Initially, the Dodgers social media account claimed ICE agents had arrived and "requested permission to access the parking lots. They were...

The lower house of the United Kingdom’s Parliament voted in favor of a measure to decriminalize some late-term abortions, the biggest reform to Britain’s abortion laws in nearly 60 years. Abortions have been legal in England and Wales for up to 24 weeks and with the approval of two doctors. “Abortion in England and Wales is still a criminal offence. Under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, as well as the Infant Life (Preservation) Act 1929 (which criminalises later abortions), having or providing an abortion remains a crime that carries a life sentence. This is despite these laws having being repealed for Northern Ireland by Westminster in 2019 and 2020,” UK Parliament wrote. “Women accessing abortion in Great Britain do so under the Abortion Act 1967. But this law did not decriminalise abortion – it simply made it legal in certain, fixed circumstances. Under current law, abortions must be signed off by two doctors, they must take place in a hospital or premises approved by the Secretary of State for Health, and women must meet one of seven criteria that allows abortion,” it continued. “Any woman who undergoes an abortion without the permission of two doctors – for example by ordering pills online – can be prosecuted and receive a life sentence as her abortion takes place outside of the provisions of the Act,” it added. WATCH: With barely any debate and zero media scrutiny, the UK has voted to decriminalize abortion up to the moment of birth. Not 24 weeks.Not 30. Until the final breath before life begins. No national outcry. No televised debate. Just cold silence… and a signature. pic.twitter.com/QsNqwuUb4s — Sarah Fields (@SarahisCensored) June 19, 2025 NPR reports: In a landslide vote late Tuesday, lawmakers in the lower house of British parliament, the House of Commons, endorsed new legislation that bars women in England and Wales from ever being investigated, arrested, prosecuted or imprisoned for terminating their own pregnancies — no matter what term or trimester they’re in. The vote was 379 to 137. Abortion is allowed up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, and beyond that in certain cases, if the woman’s life is in danger. But abortions have to be approved by two doctors, except for those that are terminated at home within 10 weeks. Women who’ve ended their pregnancies outside those rules — for example by buying pills online and taking them at home, during the third trimester — have in some cases been prosecuted. The new law changes that. One of the most famous cases of women who’ve been prosecuted is that of Nicola Parker, who delivered a stillborn baby at home, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, after taking abortion medicine prescribed by a doctor over the phone when she was about 26 weeks pregnant. At trial, she told jurors she thought she was only six weeks along. She was arrested, jailed — and ultimately acquitted last month. “The new [law] is about recognizing that these women need care and support, and not criminalization,” the author of an amendment to the new law, MP Tonia Antoniazzi, told Parliament, calling the old law “outdated” and “Victorian.” “MPs who suppported the introduction of abortion up to birth yesterday cheered as the result was announced. Measures that would put women at risk and likely lead to an increase in late abortions should not be celebrated,” Right to Life UK wrote.

The amended bill needs to pass through both chambers of the UK parliament before it can become law. The vast majority of Britons believe women should have the right to an abortion, according to YouGov surveys stretching back to 2019. The latest poll, conducted in April, showed that 88% of respondents supported that right. Britain’s vote comes as its ally across the Atlantic has dramatically restricted abortion rights. Since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 – which had enshrined abortion as a constitutional right – many US states have introduced severe restrictions or outright bans on the practice. The changes have completely upended the landscape of reproductive health and choice in America.

Iran has launched more than 400 ballistic missiles indiscriminately at Israel in the last week, targeting civilian populations — and late this week it stepped its attacks up by using a cluster bomb in an attack on a hospital, according to the Israeli military.. Cluster bombs are widely condemned due to the fact that they’re impossible to target. “Cluster munitions have warheads that burst and scatter numerous bomblets, and are known for causing indiscriminate harm to civilians,” The New York Times has noted. The evidence that Iran used cluster bombs is overwhelming. “Iran likely targeted Beersheba with a cluster bomb in its latest attack on Israel, footage shows,” Times of Israel military correspondent Emanuel fabian reported on X. “Videos and photos from the southern city show several impacts of small munitions at multiple locations in the city, indicating that a ballistic missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead was used in the attack. One of the small munitions hit a daycare. No injuries were reported in Beersheba. Yesterday, the IDF Home Front Command confirmed that Iran launched at least one ballistic missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead at central Israel. It said the missile’s warhead opened up while descending, at around 7 kilometers altitude, spreading around 20 smaller munitions with around 2.5 kilograms of explosives, in a radius of around 8km.” Iran likely targeted Beersheba with a cluster bomb in its latest attack on Israel, footage shows.

One missile struck next to a mosque. The Iranian regime is firing indiscriminately at civilians—with zero regard for who they hit,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry reported. ?

An ex-Army Sergeant faces up to ten years in prison after he pleaded guilty to attempting to give American military secrets to China.  Joseph Daniel Schmidt, 31, last stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, pled guilty on Wednesday to charges of attempting to deliver national defense information and retention of national defense information. He will be sentenced in September by U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour. In addition to prison, Schmidt could be hit with a $250,000 fine.  Schmidt was an active duty soldier from January 2015 to January 2020 and mainly worked with the 109th Military Intelligence Battalion at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. During his military service, he had access to information designated as secret and top secret, according to the Justice Department.  After leaving the military in January 2020, Schmidt emailed the Chinese Consulate in Turkey and the Chinese security service, offering to provide them with national defense information.  In March 2020, Schmidt flew to Hong Kong, where he attempted to give Chinese security officials intelligence he had kept from his time in the military. According to the Justice Department, he produced multiple documents detailing the “high level secrets” he had in his possession and offered to give a device that allows access to secure military computers to the Chinese.  He flew back to the United States in October 2023 when he was arrested in San Francisco.  “Joseph Daniel Schmidt was once a trusted guardian of our nation’s secrets and swore an oath to defend and protect U.S. national security,” Assistant Director Suzanne Turner of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division said in October 2023 when Schmidt was indicted. “As alleged by the government, Schmidt betrayed his promise and potentially placed our nation at risk in his attempts to pass national defense information to Chinese security services.” In recent years, the FBI has made a number of arrests involving former American soldiers accused of attempting to give sensitive military information to China.  Earlier this year, former Army intelligence officer Korbein Schultz was sentenced to seven years in prison for selling critical military documents to an individual believed to be tied to the Chinese government. Schultz was paid $42,000 for information on American military exercises and technical equipment manuals. Just last month, the Justice Department announced that Jian Zhao and Li Tian, both active duty Army soldiers also stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and former soldier Ruoyu Duan had been charged with stealing U.S. military secrets. They were accused of taking top-secret hard drives, information on weapon systems, and documents on missile defenses to sell to individuals based in China.
