(SRN NEWS) – According to new data from Tufts University, a lot of pro-choice voters still cast their ballot for President Trump on Election Day. The study finds that in most states, young people overwhelmingly supported pro-abortion ballot measures, even while voting for Mr. Trump at the top of the ticket. Adults ages 18-to-29 overwhelmingly voted in favor of abortion referendums, even as they moved right from the 2020 election, pulling the lever for Mr. Trump or voting for Democrat Kamala Harris by much slimmer margins.
A conservative Catholic legal group is suing Illinois over a landmark state law enshrining a “fundamental right” to abortion and requiring insurance companies to cover the procedure. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Chicago by the Thomas More Society, argues that Illinois is violating the First Amendment and 14th Amendment rights of its plaintiffs. It also argues that the state is in violation of the Comstock Act of 1873, because it requires health insurers to cover providers who send abortion medication in the mail.
President Trump has tapped doctor and former Republican Congressman Dave Weldon of Florida to lead the Centers for Disease Control. Weldon is a staunch pro-life advocate. Legislation he introduced more than 20 years ago outlawed human cloning. He also brokered a deal with lawmakers to bar patents on human organisms, including genetically engineered embryos. Weldon also advocated against the removal of the feeding tube for Terri Schiavo (SHY-voh), a Florida woman whose family battle over her vegetative state turned into a national debate.
New Hampshire school district officials are defending their decision to punish two parents for wearing wristbands in protest of a boy playing on a girls soccer team. Kyle Fellers and Anthony Foote sued the Bow school district after being banned from school grounds for wearing the wristbands at their daughters’ soccer game in September. The no-trespass orders have since expired, but a judge is deciding whether the plaintiffs should be allowed to wear the wristbands and carry signs at upcoming school events while the case proceeds.
