BREAKING: Theocracy descends on America as Texas makes its first arrest of an abortion provider since Donald Trump's MAGA Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
The Christian nationalists are openly celebrating this grim development...
The New York Times reports that a Texas midwife and her employee are now the first known people to be arrested for providing abortion care since the overturn of Roe back in 2022.
The state's far-right Attorney General Ken Paxton — a thoroughly odious man who was investigated for bribery and corruption — stated that Maria Margarita Rojas was operating several clinics near the city of Houston.
"In Texas, life is sacred," stated Paxton. "I will always do everything in my power to protect the unborn, defend our state’s pro-life laws and work to ensure that unlicensed individuals endangering the lives of women by performing illegal abortions are fully prosecuted."
"Dr. Maria," as she is known, was arrested along with Jose Ley and charged with "illegal performance of an abortion," a second degree felony under the state's strict abortion ban. They were also charged with practicing medicine without a license.
They were both held on a $500,000 bond.
"This is, as far as I know, the first allegation that someone in a ban state is providing an abortion in direct violation of abortion laws," Marc Hearron of the Center for Reproductive Rights informed the Times.
This is a direct result of Donald Trump's repeal of Roe. Women all over this country are being denied control of their bodies and those who dare help them are now facing prosecution.
