Quick Glance: Lack of Compassion in Abortion Discourse
- The abortion discourse has led to a lack of compassion in society.
- We have ceased to consider those seeking abortion as parents or as individuals doing their best given the circumstances.
- Many individuals will use the story of the Kate Cox family as a basis for further debating abortion.
- Others will undoubtedly pass judgment if the family even considers ending the life of their unborn child.

nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-tackles-sackler-family-liability-protections-opioid-sett-rcna127663
Quick Glance: Supreme Court Examines Sackler Family's Role in Opioid Settlement
- The Biden administration is challenging a bankruptcy plan that allows the Sackler family to avoid future lawsuits related to the opioid epidemic.
- This is no ordinary bankruptcy case and involves the nationwide harm caused by the opioid crisis and the role played by Sackler-owned Purdue.
- As part of the proposed deal, which the Supreme Court put on hold in August, the Sackler family had agreed to pay around $6 billion to settle opioid-related claims, but only in return for a complete release from any liability in future cases.
- The overall settlement, including assets held by Purdue, is likely to be worth significantly more, with the reorganized company dedicated to tackling the impact of opioid abuse.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Aspartame Classified as 'Possible Carcinogen'; Consumption Limits Unchanged
- The sweetener aspartame has been classified as a 'possible carcinogen' by two groups linked to the World Health Organization (WHO).
- The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) stated that it remains safe to consume aspartame at already-agreed levels.

Quick Glance: What is causing bank failures? SVB and Signature Bank failures explained
- Over the next 48 hours, there was a surge in customer withdrawals from the bank, which then attempted to raise emergency capital on the equity markets, which investors rejected.
- It, too, would crumble.
- "SVB's collapse was caused by a liquidity crisis when many of its larger depositors wanted to take money out at the same time." Haine explained.
- "The issue at the heart of this was caused by massive losses on SVB's bond investments in the face of rising US interest rates, and a fire sale of these as its clients – typically technology start-up entrepreneurs and venture capital investors – began pulling money out."
