Most Texas hospitals refuse to have any maternity services because they can't make a big profit from them. No help with pregnancy care, terminations or childbirth: take that, girls, women & babies.
Olney Hamilton Hospital joins the nearly 60% of rural Texas hospitals that do not deliver babies, leaving large swaths of the state without a nearby place to give birth. #MsReads via @texastribune.org

The Albanese govt's failure to overturn the Morrison government's $50,000 arts degrees can only mean one of two things:

A growing number of judges say Trump's ongoing legal fights are existential for all Americans’ fundamental rights, not just those of immigrants.

The MAGA regime’s next assault on freedoms is to go after the abortion pill and Plan B.
They want to force women/girls to give birth no matter the cost or the situation and want to jail anyone who doesn’t comply. The Handmaid’s Tale is becoming reality.

If it weren't for Brexit, Rachel Reeves would have another £50 billion in her purse; plenty enough to boost the NHS, welfare, and infrastructure, and allow for some tax cuts. What a happier and more optimistic Britain that would be.
