Event Summary

The United States — United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in United States — Texas reversed a temporary injunction against midwife Maria Margarita Rojas, who was accused of providing illegal abortions and practicing medicine without a license. The court found that the state did not provide sufficient admissible evidence to justify the injunction, which had shut down her three clinics. The ruling does not address the truth of the allegations. Rojas still faces criminal charges and her midwifery license remains suspended. United States — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced intent to appeal to the United States — Supreme Court of the United States. The Center for Reproductive Rights, representing Rojas, stated the clinics are unlikely to reopen due to the damage already done.
