‘Born alive’ abortion bill OK’d in Kansas, sent to governor

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 07:51:33 GMT

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Doctors accused of not providing enough care to infants born during abortion procedures in Kansas could face lawsuits and criminal charges under a bill that won final passage Tuesday in the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature. The legislation faces an uncertain fate in a legal and political climate that’s made Kansas an outlier on abortion policy among states with GOP-led legislatures. The Kansas House voted 86-36 to approve a proposed “born-alive infants protection” law similar to a proposed law that Montana voters rejected in November. The Senate approved the measure last week and it goes next to Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly, who vetoed such a bill in 2019.The Senate voted 31-9 for the bill last week, meaning it passed both chambers with more than the two-thirds majorities necessary to override a potential veto from Kelly. “We can have differing views on abortion and still agree on the need for this legislation as a humanitarian issue,” the Kan...

Relief, but some mixed feelings, as Finland joins NATO

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 07:51:33 GMT

HELSINKI (AP) — The selling points of the charming bed-and-breakfast are its century-old buildings, its spacious rooms and its proximity to Russia, a short cross-country ski trip to the east.For Russians, it was place to stay when they came to buy dairy goods and dish soap in the closest part of the European Union, which became a part of NATO on Tuesday. For Finns with roots in the Karelia region, which covers parts of both Finland and Russia, they could go across the border to buy cheap gas and car parts and visit sites of the clashes between Finnish forces and the Soviet Red Army during World War II.The harmony of the Kuuksenkaari bed-and-breakfast was briefly interrupted Tuesday morning when owners Eija Hiltunen and Eero Tuomisto argued, peacefully and quietly, about the necessity of Finland joining NATO, the Finnish flag lifted alongside 30 others in Brussels.For Eija Hiltunen, who moved to the northern Karelia region with her husband more than a decade ago, Finland becoming par...

Wall Street dips, snaps win streak after weak economic data

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 07:51:33 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell on Wall Street Tuesday after reports on the economy came in weaker than expected. The S&P 500 dropped 23.91 points, or 0.6%, to 4,100.60 to break a four-day winning streak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 198.77, or 0.6%, to 33,402.38, and the Nasdaq composite sank 63.13, or 0.5%, to 12,126.33. Investors are still split on whether the U.S. economy will fall into a recession and how badly corporate profits are set to drop. The biggest question remains what the Federal Reserve will do next with interest rates after hiking them furiously over the last year to get high inflation under control. The reports on job openings and factory orders released Tuesday may have heightened recession fears. But they may also give the Fed reason to hold rates steady at its next meeting, for the first time in more than a year, offering a possible upside for markets.One report showed employers advertised 9.9 million job openings in February, a sharper fall-off than e...

TORONTO — Canada’s main stock index was largely unchanged Tuesday as strength in telecom, technology, utilities and battery metals helped offset weakness in other sectors, while U.S. markets moved lower. The S&P/TSX composite index was down 2.52 points at 20,275.76.In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 198.77 points at 33,402.38.The S&P 500 index was down 23.91 points at 4,100.60, while the Nasdaq composite was down 63.12 points at 12,126.33.Tuesday’s market was driven by recession worries, said Jules Boudreau, senior economist at Mackenzie Investments. “Bond yields are down and defensive stocks are outperforming, especially in the U.S. but also in Canada,” he said. JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Tuesday in a letter to shareholders that the banking crisis isn’t over, and its repercussions will last for years. He also said the odds of a recession have increased. Meanwhile, U.S. job openings decreased in February, though Boudreau noted that q...
