BOSTON – As the U.S. Supreme Court wrestled Wednesday with one of the most significant abortion cases to reach its chambers in two decades, pro-life advocates in Massachusetts highlighted legislative inaction in Boston on a measure similar to the one at the center of the high court case.
Like the Texas law, which has been challenged as a backdoor method of shutting down abortion providers in the Lone Star State, the measure proposed in Massachusetts also takes aim at abortion clinics by focusing on licensing and other regulations to govern their operations. But Bay State lawmakers have bottled up the bill in committee since June.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is charging into the increasingly divisive White House race with a verbal lashing of Donald Trump and a plea for fellow Republicans to shun the front-runner for the good of country and party.
Romney will brand the billionaire businessman as "a phony, a fraud" whose "promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University" in a speech Thursday morning at the University of Utah on Thursday morning. The Associated Press obtained excerpts of his remarks in advance.
