Maria Margarita Rojas, a 48-year-old midwife from Texas, was arrested for allegedly performing illegal abortions, making it the first criminal arrest following the state's stringent abortion laws post-Roe v Wade. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the charges, which include illegal abortion practice and practicing medicine without a license, both deemed serious offenses under Texas law. The announcement reflects increasing frustration among anti-abortion activists over the slow pace of prosecutions, as Texas enforces its pro-life stance vigorously in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade.
