What: The Texas attorney general announced the state arrested and charged a Texas midwife for providing abortions in the state despite the ban. This is the first criminal charge brought under the state’s ban and also includes a charge of practicing medicine without a license. Expect right-wing media to seize on this as an opportunity to focus on a potentially less sympathetic case.

Key line: “Holly Shearman, a midwife who runs Tomball Birth Center, where Rojas worked part-time providing prenatal care, said she was ‘shocked’ by the news of her arrest. She described Rojas as a devout Catholic and skilled midwife whose clinics provided health care to a primarily Spanish-speaking, low-income community.”
