Michigan repeals 1931 abortion ban

A majority of states had significant restrictions on abortion prior to the Roe decision.

 

Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed into law on Wednesday a measure repealing the state's 1931 abortion ban that made no exceptions for rape or incest.

 

The ban had gone unenforced since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a constitutional right to the procedure, while a state judge declared it unconstitutional after the high court overturned that precedent.

 

"This is not a trigger law, this is a zombie law. This predates Roe, and it’s a threat of coming back to haunt us all. Who wants to watch me slay a zombie?" Whitmer said while signing its repeal, The Hill reported.

 

"Today, we’re going to take action to ensure that our statutes, our laws reflect our values and our constitution. This is a long overdue step and it proves that when we keep fighting to protect everyone’s ability to make their own decisions about their bodies, we can win," she added.

FedEx combines air, ground, other operations to slash costs

 

NEW YORK (AP) — FedEx will combine almost all of its ground, air and other operations by next year as part of a $4 billion cost cutting plan.

 

The package delivery company said Wednesday that FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Services and other FedEx operating companies will be rolled into a single entity by June 2024 in a companywide reorganization. FedEx Freight, the company’s freight transportation services division, will continue as a stand-alone company within Federal Express Corp.

 

Raj Subramaniam will serve as president and CEO of the combined organization. John Smith will become president and CEO of U.S. and Canada ground operations at FedEx Express and assume leadership of surface operations across the FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, and FedEx Freight businesses. Richard Smith will serve as president and CEO, airline and international at FedEx Express, overseeing all other regions and FedEx Logistics.

 

The company expects to realize permanent cost reductions of $4 billion from the reshuffle at some point during fiscal 2025.

Bill Clinton: 'personal stake' in Ukraine plight, after agreeing to deal taking away country's nukes

The deal among Russia, Ukraine and the United States was reached in 1994.

 

Former President Bill Clinton appears to be expressing regret for his participation in a 1994 agreement among Russia, Ukraine and the United States that asked Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons.

 

Clinton said Tuesday he feels a “personal stake” in Ukraine's struggle to thwart Russia's invasion, which in now roughly 14 months old, after having agreed to the roughly 30-year-old deal.

 

Clinton, a Democrat president from 1993 to 2001, made the acknowledgement in an interview Tuesday with RTÉ, Ireland's National Television and Radio Broadcaster.

 

"I feel a personal stake because I got them [Ukraine] to agree to give up their nuclear weapons," he said.

 

Clinton also said nobody believes "Russia would have pulled this stunt if Ukraine still had their weapons."

 

The agreement got rid of nuclear weapons still on Ukraine's territory after the dismantling of the Soviet Union.

 

The agreement also asked for Russia to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and borders, a deal Clinton now seems to consider shortsighted.

 

In the deal, Clinton offered former Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk $700 million and "strong security assurances" in exchange for the surrendering of the weapons.

 

Clinton also said he knows now-Russia President Vladimir Putin never supported the agreement then-President Boris Yeltsin made never to interfere with Ukraine's territorial boundaries.
