Speaking to reporters, Rapinoe encouraged people to "understand the intersectionality of" the Court's decision, linking it to a broader assault on the rights of women, as well as LGBTQ communities.

Athletes react to Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade
U.S. national soccer team star Megan Rapinoe expressed her anger Friday over the Supreme Court’s decision to strip the nation’s constitutional protections for abortion, decrying an erosion of rights that women have had for a generation. “I think the cruelty is the point because this is not pro-life by any means,” said Rapinoe, who was close to tears at times as she expressed her outrage.

An ER Doctor’s ‘Third Way’ Approach to the Gun Crisis
Nearly 15 years ago, a young man who had shot himself in the head with his father’s gun was wheeled into the emergency room where Megan Ranney worked. Despite her team’s best efforts, the patient died. “It was the first firearm suicide I’d ever taken care of,” Ranney, an emergency physician and public-health expert in Rhode Island, told me. In the days after, Ranney found herself wondering about the circumstances that had landed that boy in her hospital. What had made that gun so easily accessible? Why had he reached for it? What had failed to stay his hand? In the decade-plus since, many, many more firearm injuries have crossed her path—“truly, I can’t even count the number of folks I’ve taken care of who have been shot,” she said. Each year, guns kill tens of thousands of people in the United States; on Tuesday, an 18-year-old gunman added at least 21 more to 2022’s horrific tally, when he entered an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and opened fire in a fourth-grade … [Read more...] about An ER Doctor’s ‘Third Way’ Approach to the Gun Crisis
