Prosecuting people for taking abortion pills would not have been legal in the state of Alabama, civil-rights experts told Insider. The FDA authorized brick-and-mortar pharmacies across the country to pursue certification to carry abortion pills, a move that could expand abortion access nationwide. Kay Ivey in 2019, specifically says abortion providers can be held criminally liable, but people who get abortions cannot be.

The election results arrived too late for our deadline on Tuesday, we regret to say, though you can check OpinionJournal.com for our online coverage overnight. But one thing we can say even before all the votes are counted: If Republicans J.D. Vance and Mehmet Oz win their Senate races in Ohio and Pennsylvania, respectively, they’ll owe their biggest debt to Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell . Donald Trump’s endorsement helped both win their GOP primaries, but then the two struggled to raise money for the general election as they trailed their opponents in the polls. Mr. Trump will crow if both candidates win Tuesday, but the man who saved the day is the Senate leader he calls the “Old Crow.”

Both the midterm elections and inflation are likely to provide major cues for Wall Street after a volatile week dominated by mixed jobs report and hawkish comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. All the three major U.S. stock indexes are in bear market territory, from their previous record closing highs.

Хотя неудивительно, что такие бренды, как Nike и Adidas, так востребованы, учитывая ажиотаж вокруг кроссовок в последние несколько лет, интересно отметить, как часто товары брендов быстрой моды также перепродаются. Конечно, интригует то, что люди платят за бывшую в употреблении одежду в магазинах быстрой моды, учитывая, что такие наряды часто недолговечны. Согласно Input, в отчете также было обнаружено, что больше всего перепродаются товары в Великобритании от брендов быстрой моды. Покупатели стремились «увеличить долговечность своих продуктов», даже если они поступают от лейблов сверхбыстрой моды, таких как британский PrettyLittleThing. Это можно рассматривать как обнадеживающую тенденцию, поскольку молодые потребители повторно используют свою бывшую в употреблении одежду.
