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: 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.

Kansas governor vetoes a ban on gender-affirming care; GOP vows override: The bill would ban hormone therapy, puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery ...

Quick Glance: Clash Over Transgender Youth Rights Escalates in Kansas

The Democratic governor of Kansas rejected a bill that would have banned gender-affirming care for minors, leading to a standoff with the state's Republican supermajority.

The Republican-led legislature is expected to push for an override of the veto. The legislation halted by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly would prohibit hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender reassignment surgery for individuals under 18.

Last year, Kelly vetoed four bills imposing restrictions on transgender individuals, including measures preventing transgender girls and women from participating in female K-12 and college sports teams, and ending legal recognition of transgender identities in the state.

In recent years, an unprecedented number of bills targeting transgender individuals have been introduced in state legislatures. Lawmakers introduced nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills during the 2024 legislative session, as reported by the American Civil Liberties Union. By May 2023, legislators had introduced over 400 such bills, a significant increase from about 150 in 2022.

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.

The Vatican declared gender-affirming surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity, equating them with abortion and euthanasia.

Rejecting 'gender theory,' the Vatican emphasized that people should not tamper with the gender they were created with by God.

The new document underscores that biological sex and the sociocultural role of sex can be distinguished but not separated.

The Vatican's most detailed stance on gender emphasizes the complementarity of biologically male and female sex organs for creating new life.

Among the supporters of the campaign are organizations advocating against abortion, such as Nebraska Right to Life and the Nebraska Family Alliance.

There are competing ballot initiatives, including a protection measure for abortions up to fetal viability with exceptions for later abortions to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient.

Missouri death row inmate Brian Dorsey facing 'surgery without anesthesia': lawyer

nypost.com/2024/04/06/us-news/missouri-death-row-inmate-facing-surgery-without-anesthesia-lawyer/

Quick Glance: Missouri death row inmate facing 'surgery without anesthesia': lawyer

The Missouri Supreme Court denied a request to halt the execution of Brian Dorsey, a death row inmate scheduled to be put to death through lethal injection, despite concerns raised by his legal team about the lack of anesthesia during a potential surgical procedure.

State law mandates the establishment of primary and intravenous lines for the lethal injection, but fails to specify the extent to which the execution team can intervene to locate a suitable vein.

Citing Dorsey's medical history and conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and past IV drug use, his lawyers have highlighted the increased challenges in finding a viable vein without resorting to invasive procedures.

In addition to the appeals from numerous corrections officers urging Governor Mike Parson for clemency, leaders within the community have also expressed support for Dorsey.

Two Maine Republican lawmakers faced censure on Thursday for linking the state's deadliest mass shooting to God's anger over a bill expanding abortion access.

Following discussions on a new legislative proposal, Michael Lemelin and Shelley Rudnicki were formally reprimanded by the chamber.

Initial remarks triggered swift bipartisan condemnation in Maine's Democrat-led House of Representatives.

A censure vote by the House resulted in both legislators being barred from speaking or voting until issuing apologies.

Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results

A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.

In the Harvard Youth Poll released on Thursday, Biden leads among 18- to 29-year-olds with 45 percent compared to 37 percent for Trump, while 16 percent are undecided.

Biden holds a significant lead among likely voters who are non-white or female. He outperforms Trump by 47 points among college graduates and by 23 points among students.

The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.

usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/12/donald-trump-backs-mike-johnson-in-battle-with-conservatives/73292141007/

Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.

In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.

Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.
