Many Americans divide it by the idea of ​​accusing women of murder. But since Roe v Wade Overthrown, some Republican lawmakers are becoming more and more open. Jason Storms, the national director of the anti-abortion rights group, known as Save America, is working to convince more lawmakers about its policies. Storm and consistent activists call themselves “abortionists” and state house lawmakers support tough anti-abortion bills. At least 14 states have introduced bills during the current or recent legislative sessions that would establish fertilized eggs as legal persons and classify abortion as a homicide. Even in some of the strictest bills, some states still lack it, the Storm said.

Life advice

Scientists are increasingly worried that microplastics entering our bodies through food and kitchen tools may harm our health. Possible routes to exposure come from chopping on plastic cutting boards, heating plastic containers and dishwasher. Here are the things you should know about microplastics, and some ways you can reduce your dependence on plastic in your kitchen:

• 🔪In many parts of the human body, including the heart, lungs and placenta. There is no understanding of how it affects humans, but some studies have shown that animals have poor health effects due to the presence of microplastics.
• 🔪Don't try changing all plastic in the kitchen at once. Instead, try to replace them one by one, as they need to be replaced.
• 🔪 Instead of using plastic cutting boards, you use wooden cutting boards. A recent study notes that plastic selection is a "potentially important source of microplastics in human food."
• 🔪 Consider using reusable cloth to make bags instead of plastic bags in farmers’ markets or grocery stores.
