## Resource

A Texas appeals court has overturned a temporary shutdown order against midwife Maria Rojas’ Houston clinics, ruling that improperly admitted evidence from a separate criminal case undermined the state’s case. While the injunction is lifted for now, Rojas still faces serious criminal charges—including illegal abortions and practicing medicine without a license—and her clinics are unlikely to reopen soon due to the ongoing legal battle and her suspended license. The court’s decision is a procedural win, but the broader fight over reproductive rights and medical access continues.
