Mexico decriminalizes abortion, a dramatic step in the world’s second-biggest Catholic country washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/…
While abortion remains illegal in most of Latin America, there has been a surge in demonstrations demanding more rights for women, particularly focused on rising violence. washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/…
“This will not only have an impact in Mexico; it will set the agenda for the entire Latin American region,” said Melissa Ayala, coordinator of litigation for the Mexican feminist organization GIRE. washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/…

Emily Franciose’s love of the backcountry drew her to boarding school in the Swiss Alps.

Then a mountain fell apart beneath her skis — and left her parents seeking answers. wapo.st/3UqR3SH
Emily had been on skis since she was 2, had attended avalanche safety courses and traveled with a first-aid kit.

She arrived at Ecole d’Humanité — which had a backcountry program with ski tours at least once a week in the Swiss Alps — in August 2022, one day after turning 18. wapo.st/3UqR3SHA quote from Lydia Breuning, manager of the school chalet where Emily lived, reading, "I say she arrived, but it was more like she burst. She burst into our lives and into our community with so much enthusiasm."
The school’s last backcountry outing of the season took place on March 21, 2023.

Spring break was a few days away. Emily and her roommate had tickets to Paris.

But first, a trek to the top of the Wellhorn: wapo.st/3UqR3SH

As Donald Trump faces dwindling options to pay off a massive fine imposed as a result of losing a fraud case in New York, financial experts say filing for bankruptcy would provide one clear way out of his financial jam.

But Trump is not considering that approach, partially out of concern that it could damage his campaign to recapture the White House, according to four people close to the former president. wapo.st/3TLvfAXHeadline reads: Bankruptcy is one way out of Trump’s financial jam. He doesn’t want to take it. Photo shows former president Donald Trump, in a suit with a blue tie, departing the courtroom after testifying in his civil fraud case in New York on Nov. 6, 2023.

Even though bankruptcy could alleviate Trump’s immediate cash crunch, it also carries risks for a candidate who has marketed himself as a winning businessman — and whose greatest appeal to voters, some advisers say, is his financial success. wapo.st/3TLvfAX
A bankruptcy filing by Trump personally or by one of his companies could delay for months or years the requirement that he pay the judgment of nearly half a billion dollars, which with interest is growing by more than $100,000 a day. wapo.st/3TLvfAX

Four major nonprofits that rose to prominence during the coronavirus pandemic by capitalizing on the spread of medical misinformation collectively gained more than $118 million between 2020 and 2022, a Post analysis shows. wapo.st/49CX18x
The money enabled the organizations to deepen their influence in statehouses, courtrooms and communities across the country.

Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., received $23.5 million in contributions, grants and other revenue in 2022 alone, allowing it to expand its state-based lobbying operations to cover half the country. wapo.st/49CX18xPhoto of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaking on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Photo taken by Matt McClain/The Washington Post.
Another influential anti-vaccine group, Informed Consent Action Network, nearly quadrupled its revenue during that time to about $13.4 million in 2022, giving it the resources to finance lawsuits seeking to roll back vaccine requirements. wapo.st/49CX18x

Frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) are people, Alabama’s Supreme Court ruled last week, opening up a new front in the national debate over reproductive rights.

Here's what you need to know: wapo.st/3uQrJLX
IVF, a treatment for many types of infertility, is an assisted reproductive technology that involves multiple steps. Patients self-administer hormone injections to stimulate egg production, and medical staff retrieve mature eggs from ovaries, place them in petri dishes and fertilize them with sperm.

The multiple fertilized eggs, or embryos, can be transferred to the uterus for an immediate attempt at pregnancy, or frozen for the future. wapo.st/3uQrJLXWhat is in vitro fertilization?
The state’s top court ruled that someone can be held liable in a wrongful-death lawsuit over the destruction of a frozen embryo, affording the fertilized egg the same rights as a person.

The justices said that the state had long recognized that “unborn children are ‘children.’” On Friday, they said that framing extended to frozen embryos. wapo.st/3uQrJLXImage

Exclusive: Over the last five years, more than 2,000 people have wandered away from assisted-living and dementia-care units or been left unattended outside, according to an exhaustive search by The Washington Post.

Nearly 100 people died — though the exact number is unknowable because no one is counting. wapo.st/47iqF0RHeadline reads: Dozens of assisted-living residents died after wandering away unnoticed
Patients with memory problems walk away from assisted-living facilities just about every day in America, a pattern of neglect by an industry that charges families an average of $6,000 a month for the explicit promise of safeguarding their loved ones. wapo.st/47iqF0R
The federal government does not regulate the nation’s roughly 30,000 assisted-care facilities, as it does nursing homes.

Instead, regulation falls to individual states, few of which have adopted strong staffing and training requirements. wapo.st/47iqF0R

On the stage of the Theatre Lab in downtown D.C., five women shared their stories of motherhood. But the monologues would go beyond labor pains, late-night feedings and raising boys.

Just as the mothers remembered how they brought each of their children into the world, they would tell an audience how their sons left.
Each mother performing in the play “Turning Pain Into Purpose: Say My Son’s Name” holds a picture of their son's face and a candle. Text on photo reads, “Deep Reads: Their sons’ lives ended in gunfire. In grief, they found a second act.”
One was 13, shot by a 12-year-old after a night of playing games at a Dave & Busters. The oldest was 29, shot 22 times. The youngest was 8, killed by a stray bullet while eating dinner and playing video games on one of his favorite nights, Taco Tuesday. wapo.st/3Gi4nRE
The women connected with each other through the pain of having a child killed by gunfire. The group became the “Strong Azz Mothers.” wapo.st/3Gi4nRE
