Mexico decriminalizes abortion, extending Latin American trend of widening access to procedure
Mexico’s Supreme Court threw out all federal criminal penalties for abortion Wednesday, ruling that national laws prohibiting the procedure are unconstitutional and violate women’s rights in a sweeping decision that extended Latin American’s trend of widening abortion access.
The high court ordered that abortion be removed from the federal penal code. The ruling will require the federal public health service and all federal health institutions to offer abortion to anyone who requests it.

More Than 800 People Rescued From Floodwaters in Greece After Severe Rainstorms
Greece's fire department says more than 800 people have been rescued over the past two days from floods after severe rainstorms turned streets into raging torrents, hurling cars into the sea and washing away roads

Russia blasts ‘inhumanity’ of US sending depleted uranium shells to Ukraine
Russia has denounced as inhuman a plan by the United States to provide the Ukrainian military with ammunition containing depleted uranium.
"The administration’s decision to supply weapons with depleted uranium is an indicator of inhumanity,” Russia’s embassy in Washington said on the Telegram messaging app following the announcement.
bassy said.
“The US is deliberately transferring weapons with indiscriminate effects,” it added.
“It is fully aware of the consequences: explosions of such munitions result in the formation of a moving radioactive cloud. Small particles of uranium settle in the respiratory tract, lungs, esophagus, accumulate in kidneys and liver, cause cancer and lead to the inhibition of the whole organism’s functions.”
Russia has a point. The U.S. also sent cluster bombs to Ukraine which can detonate after children pick them up on roads or civilians accidentally interacting with them.

@vivify saidI think Ukraine told us what they wanted. They are planning on their own defense. So we can hardly tell him that they should not be using cluster bombs if that is part of their defense. It is none of our business.

That would be like buying a broom at the hardware store to use it to beat away a derelict in my drug store, only to accidentally kill him with the broom. Is it the hardware store’s fault?
Do you like being a lib? Thinking like one?
