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.

There's a letter from Mark Zuckerberg said that the Biden Harris administration pressured him and how he regrets being influenced by that. In his own words. It was already posted.
No speculation at all.
Yes. A letter with no specifics and no actual evidence. All you have are generic claims with no evidence.
You do know that congress held multiple hearings on this subject and couldn't highlight any evidence of actual pressuring, right?
Congress needs to pass a funding bill before Oct. 1 to avoid a government shutdown, a prospect that has caused conflict in the past year but should have been fairly straightforward this time. That's because most Republicans and Democrats generally acknowledge they'll need a short-term patch that keeps spending levels steady, known as a continuing resolution or a CR, to avert the shutdown in time.

But hard-right conservatives are considering throwing a curveball into those plans: linking the CR to a proposal that requires proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Three GOP lawmakers told POLITICO the discussions on linking the two are ongoing and include urging Speaker Mike Johnson to put the proposal on the floor the week of Sept. 9. A standalone citizenship voting bill passed the House earlier this year, with unanimous GOP support and five Democratic votes, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has ignored the legislation.

But attaching that proposal could doom the spending package in the House. Democrats likely won't vote for it, and Republicans aren't certain they would have the votes to pass it on their own. GOP leadership is facing skepticism from more pragmatic Republicans who don't want to flirt with a shutdown. And there's a pocket of hard-right conservatives who generally oppose any short-term funding patch, even if it has conservative wins.
As a result, it sets up a potential floor defeat just weeks before an election where control of the House majority and White House seem like a toss-up. Still, conservatives say most Republicans want to attach the voting legislation to the spending bill as soon as they return from their extended Summer recess, despite the long odds in the Senate.
Once again, it appears that right wing extremists in congress aren't interested in finding common ground, they are interested in forcing their unpopular ideas upon the American people.

Requiring proof of citizenship to vote isn't an "unpopular idea".
It's the Republicans who shot down the plan to keep asylum seekers in Mexico while their cases wound through the court system. Maybe that's why it happened. However, there is no mention if these players are here illegally or not. Venezuela used to be a beautiful wealthy country. Personally, Maduro deserves a good assassination but I don't think our country is into that business anymore. Hopefully Maduro will become Russia's problem.
Is just more political theater from republicans while they play with our government. There's no benefit to the people there's only political posturing in an election year. The congressional Republicans really don't have any legislative victories to campaign on so they need stuff like this.

Be that as it may, that's a deflection from the issue of why those gangs are here in the first place.
Did you or the article say why the "gangs" are here or is there some speculation that you agree with? I wonder if you think that Venezuela is emptying violent criminals out of prisons and sending them to the USA like Trump keeps insisting.

Well, you're right in that might be how it happened.
The rest is disinformation. Much like when in regards to Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco you claimed that "They (the Taliban) had time to steal our tanks and weapons to arm themselves for the attacks at the airport."
Biden, in his first days in office, got rid of Trump's remain in Mexico policy, and then continued to fight against the policy in the courts.
