A Texas appeals court will decide whether to uphold a ban on Houston midwife Maria Rojas' clinics amid claims she performed illegal abortions.
A Texas appeals court will hear arguments in a civil case involving Maria Rojas, a Houston midwife accused by Attorney General Ken Paxton of performing illegal abortions and practicing medicine without a license.
The state claims she violated Texas’s abortion ban, leading to a lower court injunction shutting down her clinics.
Rojas, facing a first-degree felony charge with a potential life sentence—the first such prosecution under the ban—denies performing abortions.
Her legal team argues the state failed to prove any abortions occurred, noting mifepristone was not found, investigators lacked medical expertise, and misoprostol was used for miscarriage care.
The case has disrupted care for her low-income, primarily Spanish-speaking patients.
The appeal will determine whether the injunction remains in place while her criminal case proceeds.
