The Week in Review: Supreme Court Strikes Down Federal Abortion Rights
The Week in Review: Supreme Court Strikes Down Federal Abortion Rights-February 2024
Feb 12, 2026 10:48 PM

The U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade and ends the federal right to abortion after nearly 50 years. But just under a month since the massacre of 19 children and two teachers at a Texas elementary school, the court expands the right to conceal and carry a gun.

The Jan. 6 hearings into the attack on the U.S. Capitol presents evidence of then-President Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure state officials and the leadership of the Department of Justice to aid his plan to overturn the election results in key states.

Meanwhile, the former president is in Illinois to stump for Republican congressional candidate Mary Miller.

And the state’s richest man, hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin, says he’s quitting the state and moving to Miami and he’s taking his companies with him.
