Burlington To Discuss Increasing Downtown Public Bathrooms

by Elisha Brown, NC Newsline June 4, 2024 A federal judge on Monday blocked parts of North Carolina’s law on medication abortions. Under the ruling by U. S. District Judge Catherine Eagles any health care provider — not just physicians — and pharmacists who are certified can prescribe abortion pills, patients can take mifepristone at home and they no longer have to make three-in person visits to a doctor. “Yesterday’s ruling from the court is a tremendous victory for thousands of patients statewide, particularly in rural areas, who have been deprived of full access to medication abortion because of the state legislature’s oppressive tactics and maniacal focus on restricting abortion,” Jenny Black, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, said in a statement Tuesday.   The lawsuit was filed last year by Dr.

Here's America Reports anchor John Roberts and his guest Kerri Kupec Urbahn (their same legal "expert" that was just attacking the First Lady for attending Hunter's trial earlier this week), pretending that Crow didn't benefit from all the money he's been lavishing on Thomas: ROBERTS: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has made public his first annual financial disclosure report since facing a flurry of ethics attacks.

Florida Republican Byron Donalds continued to claim Black families were better off in the Jim Crow era than after President Lyndon Johnson passed historic legislation to give them equal protection and rights under the laws of the U.

On Fox News, uber Trump fanatic Pete Hegseth filling in for shitstain Jesse Watters pretended that a troll on Facebook could actually have been the cousin of a juror and claimed to know the verdict before it was handed down. Not surprising, the Fox News host intentionally failed to mention the letter that the judge sent to both the defense and prosecutors made clear it was a phony.
