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.

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

apnews.com/article/transgender-care-abortion-pornography-kansas-7b4141984334258017da842a3542570c

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.

washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/04/23/pennsylvania-primary-2024-election-campaign-updates/

Quick Glance: Summer Lee Secures Key Victory in Pennsylvania Primary

Pennsylvania congresswoman Summer Lee successfully navigated a primary challenge on Tuesday, securing progressives one of their most crucial wins of this election cycle while preparing for an influx of pro-Israel funding targeting candidates supportive of a ceasefire.

During the primaries, Lee emerged victorious against local council member Bhavini Patel, who had raised concerns about the stance of the progressive “Squad” member on the Gaza ceasefire.

The resonance of this argument was evident among many of Lee’s supporters and local Democratic figures. The Allegheny County Democratic party formally endorsed Lee in February, marking their support for her for the first time after having backed her opponent in the 2022 primaries.

Despite the pro-Israel lobby staying out of the picture, a Super Pac intervened in Lee’s primary to bolster Patel’s campaign. The Moderate Pac, with a mission to back centrist Democrats and significant funding from Republican megadonor Jeffrey Yass, allocated over $600,000 to support Patel.

Kansas has a new anti-DEI law, but the governor has vetoed bills on abortion and even police dogs

Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Increases Veto Against Controversial Laws

Kansas’ Democratic governor, Laura Kelly, vetoed proposed tax breaks for anti-abortion counseling centers and allowed restrictions on college diversity initiatives to become law without her signature.

Kelly also rejected a bill to increase penalties for killing law enforcement dogs or horses, as well as two election measures influenced by baseless election conspiracies.

The new law, effective July 1, prohibits state universities, community colleges, and technical schools from requiring statements on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs from applicants.

Kelly’s vetoes on anti-abortion centers and voting rights issues have sparked political tension, with Republicans in Kansas showing intent to override her actions.
