Washington (AFP) - Republican lawmakers in the southern US state of Louisiana gave final approval Thursday to a bill that would criminalize possession of abortion pills without a prescription. The legislation, passed 29-7 by the state senate and 64-29 in the state house, is the first in the country to classify the drugs as controlled and dangerous substances. It is expected to be signed by Republican Governor Jeff Landry. The bill comes as abortion rights are being hotly debated ahead of November's presidential election pitting Democratic incumbent Joe Biden against likely Republican challenge...

On KFF Health News’ “What the Health?,” chief Washington correspondent Julie Rovner sat down with Atul Grover of the Association of American Medical Colleges to talk about its recent analysis showing that graduating medical students are avoiding training in states with abortion bans and major restrictions. Among those who applied for residencies this year, that was true not only for aspiring OB-GYNs and others who regularly treat pregnant patients, but for all specialties. Fourteen states, primarily in the Midwest and South, have banned nearly all abortions. The new analysis by the AAMC found ...

Faroe Islands lawmakers have narrowly failed to reform the Danish territory's strict abortion law. The Danish news agency Ritzau reported that the Faroese Parliament was deadlocked at 15 votes for and 15 against a bill legalizing abortion up to the 12th week of pregnancy. Under the current law, which dates back to 1956, abortions are only permitted in the Faroe Islands if the health of the mother or the foetus is seriously at risk, in cases of rape or incest, or if the mother is deemed unfit to care for a child. Lawmaker Hervør Palsdottir from the left-wing Tjódveldi party called the decision ...

Washington (AFP) - US wellness influencers are increasingly targeting birth control pills, pushing their followers to abandon the contraceptives with false claims about infertility and low libido that researchers say leave them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies. The explosion of misinformation on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram comes as reproductive rights take center stage in the looming presidential election, in a country where abortion is banned or restricted in nearly half the states.

ST. CHARLES, Mo. — Democrat Lucas Kunce is trying to pin reproductive care restrictions on Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), betting it will boost his chances of unseating the incumbent in November. In a recent ad campaign, Kunce accuses Hawley of jeopardizing reproductive care, including in vitro fertilization.

Italy has long had one of the lowest birth rates in the EU, and the country is ageing at a much faster rate than other member states, and it appears to be getting worse. According to government statistics, the average number of children per Italian woman has dropped from 1.24 in 2022 to 1.2 in 2023. Experts say that if the country's population crisis continues, Italy’s population of 59 million could fall by almost 1 million by 2030. And the effects of the crisis are already being felt, with the ageing of the population causing problems for Italy's healthcare and pension systems. Addressing the...

Isabella Rosario Blum was wrapping up medical school and considering residency programs to become a family practice physician when she got some frank advice: If she wanted to be trained to provide abortions, she shouldn’t stay in Arizona. Blum turned to programs mostly in states where abortion access — and, by extension, abortion training — is likely to remain protected, like California, Colorado, and New Mexico. Arizona has enacted a law banning most abortions after 15 weeks. “I would really like to have all the training possible,” she said, “so of course that would have still been a limitati...
