ABORTION IS PLAYING OUT IN

BANS ABORTION ENFORCEMENT OF

DOCTOR FROM WEST MICHIGAN, THE
QUESTIONING THEIR MUCH LIKE WHAT
WE HEARD FROM YESTERDAY. THOSE

CASE OF BEN SHOULD NOT GO INTO
EFFECT BECAUSE OF A WIDE IMPACT
ON WOMEN WITH COMPLICATIONS

THE SPAN. ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE
LAWYERS LAWYERS, PROSECUTORS
FROM AROUND THE STATE WHO WANT
TO START CHARGING ABORTION
PROVIDERS WITH CRIMES, CALLING A
CONTROVERSIAL WITNESS. EARLIER
TODAY, A RESEARCHER WHO FOUND
INCREASED MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS
IN WOMEN WHO HAD ABORTIONS. THE
GUIDANCE WAS TO ADDRESS
QUESTIONS REGARDING HOW WE
TYPICALLY MANAGE THESE CLINICAL
CONDITIONS, AND IT WAS TO
PROCEED AS USUAL WITH EXTRA CARE
TO DOCUMENTATION UNTIL WE HAD
CLEAR, DEFINITIVE LEGAL GUIDANCE
. MY OPINION IS THE BEST STUDIES
, THE ONES THAT ARE THE LARGEST
WITH APPROPRIATE CONTROL GROUPS
. RETENTION OF SUBJECTS HAVE
MADE ALL THESE METHODS LOGICAL
CRITERIA. THAT BOTTOM LINE
CONCLUSION IS THAT ABORTION
INCREASES THE RISK SIGNIFICANTLY
. A WOMAN OF WOMEN EXPERIENCING
MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS.
RESEARCHERS. FINDINGS HAVE BEEN
CRITICIZED BROADLY, INCLUDING BY
THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL
ASSOCIATION. THAT WAS PART OF
THE REASON THAT THE LAWYERS FOR
THE GOVERNOR TRIED TO THROW AT
HER ENTIRE TESTIMONY TODAY,
CALLING IT UNRELIABLE. THE JUDGE
SAYING HE’LL DECIDE THAT AT A
LATER EVIDENTIARY HEARING AS

BRUISING? WE’VE GOT THAT MORE
COMIN UP. AND BREAKING NEWS, A
TOP EXECUTIVE AT THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION PLEADS GUILTY IN A
DEAL THAT COULD MAKE HIM A STAR
WITNESS AGAINST THE COMPANY.
TRUMP ORGANIZATION CFO ALAN
WISENBERG PLEADED GUILTY TO ALL
OF HIS 15 TAX VIOLATION CHARGES
HE’S ACCUSED OF NOT PAYING TAXES
ON FRINGE BENEFITS HE GOT FROM
THE COMPANY LIKE LEASE PAYMENTS
FOR A CAR AND RENT FOR AN
APARTMENT. WISENBERG IS EXPECTED
TO GET A FIVE MONTH PRISON TERM.
UNDER THE PLEA DEAL. HE MAY ALSO
COOPERATE WITH PROSECUTORS
AGAINST THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION.
WHEN THE CASE GOES TO TRIAL THIS
FALL. AND IN ABOUT AN HOUR OF

CRITICAL HEARING AND THE FBI
SEARCH OF FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S MAR A LAGO HOME. THIS
JUDGE WILL DECIDE WHETHER TO
UNSEAL MORE MATERIALS FILED BY
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WHEN IT
TRIED TO GET APPROVAL FOR
WARRANTS. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK
OUTSIDE OF THE COURTHOUSE IN
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, THE
FORMER PRESIDENT IS PRESSING FOR
THE DOCUMENTS TO BE MADE PUBLIC,
WHILE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
SAYS THAT THAT WOULD JEOPARDIZE
ITS INVESTIGATION. SUSAN
MCGINNIS IS IN WASHINGTON D. C
WITH THE LATEST BEST. WHAT THE
SAME JUDGE WHO APPROVED THE
SEARCH WARRANT IS NOW LOOKING
INTO WHETHER OR NOT TO UNSEAL
THE AFFIDAVIT, WHICH INCLUDES
THE REASONING BEHIND IT. TODAY A
FLORIDA JUDGE DECIDES WHETHER TO
UNSEAL THE AFFIDAVIT IN THE
SEARCH OF DONALD TRUMP’S MORAL
LAGO PROPERTY. THE HIGHLY
SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS LAYING OUT
WHY PROSECUTORS BELIEVED
EVIDENCE OF A CRIME COULD BE
FOUND THERE. THE UNSEALING
HIGHLY SOUGHT BY TRUMP
REPUBLICANS AND SOME NEWS MEDIA,
BUT ONE THAT JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
SAYS COULD JEOPARDIZE THE
INVESTIGATION. MUCH OF OUR WORK
IS BY NECESSITY CONDUCTED OUT OF
THE PUBLIC EYE NEARLY TWO WEEKS
AFTER THE SEARCH AGENTS STILL
SIFTING THROUGH THE HUGE VOLUME
OF DOCUMENTS, JUSTICE IS ON THE
MOVE. WE’RE SEEING THAT IT’S NOT
ONLY AT THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE, IT’S IN GEORGIA. IT’S
CLEARLY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK
AND NOW IN THE MANHATTAN
DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, WITH
THE PRESIDENT’S FORMER CFO,
OFFERING TESTIMONY AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT AND TRUMP ATTORNEY
RUDY GIULIANI TESTIFIED BEFORE,
AND ATLANTA GRAND JURY NOW A
TARGET IN THAT PROBE INTO
ELECTION INTERFERENCE IN GEORGIA

HAVE RIGHT NOW IS FALSE TRUMP ON
SOCIAL MEDIA AGAIN, CALLING HIS
PHONE CONVERSATION ASKING
GEORGIA SECRETARY OF STATE BRAD
RAFFENSPERGER TO FIND HIM VOTES
PERFECT CALL AS TRUMP’S LEGAL
TROUBLES PILE UP HIS GRIP ON THE
GEO. O P ONLY TIGHTENING THOSE

LIZ YOU’RE FIRED, BUT WORD TRUMP
