The abortion law builds on legislation passed in 2010 that represented a major shift for a traditionally Catholic country, transforming Spain into one of the most progressive countries in Europe on reproductive rights. Spain's constitutional court last week rejected a challenge by the right-wing Popular Party against allowing abortions in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
The debate will be heated in Spain, I imagine, as the conservative opposition pushes back. My daughter had horrible menstrual pain during her adolescence and young adulthood. I'm certain that she would have benefitted from that time.
This is not so much news, but a commentary. I think it helps explain why Trump is "handing out pardons like lollipops". He has no interest in the hard part of governing. Is he working a health care plan, because you all remember the concepts of a plan during the campaign? How about fulfilling his promises about affordability, which now is apparently a scam. This old fart can't even stay awake while his bootlickers lavish him with praise.
Instead of focusing on governing, Trump spends his days chasing entertainment, attention and renovation projects that reflect a presidency stuck in adolescence.
LOL, the only thing this explains is that the columnist who wrote this garbage is a TDS cry baby adolescent himself.
Good thing Trump won the election. I wonder how much havoc Tim Walz and co would have caused if elected. Whistle blowers have spoken out about missing welfare/heathcare funds under Walz's watch and he is now being investigated.
"WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today launched an investigation into widespread fraud in Minnesota's social services programs under Governor Tim Walz's watch, the state's efforts to cover it up, and retaliation against whistleblowers who sought to protect taxpayer dollars. In letters to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, Chairman Comer seeks documents, communications, and records as part of the Committee's investigation"
"This is not an isolated scheme,” Thompson, the U.S. attorney, said in a press release. "From Feeding Our Future to Housing Stabilization Services and now Autism Services, these massive fraud schemes form a web that has stolen billions of dollars in taxpayer money. Each case we bring exposes another strand of this network"

Interesting that this is coming to light at the same time that Trump is pardoning drug lords and the Epstein files are due to be released. Such an odd coincidence. Not to mention that mess with Venezuela.
That's funny. After all the complaints about his governing, now you're going to change course and go with he's just not interesting in governing.
Except that he's not governing. He appointed a bunch of grifters and suck-ups who are creating chaos at every turn.all the while the president plays golf, and slaps gold paint and his name on everything.
Remember the days when presidents worked to pass legislation and had actual experts in place to run federal departments?

If that is what you really believe you are more than likely not watching the (correct) news.

By many metrics, some say his term is one of the most successful in history thus far.
You may not like or agree with what he's doing or how he does it, and he certainly enjoys the benefits of being the President. But to say he's not governing isn't accurate. And frankly, is irrelevant. If he accomplishes what he does playing golf everyday, who cares?
I agree with Daisy. That article you provided sounds like the writing of a whiny sore loser.
Oh, you can't remember what presidents normally do, so you resort to an ad hominem attack. Clever.
I did not mean for my comment to be any kind of an attack. I was just (trying) to point out that the mainstream/legacy media find it extremely different to report on anything that Trump accomplishes.
Here are a few things he has done that you may have missed bc of the poor reporting on legacy/liberal news. Agree or disagree with some of the policies but he has been doing what President "normally" do.
"Whew! The US political class and the legacy media are having difficulty in keeping up with the actions of a 79-year-old president. Who knows what might be accomplished over the next 39 months of his presidency?
A lot more could be done if the judicial tyranny and lawfare being used by the Democrats to thwart the public policies of a duly elected US president can be stopped!
I do not consider the White House website to be an independent, nonpartisan source of information.
passing legislation is much tougher than signing executive orders, and is actually how presidents have governed in the past. Trump signed his big bill in July. What has he passed since?
How many pardons has he signed? How many court cases have been ruled against him? How are soybean farmers doing? How many jobs have been lost in the last few months? How many US attorneys have been improperly appointed?

Well, you're certainly free to tell us what you disagree with the WH website on. Same with the other sources we cited.
I agree that Trump hasn't passed much in quantity of legislation. Of course, conservatives generally don't believe in creating legislation just for the purpose of doing so.
And, as has been pointed out in these threads in the past, perhaps by you even, that's the job and function of Congress.
And, I agree with you he hasn't solved all the world's problems in his 10 months.
It seems you re backing off that he hasn't accomplished anything. That's progress. Congrats.
It's a good thing those goal posts you put up are on wheels.
