Quick Glance: Seattle Children’s to Exit Texas Due to Gender-Affirming Care
  • Seattle Children’s Hospital will forego its ability to do business in Texas as part of an agreement with the state’s Attorney General to stop inquiries into gender-affirming care for Texas patients.

  • Last year, Attorney General Ken Paxton attempted to compel Seattle Children’s to turn over information about gender-affirming care that Texas patients may have received at the facility. The hospital sued Paxton, stating that the office doesn’t have jurisdiction over patient records in Washington.

  • Seattle Children’s will 'voluntarily withdraw its registration to transact business in the State of Texas' by the end of the week. Paxton’s office will rescind its civil investigative demand and its request for a sworn written declaration served to the hospital in November.

  • Paxton also requested information on patients from Texas who received gender-affirming care services at the Seattle hospital, including diagnoses details, prescribed medications, and other treatment protocols. Additionally, his office asked for similar records from a telehealth clinic in Georgia.

Quick Glance: Newsom Proposes Law to Aid Arizonans in Getting Abortions in California
  • California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) announced plans to introduce legislation to assist Arizonans in obtaining abortions in his state following a recent decision by the Arizona Supreme Court allowing a near-total abortion ban from 1864 to take effect.

  • The emergency legislation aims to expedite the licenses of Arizona abortion providers to treat patients in California and will be presented this week through the legislature's women's caucus.

  • Newsom emphasized the importance of a prompt response to Republican-led abortion restrictions, criticizing the GOP for their stance. His political action committee is funding ads against bills limiting abortion access.

  • Newsom intends to campaign on the abortion issue in swing states Arizona and Nevada to support a Democratic win in the presidential election and Senate control, calling President Trump a liar regarding his position on nationwide abortion bans.

Quick Glance: Israeli Strike Damages Iranian Air Defense System Without Detection, Officials Say
  • An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.

  • The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.

  • The relatively limited scope of Israel’s strike and the muted response from Iranian officials, however, seem to have eased tensions.

  • It was confirmed that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane, as stated by three Western and two Iranian officials.

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.
