Ohio ‘heartbeat’ abortion ban passes Senate as governor vows to sign it

The Republican-led Ohio Senate passed the so-called ‘heartbeat’ bill Wednesday that would ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy.

It would be among the most restrictive abortion measures in the country. Critics of the bill claim many women do not know they are pregnant at the six-week mark.

The 19-13 vote sends Senate Bill 23 to the Republican-controlled House. GOP Gov. Mike DeWine has indicated he’d sign the ban into law.

The bill's sponsor, State Sen. Kristina Roegner, said using the existence of a fetal heartbeat as the defining line is clearer than determining the fate of a fetus based on its growth outside the womb, a marker established in court precedent. Roegner said viability can vary depending on the technology available and the medical care.

"[Viability] is a moving target, and we need a new standard," she said. "The heartbeat bill provides a sensible solution."

'HEARTBEAT' BILLS GAINING MOMENTUM IN SEVERAL STATES, INCLUDING KENTUCKY AND MISSISSIPPI 

Similar measures approved by lawmakers were vetoed twice before by DeWine's predecessor, Republican John Kasich. He said such a law would create a costly court battle and likely be found unconstitutional.

OHIO'S NEW GOVERNOR SAYS HE'LL SIGN 'HEARTBEAT' ABORTION BILL THAT KASICH VETOED

In its current form, the bill includes an exemption if a mother’s life is at risk. Critics say it provides no exemptions for victims of rape or incest.

The legislation's passage in the Senate continued a celebratory week for abortion opponents in Ohio, where a divided federal appeals court upheld a state law Tuesday that blocked public money for Planned Parenthood

More Babies Are Being Born with Syphilis — Blame Meth and Opioids

Some of the communities hit hardest by the opioid epidemic and a related methamphetamine spike also are facing another health crisis: a steep rise in syphilis.

It isn’t a coincidence.

Many opioid users have started to use meth, either in combination with opioids or as a cheaper, more accessible alternative. Stimulants such as meth are even more likely than opioids to promote risky sexual behavior that increases the likelihood of contracting syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Women are increasingly susceptible as their drug use continues to rise, and more of them are passing on the disease to their infants — with deadly results.

Many addicted pregnant women forgo prenatal visits for fear of being drug tested and losing custody of their babies, doctors say. And mothers with untreated syphilis have an 80 percent chance of infecting their unborn babies, contributing to a growing crisis that many states have tried to combat in recent years.

In adults, syphilis can be cured with a course of antibiotics. But syphilis among newborns, called congenital syphilis, can cause deformities, severe anemia, an enlarged liver and spleen, jaundice or brain and nerve problems such as blindness or deafness.

Up to 40 percent of babies born to women with untreated syphilis may be stillborn or die as a newborn, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The number of congenital syphilis cases climbed by 154 percent between 2013 and 2017. More than 900 cases were reported in 37 states in 2017 — the highest number of cases in the past two decades.

Sixty-four infants were stillborn in 2017; another 13 died sometime after birth. (The CDC does not have data on how long after birth the newborns died.)

Most upsetting of all, say health professionals, is that all congenital syphilis cases — and all the deaths from the disease — are preventable.

“Every case of congenital syphilis is considered a failure of the health care system,” said Taryn Couture, senior manager of policy and government relations at the National Coalition of STD Directors, “because it should be caught in the first prenatal visit that every woman has.”

The use of meth, heroin and other injection drugs among women with syphilis more than doubled between 2013 and 2017, according to a CDC report released this month. The report doesn’t include data on opioids other than heroin, but CDC spokesman Brian Katzowitz said the agency plans to add that information to future reports.

Despite the missing data, Couture said, “There’s a clear connection, as we’re seeing, between drug use, the opioid crisis and the rise of syphilis and congenital syphilis.”

Syphilis transmission is most common among men who have sex with men, and those cases accounted for most of the 30,000 syphilis infections reported in 2017.

But cases among heterosexual men more than doubled between 2013 and 2017 — a spike that signifies “heterosexual syphilis and drug use, particularly methamphetamine use, are connected and interrelated epidemics in the United States,” according to the new CDC report.

Meanwhile, more women are becoming infected: from 1,500 in 2013 to 3,722 in 2017. In many states, public health officials are witnessing the interconnected epidemics firsthand.

In Kentucky, the “main reason” for an outbreak of congenital syphilis in late 2017 was “the prevalence of opioids,” said Chang Lee, program director for the STD Prevention and Control Program at the Kentucky Department for Public Health.

Angel Stachnik, senior epidemiologist at the Southern Nevada Health District, estimated that nearly half of the congenital syphilis cases among infants in her region “involve some type of substance abuse,” meth tending to be “high-prevalence.”

Pinpointing the Problem

Women who have received late or no prenatal care make up about a third of those who give birth to babies with congenital syphilis, according to Virginia Bowen, an epidemic intelligence service officer at the CDC.

Even women who do receive early prenatal care aren’t entirely in the clear, health professionals say, because they might miss opportunities to get treated, or to be re-screened in late pregnancy.

The CDC recommends syphilis screening at the first prenatal visit for all women, as well as early in the third trimester and at delivery for women at high risk of infection.

All but six states — Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Dakota and Wisconsin — require prenatal syphilis screenings.

Most require women be tested at the first prenatal visit, though 17 states have screening requirements in a woman’s third trimester as well, either for all pregnancies or for those considered at high risk of infection.

Still, many pregnant women — particularly women of color — are slipping through the cracks. In 2017, nearly 39 percent of congenital syphilis cases, in which the race of the mother was known, were newborns with black mothers. Black mothers were more than six times more likely than white mothers to give birth to a baby with syphilis.

“A lot of the problem is non-awareness among physicians of the burden that’s in their community,” said Sandi Larson, Nevada’s state epidemiologist. “Specifically, in some of our rural communities, physicians don’t see syphilis; they don’t test for it — it’s just not on their radar.”

Women, too, don’t always know how best to protect themselves against STDs. One in three women who gave birth to a baby with syphilis in 2016 did get screened during pregnancy, but either acquired the disease after being tested or were not treated in time to prevent the infection of their newborns, according to the CDC.

Tackling Troubling Trends

Experts say states need money to raise awareness and provide treatment. Federal opioid funding, largely reserved for fighting HIV and hepatitis C, has left the fight against syphilis behind, Couture said.

Still, officials at the CDC say they’re trying to focus on low-cost efforts. In 2015, the agency’s Division of STD Prevention “started to look really closely at what causes and factors were at hand,” Bowen said, “and try to unpack what the missed opportunities are in a woman’s life that ultimately lead her to deliver a baby with congenital syphilis.”

Based on their findings, CDC researchers offered guidelines for clinicians to intervene and prevent congenital syphilis.

“But we do understand that there’s a second layer involved here, and it’s not all clinical interventions,” Bowen said. “The layers reflect how complicated these women’s lives are — it’s not just as easy as saying, ‘You just need to get to the doctor for prenatal care.’”

Between 2016 and 2017, congenital syphilis rates rose 60 percent in the South and 41 percent in the West, compared with 6 percent climbs in both the Midwest and Northeast.

States reporting the highest rates of congenital syphilis in 2017 were Louisiana, Nevada, California, Texas and Florida. Across the country, cases ranged from zero in states such as Wyoming and Maine up to 281 in California.

The CDC distributed its plans, along with $4 million for prevention efforts, to seven states — California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Ohio and Texas — as well as two cities: Chicago and Los Angeles.

Four of the seven states have the highest rates of congenital syphilis, and Los Angeles and Chicago have the highest rates of syphilis among cities.

“By working really closely with these nine,” Bowen said, “we think we can have a national impact.”

The states and cities receiving the money will review each 2017 congenital syphilis case to identify mistakes, such as a lack of prenatal care or a failure to screen for the disease in the third trimester.

“We want jurisdictions to get into the habit, any time they have a case of congenital syphilis, to convene their partners and to talk as a group about what the missed opportunities were, and how a case like that could be prevented in the future,” Bowen said.

In Texas, two case review boards in Houston and San Antonio have helped shed light on lesser-known issues.

For example, case reviews in the state revealed that many pregnant women with syphilis are Medicaid recipients who don’t have access to transportation. Although Medicaid transportation is available to the women, many face child care issues with other young children and Texas state law prohibits those children from using the free transportation.

As a result of those findings, two Texas state representatives, Democrat Mary González and Republican Dade Phelan, have sponsored bills that would allow women to bring their young children with them on Medicaid transportation.

“As we’ve been working on this legislation, we’ve realized just how significant the access gap to prenatal care is,” González said.

“That’s an example of how these case review boards allow us to go from the micro — of the women and the child — to the macro: finding the system-based issues that can be reformed,” said Judy Levison, an obstetrician-gynecologist and a professor at Baylor College of Medicine.

California, Florida, Texas and Nevada (which didn’t receive the CDC money) also have created social media and advertising campaigns targeted at women. And they are sending public health officials to doctors’ offices to discuss prevention and treatment.

“Physicians are usually really busy and can’t be up to par on every single recommendation that comes out of the CDC or other types of health agencies,” said Nevada’s Stachnik. “So we, as a public health department, are playing a bigger role in trying to educate our public health providers.”

Nevada public health officials also are urging agencies that provide food stamps and other public assistance to talk to young women about prenatal care and syphilis testing. The state saw 21 cases of congenital syphilis in 2017 and had the second-highest rate in the country.

Some states are turning to legislation. Connecticut passed a law in 2017 requiring syphilis testing during the third trimester. Similar bills were introduced last year in Michigan and Ohio.

State Rep. Thomas West of Ohio, a Democrat who sponsored the bill in his state, said he plans on “moving the bill pretty aggressively.”

“I didn’t sense any opposition to the bill,” West said, “and I don’t see why anyone would actively vote against it, especially when the rates of infant mortality are this high.”

Matt Gaetz: President 'frustrated' over criticism from Kellyanne Conway's husband, George

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., told Fox News on Wednesday that while he would prefer President Trump not focus on White House counselor Kellyanne Conway's husband -- and frequent critic -- George Conway, he believes the president simply has been frustrated.

“I think it’s very frustrating for the president to see the difficult circumstances that Kellyanne is put in. She obviously is one of the most trusted advisers in the White House and not just within the White House but beyond,” Gaetz said on “The Story.” “I think it’s frustrating for him to see George Conway be so critical when Kellyanne has been such a part of the great success that’s driving country.”

George Conway repeatedly has questioned the president’s mental health on social media, all while his wife continues to work at the White House.

GEORGE CONWAY RAMPS UP TRUMP ATTACKS AS KELLYANNE DEFENDS BOSS

“George Conway, often referred to as Mr. Kellyanne Conway by those who know him, is VERY jealous of his wife’s success & angry that I, with her help, didn’t give him the job he so desperately wanted. I barely know him but just take a look, a stone cold LOSER & husband from hell!” Trump tweeted Wednesday.

Conway reacted by tweeting, “You seem determined to prove my point. Good for you! #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder.”

Gaetz defended Trump against the accusation he has “narcissistic personality disorder.”

“Obviously that’s a view held by someone who doesn’t get to see how he, I think, feels for the country and does a lot to see that people live better lives,” Gaetz said.

“I don’t think it elevates the presidency or the country to be talking about somebody’s marriage. I think the president should focus on the amazing economic success he’s having. The renegotiating of trade deals and really the fact that we roll into a 2020 election cycle where Republicans are more enthusiastic than Democrats and with a lot of good reason.”

KELLYANNE CONWAY'S HUSBAND RIPS TRUMP AGAIN, SAYS CONDITION GETTING WORSE

Gaetz also defended the president’s recent attacks on the late Arizona senator John McCain, blaming deep-seated resentment over McCain's role in the failure to repeal ObamaCare.

“It was John McCain, I think, more wanting to stick it to the president than reflect even his own beliefs,” Gaetz told Fox News’ Ed Henry. “I think it’s reasonable for the president to be very frustrated and let down by that.”

McCain died last August after a battle with cancer.

Police: Shooter targeted 3 victims in gated LA community

One of three men who were shot to death at a home in a gated Los Angeles community likely allowed the shooter inside, authorities said Tuesday.

The victims were targeted in the shooting Monday, Capt. Billy Hayes said at a press conference. He did not release suspect descriptions. Nobody had been arrested in connection with the killings, officials said.

Hayes said detectives believe they know what motivated the crime but withheld the information because the investigation is at "a critical juncture."

A woman in an upstairs bedroom of the large, two-story home in the affluent Porter Ranch neighborhood heard a gunshot and called 911.

The woman is described only as a resident of the home with some type of relationship with the man who rented it, Gary Davidson, 39, who was killed. The other victims are Benny Lopez, 46, of Anaheim, and Jesus Perez, 34, of Perris.

Firefighters responding to a 911 call found the victims and called police to the residence in a housing development in the northwestern San Fernando Valley.

Guests and residents must drive past a guarded gate to enter the development, where homes list for more than $1 million. Detectives gathered surveillance video from the gate, and "we do have an idea of who's been in and out" of the community, Hayes said.

U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, who lives in Porter Ranch, told Los Angeles news station KTTV that the killings in a small community "shakes you up a bit." He said he still feels safe.

Russia’s Rusal in talks to resume reinsurance with Western companies

By Tatiana Voronova

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s Rusal, the world’s second-largest aluminum producer, is in talks to resume reinsuring its risks with Western companies after the United States lifted sanctions on the group, officials with Russian National Reinsurance Co (RNRC) said.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration on Jan. 28 lifted sanctions on Rusal and other core assets of tycoon Oleg Deripaska and the reinsurance talks could show the company is returning to normal operations since then.

Natalia Karpova, deputy chief executive of RNRC, told reporters on Monday that Rusal is in talks with western reinsurers to get them back on board to share the aluminum company’s risks after sanctions were lifted, but did not name any of the companies involved.

Rusal’s primary insurer is Ingosstrakh, one of Russia’s largest insurance companies, according to two sources familiar with the process. Ingosstrakh had been reinsuring those risks with Western reinsurance firms prior to the imposition of sanctions by the U.S. Treasury on April 6 last year in response to what it called Russia’s “malign activities”.

RNRC Chief Executive Nikolay Galushin told Reuters last year that after April 6 his firm was forced to take on almost all the risks of a number of Russian industrial plants previously shared among Western reinsurers.

If Rusal persuades Western reinsurers to once again share Ingosstrakh’s risks, RNRC is ready to share 20 percent of that reinsurance with Western firms, Galushin said on Monday.

RNRC was set up by the Russian central bank chiefly to offer reinsurance to firms barred from using Western providers after sanctions were first imposed on Moscow in 2014.

The lifting of sanctions on Deripaska’s interests remains contentious and U.S. congressional Democrats said on Jan. 29 they were not satisfied with the decision.

Ingosstrakh did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Multiple people died Thursday when a semitrailer plowed into stationary traffic that resulted in explosions and flames on a Colorado freeway, authorities said.

The incident occurred just before 5 p.m. in the Denver suburb of Lakewood when a truck driver lost control while traveling east on Interstate 70, according to a preliminary investigation. The collision started a chain reaction and a diesel fuel spill, Lakewood police spokesman Ty Countryman told the Denver Post.

“This is looking to be one of the worst accidents we’ve had here in Lakewood,” he said.

The driver of the runaway truck survived. At least one truck was carrying lumber, another was hauling gravel and the third may have been carrying mattresses, KDVR-TV reported.

President Trump will address members and leaders of the National Rifle Association on Friday at the group’s annual convention in Indiana.

Around 80,000 gun enthusiasts and more than 800 exhibitors are expected to pack the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis for the three-day event, the Indianapolis Star reported. It will mark the third straight year that Trump will deliver the keynote address, where he is expected to champion the rights of gun owners.

“Donald Trump is the most enthusiastic supporter of the Second Amendment to occupy the Oval Office in our lifetimes,” Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (ILA), said in a statement. “President Trump’s Supreme Court appointments ensure that the Second Amendment will be respected for generations to come. Our members are excited to hear him speak and thank him for his support for our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.”

“Donald Trump is the most enthusiastic supporter of the Second Amendment to occupy the Oval Office in our lifetimes.”

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence spoke at last year’s convention in Dallas. During his speech, Trump assured gun owners that he would protect their Second Amendment rights, according to the paper.

“Your Second Amendment rights are under siege,” Trump told the cheering audience in Dallas. “But they will never, ever be under siege as long as I am your president.”

Trump has supported some gun control measures in the past. Last year, his administration imposed a ban on bump stocks, attachments that enable semiautomatic rifles to fire in rapid bursts. Although, he most recently threatened to veto two Democratic gun control bills.

This year’s convention comes as the NRA faces outside pressure and internal problems. The group has seen its legislative agenda stall amid a series of mass shootings — including a massacre at a Parkland, Fla., high school in February 2018 that left 17 dead and launched a youth movement against gun violence.

It’s also grappling with infighting in its ranks, money problems and investigations into whether Russian agents courted officials and funneled money through the group.

“I’ve never seen the NRA this vulnerable,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit that advocates for gun control measure.

The convention will run through the weekend and conclude Sunday.

(Reuters) – Ailing British retailer Debenhams said two proposed company voluntary arrangements (CVA) could see all its stores remaining open during 2019, with 22 closures planned for next year, putting about 1,200 jobs at risk.

Debenhams’ lenders took control of the retailer earlier this month in a process designed to keep its shops open at the expense of shareholders.

BENGALURU (Reuters) – Chinese brands controlled a record 66 percent of Indian smartphone market in the first quarter, led by Xiaomi Corp, a report showed, with volumes rising 20 percent on the back of popularity for brands like Vivo, RealMe and Oppo.

Xiaomi’s India shipments fell by 2 percent over last year, but the Beijing-based company was still the biggest smartphone brand in the country, followed by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, according to Hong-Kong based Counterpoint Research.

Shipment volumes for Vivo jumped 119 percent, while those of Oppo rose 28 percent.

“Vivo’s expanding portfolio in the mid-tier range ($100 to $180) drove its growth along with aggressive Indian Premier League cricket campaign,” Counterpoint analysts said.

India is the world’s fastest growing market for smartphones, where affordable pricing coupled with features like “selfie” cameras and big screens have popularized Chinese brands.

Video streaming services like Netflix Inc and Hotstar, as well as heavy usage of messaging apps like Facebook Inc’s WhatsApp have further spurred demand.

“Data consumption is on the rise and users are upgrading their phones faster as compared to other regions,” Counterpoint’s Tarun Pathak said.

“As a result of this, the premium specs are now diffusing faster into the mid-tier price brands. We estimate this trend to continue leading to a competitive mid-tier segment in coming quarters.”

The Dalai Lama has returned to his headquarters in the north Indian hill town of Dharmsala after a brief stay in a hospital in the capital for treatment of a chest infection.

Hundreds of exiled Tibetans lined the streets of Dharmsala carrying ceremonial scarves and incense sticks to welcome the Dalai Lama on Friday.

The 83-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader told reporters that he had fully recovered, but that the illness had been “a little bit serious.” He did not give any details.

The Dalai Lama usually spends several months a year traveling the world to teach Buddhism and highlight Tibetans’ struggle for greater freedom in China. But he has cut down on his travels in the past year to take care of his health.
