A federal appeals court has struck down a West Virginia law protecting the fairness of school athletics. In 2021, West Virginia passed the "Save Women's Sports Act," becoming one of the first states in the United States to protect the fairness of sports.

I am 19 weeks pregnant, a legal scholar and a resident of Arizona, whose highest court on Tuesday upheld a 160-year-old law banning nearly all abortions, even in the case of rape or incest. In doing so, the court held that Arizona’s 2022 law, which allowed abortion up through 15 weeks into pregnancy, was no longer valid after the Supreme Court struck down Roe vs. Wade that same year. Many have already explained the obvious legal and common-sense deficiencies in the majority opinion, including...
Former president and presumptive Republican White House nominee Donald Trump told journalists on Wednesday that he will not sign a federal abortion ban if it reaches his desk.
