Things Happening Post-Roe Apple Watch The Story Appleâs latest gadgets are [raising questions]( in a post-Roe world. Explain. Yesterday, as part of its big [launch event]( for new products, the company introâd Apple Watch 8. This one can record the wearerâs body temp, improving tracking for things like fertility windows. Thatâs good news for those struggling to get pregnant. But it comes at a time when privacy experts are on high alert as states are banning abortions. Apple says this info is encrypted and that the new feature gives women âfurther insights into their health.â But the news after [Facebook]( cooperated with law enforcement earlier this year to help incriminate a 17-year-old girl in Nebraska seeking an abortion. It wasnât the only news Apple shared. Go on. There are new safety features. The new iPhone 14 allows users to contact emergency services using satellite towers when normal cell service isnât working (hi, [SOS feature](). Meanwhile, the new Apple Watch can alert family and emergency services when the user is in a [car crash](. And for those whoâve never heard silence quite this loud, thereâs the newest [AirPods](. theSkimm Apple used yesterdayâs event to show off its new toys. Some features can improve peopleâs safety and health. But they also raise privacy questions â especially in a post-Roe America. --------------------------------------------------------------- South Carolina The Story South Carolina has [opened up a debate]( on abortion and rape. What is this about? Earlier this week, a state Senate committee approved a bill that would tweak the stateâs abortion law to remove exceptions for rape or incest. Under current law, the state allows abortions up to 20 weeks and includes exceptions for those cases as well as medical emergencies. Now, the bill is still making its way through proceedings. Democrats boycotted the committee vote, opting instead for the Republicans to argue between themselves and bring forward a stricter bill they hope will fail. Meanwhile, three Republican women have spoken against the bill, saying it doesnât respect women or life. theSkimm Despite a solid GOP majority in the Senate, the billâs path still isnât clear. If it does pass, South Carolina would join [at least nine other states]( that donât have exceptions for rape or incest. And Also...This Where health experts are watching⦠[Texas](. Yesterday, a federal judge ruled itâs unconstitutional for the Affordable Care Act to require âprivate, religious corporationsâ to cover HIV-prevention drugs (PrEP) for free. Hundreds of thousands of Americans rely on PrEP â a preventative medication that is up to 99% effective at reducing the risk of contracting HIV. In 2020, a group of businesses sued, saying that providing preventative HIV services violates their religious beliefs. And makes them âcomplicitâ in promoting âhomosexual behavior.â Now, the judge is agreeing on religious freedom grounds. And could broaden the ruling nationwide within days. Meanwhile, doctors from more than [60 organizations]( worry this ruling could set a precedent that reduces access to other preventative services like cancer screenings. --------------------------------------------------------------- What got the thumbs up⦠[An experimental ALS drug](. Yesterday, an FDA advisory panel voted to recommend the drug to treat the neurodegenerative disease. Currently, ALS affects more than 16,000 people in the US with few effective treatments. Earlier this year, this same panel voted against the drug, saying the clinical trial didnât have enough data to back it up. Now, itâs changed its mind, saying 'it's worth a shot.' Next up: the FDA could make a final call by the end of the month. If approved, it could be the first treatment in five years. Meanwhile, the company behind the drug is conducting a larger trial that will wrap up in 2024. --------------------------------------------------------------- Where the, [ahem](, on-screen drama is happening⦠[Regal Cinemas](. Yesterday, the movie chainâs parent company, Cineworld, filed for bankruptcy. Cineworld is the worldâs second-largest theater chain. But that doesnât mean it was immune to pandemic issues like low ticket sales and growing competition from streaming services. It also doesnât help that the company racked up $5 billion in debt. Cineworld hopes to emerge from bankruptcy by early next year. In the meantime, it plans to cut costs by renegotiating rent prices, but it wonât be hitting pause on showtimes. [Netflix](. The streaming giant is reportedly looking to cut down on operations. Over the summer, Netflix shared it lost nearly [1 million subscribers]( â citing growing competition. Itâs been looking for ways to tighten its purse strings. That includes laying off more than 400 employees. And now, Netflix is apparently shutting down its Salt Lake City office and others across California. All of this comes as some [Gulf Arab nations]( are asking Netflix to remove what they called âoffensive contentâ like shows that feature gay and lesbian characters. --------------------------------------------------------------- Who weâre sending well swishes to⦠[Sue Bird](. --------------------------------------------------------------- Who unveiled their official portraits⦠[The Obamas](. --------------------------------------------------------------- Who arrived precisely when they meant to...
