The indictments accuse eight people affiliated with the clinics of practicing without medical licenses. Court documents shared with Houston Public Media show that only one of those defendants is accused of performing an abortion. In a press release, Paxton called the group a cabal of abortion loving radicals who are not allowed to operate in the state of Texas. The announcement of more arrest in the case comes a month after Maria Rojas, a Houston area midwife who operated the clinics, was indicted on 15 felony charges stemming from allegations that she performed illegal abortions at the Waller county clinics. Rojas became the first person to be arrested under the state's near total abortion ban that was enacted in 2022. She has pleaded not guilty. Sarah I'm Sarah Grunow in Houston, retired.

Most of his patients have schizophrenia, which can cause psychosis. And Hyatt and his colleagues wanted to know if what they were seeing in their clinics represented a national trend. So they looked at a national data set of more than 50,000 adults that scientists had followed from 2014 to 2022. More than 1,800 of those were individuals with psychosis. After states legalized recreational cannabis past month, use of the drug in people with psychosis went up by more than 9% compared to only 3% for the general population. Ritu Chatterjee, NPR News.
