Texas is taking steps to enforce its abortion ban
Editorial | By Easton Martin | October 9, 2025
The recent arrests in Texas of eight individuals tied to a midwife accused of performing illegal abortions mark a moment of moral clarity. The state is standing firm in defense of innocent human life. Under Texas law, abortion is prohibited except in very narrow medical emergencies, and these arrests affirm that violations of that law will not go unchecked.
The midwife at the center of the case, Maria Margarita Rojas, was arrested earlier this year and charged under Texas’s near-total abortion ban. Prosecutors say she operated multiple clinics in the Houston area and employed others to act as “fake doctors,” prescribing abortion-inducing drugs or performing medical procedures without proper licenses. The new arrests target eight of her associates accused of aiding in those illegal acts.
This is more than a case of unlicensed medical practice, rather, it is about protecting the most vulnerable among us, the unborn. Every abortion ends a human life, and every child lost represents a moral failure that no society should tolerate. When those who claim to offer “care” instead take life, justice demands accountability.
For too long, abortion has been cloaked in euphemisms like “choice” and “health care.” In truth, it is the deliberate destruction of a child. Texas has taken a courageous stand by refusing to look away. By pursuing these cases, the state is not only upholding the law but defending the foundational principle that life begins at conception and deserves protection.
This should serve as a warning to anyone attempting to operate illegal abortion rings in Texas. The law is clear, and so is the moral line. Life is sacred, and those who take it will answer for it. The unborn have no voice, but the law can and must speak for them.
