Arizona says century-old abortion ban can be enforced; EPA limits 'forever chemicals'

Apr 11, 2024 · 6m 35s

Description

Arizona's Supreme Court has decided to enforce a century-old abortion law enacted during the Civil War, significantly restricting abortion rights in the state. This ruling prohibits nearly all abortions, except in cases where the woman's life is at risk, and mandates prison sentences for those performing abortions. The state's decision has sparked widespread protests and efforts to challenge the ruling via a ballot measure aimed at protecting abortion rights. In other news, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken a critical step towards safeguarding public health by setting limits on the presence of PFAS, known as 'forever chemicals,' in drinking water. This initiative, the first of its kind, aims to combat the adverse effects of these harmful substances, which are linked to various health issues, including cancer. Additionally, discussions around sibling influence on identity, the ongoing issue of nicotine vaping among young people, and other significant topics, highlight the multifaceted aspects of health and societal concerns being addressed today.
