The fight for abortion rights gets an unlikely messenger in swing state Pennsylvania: Sen. Bob Casey
Abortion rights have found an unlikely champion in swing state Pennsylvania. Sen. Bob Casey will appear on November's ballot and is attacking Republican challenger David McCormick over opposing abortion rights. That’s quite a reframing for Casey, who once called himself a “pro-life Democrat." Casey's father was a former Pennsylvania governor who opposed abortion rights and signed legislation restricting abortion, spawning a landmark 1992 abortion rights case. Abortion rights are a politically potent force following the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to leave such matters to the states. Casey says the court's decision prompted him to support access to abortion over a complete ban. McCormick says he wouldn’t vote for a federal abortion ban.

US soldier convicted of theft in Russia and sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison
A court in Russia’s far eastern city of Vladivostok has convicted a visiting American soldier of stealing and making threats of murder, and it sentenced him to three years and nine months in prison. Russian state news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti reported Wednesday that the judge also ordered Staff Sgt. Gordon Black to pay $115 in damages. U.S. and Russian officials say Black had flown to the Pacific port city earlier this year to see his girlfriend and was arrested after she accused him of stealing from her. Black’s sentencing further complicates U.S.-Russia relations, which have grown increasingly tense as the fighting in Ukraine continues.
