The Church of Scientology’s presence in “That 70’s Show” actor Danny Masterson’s trial on criminal rape charges was not just a metaphorical elephant in the room — it has eclipsed elements of the trial and reverberated beyond the courtroom. ⬇️
insider.com/danny-masterso…
Masterson is a second-generation Scientologist, and the three rape accusers are all former members of the church.
insider.com/danny-masterso…
Though the Church of Scientology is not on trial with Masterson, facets of its operation are woven throughout testimony.

The trial is demystifying the organization, particularly its celebrity allure and hierarchy, in a way many have never seen before.

Olivier Charbonneau, a 28-year-old from Canada, got a vasectomy months before the US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

And once the news dropped, Charbonneau used social media to persuade other men to do the same. 👇

businessinsider.com/meet-a-canadia…
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade enraged Charbonneau — even though he doesn't live in the US.

businessinsider.com/meet-a-canadia…
By overturning Roe, the Supreme Court has essentially made it illegal in at least 22 states to obtain an abortion. Charbonneau emphasizes that speaking out in favor of vasectomies is a way to show solidarity with women in the US.

Earlier this month, Insider published several social media callouts requesting reactions, responses, and replies from members of Gen Z regarding their thoughts on hookup culture and sex in a possible post-Roe world.

Dozens of shared their insights.

The primary feeling plaguing Gen Z ahead of the Supreme Court's decision was fear, people told Insider.

Here's what's going on. 👇

businessinsider.com/network-religi…
The group organizing and fundraising for the trips includes Christian ministers and Jewish rabbis, united in the common goal of getting people the care they need.

The people on the trips qualify by being below a certain income level.

Some have never been on an airplane before. Most have jobs. Almost all have children.

Most get surgical abortions on the trip. At the end of the long day, they all fly home.
