Live: Hearing on challenge to Missouri abortion ban

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:58:36 GMT

ST. LOUIS - A crucial court hearing on a lawsuit challenging Missouri’s controversial abortion ban is set to take place on Thursday. The case could have major implications for the future of Missouri’s law, which bans most abortions.The hearing is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. at the Carnahan Courthouse downtown. The lawsuit was filed back in January against the state of Missouri on behalf of more than a dozen different religious leaders who support abortion rights and want Missouri’s law overturned. The suit claims that Missouri’s abortion ban violates the state’s commitment to the separation of church and state. It seeks a permanent injunction barring the state from enforcing its abortion law and also a declaration that provisions of the law violate the Missouri constitution.The lawsuit argues that the Missouri lawmakers who passed the current abortion law imposed their own religious beliefs on others who don’t share them. The Brennan Center for Justice says the case is among 38 lawsuit...

Opinion: Nurses should not administer anesthesia without doctor supervision

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:58:36 GMT

Gov. Jared Polis’ decision to fully “opt out” of the federal requirement that a physician supervise the administration of anesthesia by a nurse anesthetist – a requirement adhered to by the majority of states – jeopardizes Coloradans’ health and safety while failing to improve care or cut healthcare costs.Governors are permitted to remove their states from the safety requirement for facilities billing Medicare or Medicaid after consulting with the state’s boards of medicine and nursing and determining opt-out is in the “best interests of the state’s citizens.” In this case, the governor – ignoring the state medical board’s unanimous opposition – said opting out provides an additional tool to help hospitals “provide care efficiently and safely.” The governor also said that “by allowing CRNAs to focus on patients rather than supervisors, the state can help hospitals be more efficient and ensure the skills of nurses are available to more patients.”As a board-certified anesthesiologist ...

Proposed ban on Russian aluminium products will dramatically hit EU wire industry and green agenda

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:58:36 GMT

As the European Commission this month finalizes its 12th sanctions package against Russia for its attack on Ukraine, several options appear to be on the table – from relatively unimpactful to potentially far-reaching. What is alarming is that the latter category may include entries that could not only hurt European importers and consumers rather than Russian exporters and producers, but also undermine EU’s green agenda, one of its hallmark policies.  According to market sources, one of the sanctions discussed by EU countries, alongside new restrictions against Russian military and IT, is a ban on Russian imports of aluminium wire rod, foil, and extrusions. While the move has not been officially approved yet and some EU member countries appear to be against it, the very fact that it is on the table for the first time since EU started sanctioning Russia’s economy in February 2022 signify both lack of new ideas and poor understanding that some restrictions can impact EU consumers as mu...
