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.

6 former Mississippi officers are sentenced in state court for racist torture of 2 Black men

pbs.org/newshour/nation/6-former-mississippi-officers-are-sentenced-in-state-court-for-racist-torture-of-2-black-men

Quick Glance: Mississippi officers sentenced for torture of 2 Black men

Former white Mississippi officers were sentenced in state courts after pleading guilty to torturing two Black men, despite already being sentenced to federal prison terms.

Federal Judge Tom Lee called their actions "egregious and despicable" as he gave sentences near the top of the federal guidelines.

The defendants admitted to breaking into the house, torturing Jenkins and Parker in an hourslong attack that included beatings, repeated uses of stun guns, and sexual assaults before one victim was shot in the mouth.

Federal officers expressed remorse in court, while the victims demanded changes in the sheriff's office and filed a $400 million civil lawsuit.

The agreement would preempt state privacy laws and enable consumers to sue companies violating the regulations.

Despite key lawmaker support, the bill's fate in Congress remains uncertain as elections approach, and time for legislative action dwindles.

Quick Glance: Experts Caution Against Risks of Marijuana Consumption

The 420 day, also known as 'Weed Day,' is celebrated, but experts warn about the health implications of marijuana consumption.

While 24 US states have legalized marijuana for recreational use, research raises concerns about the potential harm cannabis can do to the body.

Studies suggest that marijuana smoke poses health risks, including an increased risk of stroke and heart attack, as well as links to heart issues.

Despite some medicinal benefits of marijuana, such as reducing seizures in epilepsy, there are warnings about the risks of excessive consumption, especially among adolescents and pregnant women.

Supreme Court allows Idaho to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth

Quick Glance: Idaho Can Enforce Ban on Gender-Affirming Care

The Supreme Court is allowing Idaho to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth while ongoing legal battles persist, overturning previous court decisions.

A court decision enables the state of Idaho to implement a 2023 law that imposes significant penalties on physicians for providing gender-affirming care to individuals under 18 years old.

The court's three liberal judges would have chosen to suspend the law.

This action comes as the justices may soon deliberate on whether to address bans in Kentucky and Tennessee enforced amid legal disputes.
