At least 14 of democratic voters however declared themselves to be uncommitted, not favouring any candidate. This is seen as strong pushback to biden from key demographics that he might need to win the state again progressives, voters of color, and arab and muslim voters concerned by his stance on the the israel gaza war. Activists in the state had been organising to send President Biden a message no ceasefire, no vote, and encouraged voters to select the uncommitted option instead of the president s name. The Biden Campaign released a statement, but didnt mention theissue statement, but didnt mention the issue of a ceasefire. The group which urged democrats to vote uncommitted, released a statement, listen to michigan saying see you there, it says. The movement has wide ranging endorsements including congresswoman rashida tlaib, who posted this earlier. I was proud today to walk in and pull a democratic ballot and vote uncommitted. We must protect our democracy. We must make sure that
Let me hear you say im voting uncommitted. All im voting uncommitted. Voting uncommitted is a protest against the president. You wouldnt know it from these signs, but these are normally joe biden supporters. Furious, though, about his support for israels war on gaza. They want him to call for a permanent ceasefire before hell win their votes again. No matter how many people refuse to support him today, Joe Biden Cannot lose this democratic primary contest. But if the same people dont vote for him in the president ial election, that could be decisive. Michigan is a key state that he only won very narrowly last time, and he really needs to win again this year. Many students and young voters are also distressed by what they see happening in gaza, notjust here at Michigans Wayne state university, but on campuses right across the United States. America sees whats happening. Its heartbreaking. And to not see, at the very least, a ceasefire being advocated for by our president , its maddening
So ive had a bit of a rubbish day today with feeling quite anxious. I had quite a bad nights sleep last night. Hey, so im just between cases today at work. Ijust had a quite embarrassing hot flush. Im struggling with the light. Im struggling to see. So, its 6am on Sunday Morning and im wide awake. Ive been perimenopausal for the last. Seven or so years. Definitely one of the most challenging symptoms ive found over the last few years has been the brain fog. Im trying not to be too, erm, too upset about it. Maybe, though, the way that womens Reproductive Health plays out doesnt need to be inevitable. Ive been to meet some scientists who are working on the idea of Delaying Menopause. At the Buck Institute for aging in california, neuroscientist Jennifer Garrison studies the connection between the brain and the ovaries. Menopause is basically what happens when a womans ovaries stop working. Essentially, it leads to a whole host of really Dramatic Health consequences. So ovaries are produc

But polling shows why this is proving a difficult political issue for republican president ial candidates. Among all americans, some 73 support allowing abortions in the first six week of pregnancy. Including 56 of those in states with the most restrictive Abortion Bans. As of last month, 21 out of 50 states have either total or partial Abortion Bans on the books. And so, unsurprisingly, its an issue that is playing out on the campaign trail. Republican frontrunner donald trump has been reminding his supporters that he appointed three conservative judges to the Supreme Court when he was president. The same judges that played a decisive role in overturning roe v wade. But so far he has been less clear on restrictions he would like to see. The New York Times reported last month that trump privately supports a 16 week ban. Something his Campaign Slammed as fake news. But we do know that the former president has previously called for exceptions for cases of rape, incest and medical emergen
