Kansas governor vetoes ban on gender-affirming care for minors and 2 anti-abortion bills

Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed a bill on gender confirmation for minors, leading to conflict with Republican state lawmakers.

The package of measures now goes back to the state Legislature, where the GOP majority is likely to have enough votes to override the governor's veto. Lawmakers are expected to return for a veto session on April 29.

The proposed measure would ban gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth in Kansas, including puberty blockers and surgeries, although surgical procedures on children are rarely performed.

The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans Block Efforts to Repeal 1864 Abortion Ban

Democratic bills to repeal a 160-year-old abortion ban were blocked in the Legislature.

Arizona's highest court decision upholding a 1864 abortion ban caused chaos and confusion.

Democrats aimed to repeal the ban to protect women's health, facing hurdles in the Republican-controlled legislature.

The uncertainty loomed over whether Republican leaders would allow immediate action on repealing the ban, despite pressure from Democrats and some Republicans.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban

Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

Quick Glance: Biden's New Perspective on Inflation: Trump Would Be Worse

The White House warns that inflation would worsen if Trump is re-elected as a strategy to sway voters.

March's inflation increase surpassed expectations, undermining Biden's claim of lowering prices.

Rising oil prices due to geopolitical tensions could lead to higher gas prices, a concern for the White House.

Biden emphasizes fighting inflation as top priority while experts debate the impact of his economic stimulus packages.
