Almost two-thirds of abortions (63%) performed in the United States in 2023 were performed with drugs, reported this Tuesday the Guttmacher Institute, a major research center that defends women’s right to voluntary termination of pregnancy.
The results of this study have been made public a week before a Supreme Court hearing on the restoration, by an ultra-conservative appeals court, of restrictions on access to the abortion pill.
The Guttmacher Institute reports a new increase in the proportion of medical abortions out of the total abortions performed in the official health system: 63% in 2023, compared to 53% in 2020.
This increase is probably due to greater access, particularly the delivery of abortion pills by mail and the possibility of telemedicine consultations, it explained on its website.
The statistics do not take into account “medical abortions that take place outside the official health system, nor abortion pills sent by mail to people in states where abortion is completely prohibited,” he said.
Since the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority, abolished the federal guarantee of the right to abortion in June 2022, states have been free to legislate in this area.
About twenty have banned abortion,

Stern requested figures from the Ministries of the Interior for all sixteen German states. The states of Berlin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Bremen and Thuringia were unable to provide current figures, meaning the actual number is likely even higher.
The Minister of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia responded in the magazine: “Police officers who do not support the constitution, but pursue extremist positions, pose a great danger to democracy and the rule of law.” He doesn’t want these people on the police force, he added.
Investigations into possible extremists within the police forces have been going on in Germany for years. The Federal Ministry of the Interior published another report on the situation in 2022. At the time, it was revealed that over a three-year period, 327 German police employees had links to right-wing extremism.

It was quite restless this morning in the Vogelbuurt in Noord. First someone tried to shoot at a house in Sijsjesstraat. A few hours later, around 6:00 am an explosion which caused a lot of damage. A family of five lives in the house and no one was injured, although that is almost a miracle according to the father. “It’s terrible. No one wants to experience this.”
Camera images
The father had already gone to the police station at night, he says. On the CCTV footage from the camera hanging in front of the door, he saw that someone had tried to shoot at their house. “Around a quarter to three there is someone with a gun. He wants to shoot at the door, but the gun malfunctions. He tries to do it, but it doesn’t work and then he runs away.”

The neighborhood is then woken up around six o’clock by an explosion. “It was really brutal,” says one of the neighbors.
Efforts To Change Nebraskas Electoral Vote System Fall…
A Late Push to Change Nebraska’s Electoral Vote System Appears Doomed
A late attempt to modify Nebraska’s electoral vote system, supported by former President Donald Trump and his allies, seems unlikely to succeed in the final days of the state’s legislative session. The proposal, sponsored by state Sen. Loren Lippincott (R), faces significant procedural challenges that make its passage nearly impossible.
Sen. John Arch (R), the leader of the Nebraska Legislature, recently announced restrictions on major amendments to bills on the floor, effectively eliminating Lippincott’s best opportunity for advancing his proposal.
“The time for adding bills to bills is over,” declared Arch on Friday morning.
The state’s legislative session concludes on April 18, with only four scheduled meeting days following this weekend. While there is a possibility that Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen (R) could call a special session to consider the bill, it remains uncertain whether it would garner enough votes to overcome a filibuster.
“It doesn’t have the votes to get out of committee and it doesn’t have the votes for cloture,” explained Tony Baker, legislative aide to state Sen. Tom Brewer (R), referring respectively to advancing through committee deliberation and ending a filibuster-type obstruction.
