Lawmakers vote against hearing Arizona bill repealing abortion ban on House floor
cnn.com/2024/04/17/politics/arizona-house-abortion-law-repeal/
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: Sudan: A Year of Devastating Conflict
- The ongoing clashes between the regular Sudanese army forces and General 'Hemedti's' troops have resulted in the displacement of nearly 8 million Sudanese individuals. The civilian population is facing severe food shortages.
- Sudan is witnessing a collapse while the international response remains lackluster. Villages have been destroyed, towns bombed, and heinous acts committed: 12 months of conflict have shattered a nation of 44 million inhabitants.

- With famine looming, Sudan is grappling with a dire humanitarian situation. The unexpected escalation of tensions between the two armies followed their transition from allies to adversaries.
