"Conservative Shift: The Battle for Abortion Rights in Arizona and Beyond"

The Arizona Supreme Court revived a 160-year-old law banning almost all abortions, reflecting a trend in Republican-leaning states following the overruling of Roe v. Wade. Despite this, polls show that a majority of registered voters in Arizona support legal abortion, highlighting a disconnect between politicians and public opinion. The Republican stance on abortion is seen as contradictory to principles of personal choice and freedom, and the restrictive laws will disproportionately impact women's access to medical care.

"Trump Quietly Endorses 16-Week Abortion Ban with Exceptions"

Donald Trump privately supports a national ban on abortion after 16 weeks of pregnancy with exceptions for rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother, but is waiting until after the Republican primary to publicly discuss his position. Despite the overturning of Roe v Wade, voters have rejected attempts to curtail abortion rights, and polling shows less support for abortions past the first trimester. More than a dozen states have enacted near-total abortion bans, some without exceptions for rape or incest, and doctors have highlighted the vagueness of carve-outs for abortions in cases of medical emergencies.

Abortion advocates and opponents clash in rallies across the US.

On the anniversary of the United States Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, pro-abortion rights protesters assembled on the east side of South Dearborn Street on Saturday, while across Dearborn, a similar sized group of anti-abortion advocates rallied in celebration of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that gave states the authority to legislate abortion policy. The event stayed peaceful as dozens of vehicles and officers lined the street outside Chicago’s Federal Plaza, separating the groups. The pro-abortion rights group followed the anti-abortion supporters on a brief march from Federal Plaza to other locations in The Loop, including Daley Center Plaza and City Hall.

Texas Man Murders Girlfriend Over Abortion Decision

A man in Texas has been charged with murder after allegedly killing his girlfriend in a parking lot upon learning she had an abortion in Colorado, where it is legal at all stages of pregnancy. The suspect, who is believed to be the father of the child, did not want the abortion. The victim had reportedly been assaulted by the suspect multiple times throughout their relationship. Abortions in Texas are prohibited after roughly six weeks except in cases of medical emergency.

North Carolina Republicans propose 12-week abortion ban agreement.

Republicans in North Carolina have introduced a plan to ban abortion in the state after 12 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, incest, lethal fetal anomalies, and the life of the mother. The legislation was introduced by female Republican lawmakers and is being touted as a "pro-woman" approach. The proposal comes after similar bans failed in South Carolina and Nebraska. North Carolina currently allows abortions until 20 weeks of pregnancy. The bill is expected to face opposition from Democrats and pro-choice advocates.

Nebraska's Abortion Restrictions Face Legislative Setbacks.

An effort to pass a bill banning abortion around the sixth week of pregnancy failed to advance in the Nebraska Legislature by one vote. The bill would have banned abortion once cardiac activity can be detected. This is the second year in a row that an effort to restrict abortion access in the state has failed. Nebraska currently bans abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy. The failed bill included exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and medical emergencies that threaten the life of the mother and made specific exceptions for ectopic pregnancies and IVF procedures.

Nebraska's Abortion Restrictions Face Legislative Setbacks.

A bill that would have banned abortion in Nebraska after about six weeks failed to advance on Thursday after falling one vote short of the threshold needed to invoke cloture. The bill would have prohibited doctors from performing abortions if cardiac activity was detected in an embryo during an ultrasound. With 20 days remaining in the legislative session, it's unclear if the bill will be reconsidered. Opponents of the bill celebrated the outcome, while supporters expressed disappointment. This is the second year in a row that a bill to further restrict abortion in Nebraska has failed.

Nebraska lawmakers move forward with 6-week abortion ban.

Nebraska lawmakers have given first-round passage to Legislative Bill 626, which would outlaw abortions after a required ultrasound detects embryonic cardiac activity, typically at about six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant. The bill now heads to a second round of debate that could prove decisive for the bill and for defenders of abortion rights. Local abortion-rights advocates need to peel a single vote away to stop LB 626 with help from a filibuster by State Sens. Megan Hunt and Machaela Cavanaugh, both of Omaha.
