| Megathread: Elizabeth Warren to Suspend Presidential Campaign Posted: 05 Mar 2020 07:48 AM PST Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts plans to drop out of the presidential race on Thursday and will inform her staff of her plans later this morning, according to a person close to her, ending a run defined by an avalanche of policy plans that aimed to pull the Democratic Party to the left and appealed to enough voters to make her briefly a front-runner last fall, but that proved unable to translate excitement from elite progressives into backing from the party's more working-class and diverse base.

| We reported on states trying to ban people from getting abortions because a Down syndrome diagnosis. Ask us anything. Posted: 05 Mar 2020 08:04 AM PST We're Dan Ming, Carter Sherman, and Jen Villavicencio, two VICE News journalists and an abortion provider. Since 2013, eight states have enacted bills to ban abortion if someone wants one because of a genetic anomaly like Down syndrome. Court challenges have paralyzed all but one of those bills, but there's no sign that they'll go away anytime soon: Of the eight bans, four were passed in 2019 alone. Supporters of the bills say they protect people with disabilities from discrimination, some even compare the rates of Down syndrome-related terminations to eugenics. But critics argue that regulating a woman's reasons for getting an abortion is a slippery slope. The anti-abortion movement simply wants a new way to limit access to the procedure, these critics say, and they're hijacking the charged issue of disability rights in order to do it. Watch our story "How Down Syndrome Became a New Front in the Abortion Wars" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcqsyiqVsXo. And find us on Twitter at @DanMing, @Carter_Sherman, and @VillaviMD. (Plus, if you want to ask questions about the big abortion case in front of the Supreme Court this week, we can answer those too.) Proof: submitted by /u/VICENews [link] [comments] |
