TO A PHOTON,thesunis like a crowded nightclub. It’s 27 million degrees inside and packed with excited bodies—helium atoms fusing, nuclei colliding, positrons sneaking off with neutrinos. When the photon heads for the exit, the journey there will take, on average, 100,000 years. (There’s no quick way to jostle past 10 septillion dancers, even if you do move at the speed of light.) Once at the surface, the photon might set off solo into the night. Or, if it emerges in the wrong place at the wrong time, it might find itself stuck inside acoronal mass ejection, a mob of charged particles with the power toupend civilizations.

Getting an abortion will be more difficult and even illegal in large swaths of the US now that the Supreme Courthas struck downRoe v. Wade, allowing states to outlaw and even criminalize the medical procedure.

Though it was already challenging to access abortion in many parts of the country, the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday will drastically alter the nationwide legal landscape for reproductive rights. WithRoe, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion in the US, out of the way,26 statesare expected to eliminate or severely restrict abortion access, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a sexual health and reproductive rights research and advocacy group that tracks state legislation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Fridaystripped away women’s constitutional protections for abortion, a fundamental and deeply personal change for Americans’ lives after nearly a half-century under Roe v. Wade. The court’s overturning of the landmark court ruling is likely tolead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.

The ruling, unthinkable just a few years ago, was the culmination of decades of efforts by abortion opponents, made possible by an emboldened right side of the court fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump.

Both sides predicted the fight over…

The Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending recognition of a constitutional right to abortion and giving individual states the power to allow, limit, or ban the practice altogether.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa hunters will be able to use semi-automatic weapons including AR-15 rifles to kill deer in more parts of the state during a newly created antlerless season in January under a bill signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds.

Iowa lawmakers passed the bill in May and it was signed by Reynolds on Friday.

Advocates including Republican Sen. Ken Rozenboom, an Oskaloosa farmer, said the new law is designed to help control the deer population and respond to complaints that excess deer eat corn and are hazardous to motorists.
