FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hosted the world’s most powerful leaders in Italy last week, and reportedly made a few foes over a flap involving the removal of abortion language from the G7’s final declaration of priorities. But here in the United States, she’s winning praise from pro-life Americans, including former Vice President Mike Pence, founder of Advancing American Freedom. “When radical pro-abortion Biden administration officials demanded that the words ‘abortion’ and ‘reproductive rights’ be included in the G7’s official statement, you stood strong for life. By doing so, you stood not just for pro-life Italians, but for every pro-life citizen of the G7 countries,” Pence wrote in a letter to Meloni. Pence’s June 19 letter, shared exclusively with The Daily Signal, expresses his “gratitude and admiration for your uncompromising stand for life.” (See the full letter below.) The reported G7 dispute, which Meloni has downplayed, stemmed from language in last year’s G7 declaration from Hiroshima, Japan: We reaffirm our full commitment to achieving comprehensive [sexual and reproductive health and rights] for all, including by addressing access to safe and legal abortion and post-abortion care. This year’s G7 declaration was altered to remove any reference to abortion: We reiterate our commitments in the Hiroshima leaders’ communique to universal access to adequate, affordable, and quality health services for women, including comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights for all. The conservative and Catholic Meloni reportedly received pushback from President Joe Biden for removing the abortion language, according to the BBC. Biden, also a Catholic, has made abortion a centerpiece of his reelection campaign despite his church’s strong opposition.

French President Emmanuel Macron, whose party faces a critical election in the coming weeks, took a swipe at Italy when asked about the G7 declaration. “You don’t have the same sensibilities in your country,” Macron said. “France has a vision of equality between women and men, but it’s not a vision shared by all the political spectrum.” Italy legalized abortion in 1978. Meloni’s mother almost aborted her, but made a last-minute decision to spare her life, the prime minister wrote in her autobiography.

Since leaving office, he’s remained a strong advocate for the pro-life cause, encouraging Republican politicians to stand firm and contrast their views with the position of Democrats. His letter takes a swipe at those “supposedly conservative politicians” who fail to do so. Read the full letter below.

Ten years after its debut in the U.S., the Yamaha MT-09 has been updated and refined for 2024 while maintaining its wild side that we enjoyed on the first generation. Updates on this generation are extensive, including new acoustic amplifier grilles, an improved transmission, more aggressive ergonomics, a stiffer chassis, updated suspension, new Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tires, a new 5-inch TFT display, new switchgear, and a complete electronics package. We rode the MT-09 in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California during Yamaha’s press launch and then rode the bike home after the launch, testing the MT-09 on a variety of roads. We came away impressed with the bike’s refinements and happy to see how this motorcycle has evolved in the past decade. 2024 Yamaha MT-09 Specifications Base Price: $10,599 Website: YamahaMotorsports.com Warranty: 1 yr., unltd. miles Engine Type: Liquid-cooled transverse inline-Triple, DOHC w/ 4 valves per cyl.

A day after the bride was riding in the bed of a truck and flew out, a Utah couple married and started sharing about safely securing vehicle items on the road. On April 26th, a day before their wedding, a young couple was getting things ready and needed to move a king-size mattress to their new home. They put the mattress in the back of the truck and decided that the bride-to-be, Lydia, would lay on top of it so it wouldn’t fly out while Alex, the groom-to-be, drove the truck. RELATED: Groom Surprises Everyone As He Turns and Tearfully Recites Wedding Vows for Stepson Lydia Was Riding in the Bed of the Truck This was not the best idea, as the couple now acknowledges. “Wasn’t really thinking,” Alex explained about the decision to have Lydia ride in the back “Just was thinking of the fastest possible way to get the mattress from A to B, which just happened to be throwing the mattress in the back and putting Lydia on top.” “I honestly was like, ‘Oh, yeah, I’ll sit in the back,’ like that sounds great. I’ll just hold the mattress down in the back of the truck,” Lydia says about riding in the bed of the truck. The truck was traveling around 50 miles per hour when the mattress, with Lydia on top, launched from the back of the truck. She and the mattress landed in the middle of the road. Luckily, Lydia was able to get out of the way of oncoming traffic, or it might have been much worse. She Was Still Able to Walk Down the Aisle She suffered from severe road rash and went to the hospital, but she was able to walk down the aisle the next day with a few scrapes and chipped front teeth. “I remember the whole thing other than landing,” she said. “I don’t remember how I landed but I flew out just screaming and then I remember just rolling on the street.” Alex got quite scared, “I’m looking in my rearview mirror, and I see my fiancé rolling away from me. My first thought was that she had died,” he said. But God protected Lydia, and she was able to walk away from the ordeal.

According to the Utah Department of Public Safety Office, UHP troopers respond to more than 70 daily calls on road debris alone. Between 2019 and 2024, 16 fatalities were connected to unsecured load-related crashes. According to the officials, here is what you can do if you need to move objects on the road: Place lighter items below heavier items to keep them in place. Securely fasten the heavy items directly to your vehicle. Tie down items using rope, netting, straps or chains. Securely fasten large items directly to your vehicle. Add extra protection by covering the entire load with a tarp or netting. Make sure that any covering is securely tied down. Don't overload vehicles or trailers. Double-check to be sure the load is secure. Ropes, straps and netting are load-securing devices. Speed, weight and gravity are insufficient to make your load safe.
