Texas makes 2 more abortion arrests

Texas Attor­ney Gen­er­al Ken Pax­ton (R) announced Tuesday that two more individuals have been arrested on charges they provided illegal abortions, apparently in connection to the midwife who was arrested this week on the same charges.

Jose Manuel Cendan Ley, 29, and Rubildo Labanino Matos, 54, were arrested earlier this month. Ley is accused of performing abortions unlawfully and without a medical license alongside Maria Margarita Rojas, a midwife in the Houston area who was arrested Monday. Matos, a nurse practitioner, was arrested in connection to the investigation, Paxton’s office said.
