US judge invalidates Biden rule protecting privacy for abortions
The rule prohibits healthcare providers and insurers from giving information about a legal abortion. PHOTO: AFP TEXAS - A federal judge on June 18 struck down a rule adopted by the administration of former President Joe Biden that strengthened privacy protections for women seeking abortions and patients who receive gender transition treatments. US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo, Texas, said the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) exceeded its powers and unlawfully limited states' ability to enforce their public health laws when it adopted the rule in 2024. The rule prohibits healthcare providers and insurers from giving information about a legal abortion to state law enforcement authorities who are seeking to punish someone in connection with that abortion. 'HHS lacked clear delegated authority to fashion special protections for medical information produced by politically favored medical procedures,' wrote Mr Kacsmaryk, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, a Republican, during his first term. Mr Kacsmaryk in December 2024 had blocked HHS from enforcing the rule against a Texas doctor who had brought the lawsuit, Ms Carmen Purl, pending the outcome of the case. June 18's decision blocks the rule nationwide. HHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Ms Purl is represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal group. Mr Matt Bowman, senior counsel with the group, praised the decision in a statement, saying the 2024 rule 'would have weaponised laws about privacy that have nothing to do with abortion or gender identity'. The Biden administration issued the rule as part of its pledge to support access to reproductive healthcare after the conservative-majority US Supreme Court in 2022 overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that made access to abortion a constitutional right nationwide. It came in response to efforts by authorities in some Republican-led states that ban abortion, including Texas, to restrict out-of-state travel for abortion. Texas has filed a separate lawsuit challenging the rule, which is pending in federal court in Lubbock, Texas. HHS in a court filing last month said agency leadership appointed by Mr Trump is evaluating its position in this case. Mr Biden, a Democrat, said in announcing the rule that no one should have their medical records 'used against them, their doctor, or their loved one just because they sought or received lawful reproductive health care'.

Brazil declares itself bird flu ‘free', aims to resume exports
The declaration came after Brazil observed a 28-day period without any new commercial farm outbreaks. PHOTO: REUTERS SAO PAULO - The world's largest poultry exporter has declared itself free of the bird flu virus on commercial flocks after observing a 28-day period without any new commercial farm outbreaks, the Brazilian ministry of agriculture said on June 18. The countdown for reclaiming the country's disease-free status began on May 22 following the complete disinfection of the farm where Brazil's only commercial outbreak was detected last month, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Under existing trade protocols, China and other importers banned chicken imports from Brazil, which accounts for 39 per cent of global chicken trade, pending measures to control the disease and prevent entrance on other commercial chicken facilities. Now, Brazil aims at resuming chicken exports with its trade partners, but that will require talks with each one of them, Agriculture Minister Carlos Favaro said in a statement. Earlier, a Rio Grande do Sul state official had said Brazil had taken all the steps under health protocols to once again declare itself a free of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus. Reclaiming Brazil's status as free HPAI is not automatic and must be confirmed by the World Organisation for Animal Health, according to guidelines from the body. Brazil's first outbreak hit a chicken breeder farm in the town of Montenegro, where 17,000 birds were culled. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
