HOUSTON – A Houston-area midwife accused operating multiple birthing clinics without proper licensing and performing illegal abortions is also being accused of misleading a patient into undergoing a medication abortion, newly released records show.
Maria Margarita Rojas, 49, is the first healthcare provider facing criminal charges under Texas’ near total abortion ban.
According to court documents, the patient and her husband returned to the Clinica Waller Latinoamericana on Monday, March 3, to review lab results from a blood draw taken during her previous visit. The couple was reportedly attended by Cendan Ley, who mentioned during their conversation that he was from Cuba.
The patient later met with Rojas, who was posing as a licensed gynecologist, according to investigators. Rojas allegedly provided the lab results and informed the woman she was four weeks pregnant.
Court records state Rojas told her that based on the lab findings, she had only a 9% chance of a successful pregnancy, below the 10% threshold needed to safely continue. Rojas reportedly recommended a treatment to terminate the pregnancy, which the woman said she accepted, believing she was following sound medical advice.
She claimed Rojas gave her a pill orally, describing it as a low dosage, but did not specify the medication or potential side effects, aside from mentioning that she would experience bleeding.
According to court documents, the woman returned to Clinica Waller Latinoamericana on March 4, after experiencing only slight bleeding. Rojas allegedly gave her more Misoprostol and another pill to cause dilation. The woman later discovered she had undergone a medication abortion.

Mid wife lost site of her mission statement
No one can talk you into anything unless you choose to accept it. That’s reality. Peer pressure is caving because you have no spine.. like everything it’s personal responsibility. No one’s fault but your own if you choose poorly.
Iffy story. After being told she had very little chance of successful pregnancy what did she think the pill was for?
Who by the way is the Cuban?
She must have been pre-disposed to abortion else why would she go to a
....gag...PP facility.....even one led by someone posing as a licensed gyn.
Agreed. Everyone knows that Planned Parenthood has zero to do with parenting.
“Rojas reportedly recommended a treatment to terminate the pregnancy, which the woman said she accepted, believing she was following sound medical advice.”

If the article is correct (I know, a really big IF), the woman is said to have accepted the treatment for termination of the baby’s life.
If I were on the jury it wouldn’t matter if the midwife was legal or not: The woman accepted to treatment to kill her unborn child. The woman may have buyer’s remorse for a financial gain... sigh.
So many reasons no one would want me on any jury.
It may have been a language problem, if he used the word terminate for a woman who didn’t know English well.

I humbly accept the theory you put forward.
When my youngest was only 5 he was hospitalized for breathing issues. I was surprised when his language development was commented upon by the nurses. Apparently, he was speaking in terms years above the normal range.
I advised the nurses I spoke and read to him in adult terms only.
