Quite possibly the most telling opening to a news article I’ve seen recently…

“Sitting onstage in front of a crowd of 2,000 evangelical Christians, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a law Friday immediately banning the vast majority of abortions in Iowa.”

'Without an improvement in MMR vaccination rates, the capital could experience an outbreak of between 40,000 and 160,0000 cases, fresh analysis by the UKHSA suggests. Experts said an outbreak of this scale could lead to dozens of deaths and thousands of people hospitalised.'
