CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A presidential primary filing period marked by lights, cameras and (in)action has come to a close at the New Hampshire secretary of state’s office.Two weeks before he dropped out, former Vice President Mike Pence was the only candidate to have his own studio lights shining on him as he signed up for the yet-to-be-scheduled Republican contest next year.Former President Donald Trump’s staff ripped up tape from the carpet that reserved spots for local journalists and put his campaign photographer up front instead.President Joe Biden skipped signing up altogether, in deference to changes that the Democratic National Committee is making to the nominating calendar.While Biden will rely on a write-in campaign, the Democratic ballot hardly will be blank.

Macron vows to enshrine women’s rights to abortion in French Constitution in 2024

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:13:58 GMT

PARIS (AP) — President Emmanuel Macron promised on Sunday to enshrine a woman’s right to an abortion in the French Constitution by next year.The president said on X, formerly Twitter, that a bill making this possible would be presented to his Cabinet by the end of this year so that “in 2024, the freedom of women to have an abortion will be irreversible.” Abortion in France was decriminalized under a 1975 law, but there is nothing in the constitution that would guarantee abortion rights. It was the rollback of abortion rights in the United States after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a 50-year-old ruling last year and stripped women’s constitutional protections for abortion that propelled France on a path toward unconditionally guaranteeing such rights.Macron, honoring feminist Gisele Halimi in March, said he wanted to change the constitution in order “to enshrine the freedom of women to have an abortion, to solemnly ensure that nothing can stop or undo what will be irreversi...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:13:58 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — With health experts recommending Americans get two (or even three) different vaccines this cold and flu season, you may find yourself rolling up your sleeve a couple of times soon. You may also notice your arm hurts for a day or two after getting your shots. Why is that? Fortunately, you aren’t alone. For all three of the vaccine health experts are recommending this season — the flu shot, the newest COVID booster, and the RSV vaccine for older Americans — the CDC notes pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site are among the most common side effects. Why do I feel sick after getting the flu shot, COVID booster? It’s how the vaccine enters your body that causes the pain. When the vaccine enters your arm, it stretches the muscle fibers and triggers an immune response, Harvard Health explains. That response prompts temporary inflammation, the pain you may feel, and even some bruising. So can you do anything to ease the pain? You may re...
