industry’s new tactics online, but Texas Right to Life is thankful that General Paxton is proving we can save a lot of lives by upholding current law.”

In light of this case, Seago advocates for more legislative protections: “Texas must pass more protections to save children in the womb from the new insidious efforts of abortion activists. The Woman and Child Protection Act (Senate Bill 2880 and House Bill 5510) could make Texas the first state to target the abortion industry’s underground operations.”

Texas Right to Life is also calling for prayers as the case progresses. “Join Texas Right to Life in praying for justice and repentance for Maria Rojas as the truth of this case is exposed,” Seago added.
