Missouri judge vacates abortion rulings after state Supreme Court order
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Just one day after the Missouri Supreme Court ordered a Jackson County judge to vacate injunctions that , the judge has complied — officially pulling back those protections. But what happens next is anyone's guess. As FOX4 reported Tuesday night, this case is complex — and now we're beginning to understand why. Veteran trial and appellate court Attorney David Larson says the judge's original injunctions were tossed because the state's highest court determined she used the wrong legal standard. Federal trade court blocks Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs under emergency powers law 'The procedural vehicle in which the Supreme Court acted was through what's called an extraordinary writ process,' Larson explained. That extraordinary step has transformed what was already a politically charged issue into a full-blown legal showdown. The roots of the fight go back to November, when Missouri voters passed Amendment 3, enshrining abortion rights into the state constitution. The state quickly filed suit to challenge the amendment, and a Jackson County judge issued two injunctions aimed at preserving those rights while the case played out in court. But the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the judge applied outdated legal criteria when issuing those temporary protections. See the latest headlines in Kansas City and across Kansas, Missouri 'Her responsibility will be then to — to do what she needs to do or what she believes is necessary and appropriate to apply the standards that the Supreme Court has instructed her to follow,' Larson said. Under the new standard, any future rulings must pass a strict four-part test, including showing that abortion rights advocates would suffer irreparable harm and have a strong chance of winning the case. That legal shift stems from recent changes in how the 8th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals — which includes Missouri — handles injunctions involving challenges to state laws. 'The 8th Circuit had a prior set of standards to apply. They then subsequently changed that and updated that, and the Supreme Court in its ruling Tuesday elected to be governed by the more recent case,' Larson said. What comes next isn't clear. The judge could bring both sides back into court for arguments, or she might simply apply the new legal standard and issue a fresh ruling without another cautions that even if the standard is applied correctly, there's no guarantee the judge will reissue the injunctions.

ACLU sues over Kansas law banning gender-affirming care for minors
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the ACLU of Kansas on Wednesday that was passed – blocking gender-affirming care for minors. The lawsuit was filed in Douglas County on behalf of two transgender adolescents and their parents, who say the new law violates the Kansas Constitution's guarantees of equal protection and fundamental rights. Missouri Supreme Court temporarily reinstates abortion ban In February, Kansas became the 27th state to ban or restrict such care when GOP lawmakers reversed Gov. Laura Kelly's veto after President Donald Trump issued an order barring federal support for gender-affirming care for youth under 19. Gov. Kelly vetoed the bill on Feb. 11, saying it's inappropriate for politicians to infringe on parental rights. One week later, on Feb. 18, the veto was reversed. The ACLU lawsuit was filed on behalf of a 16-year-old and his mother, as well as a 13-year-old and her mother. 'Our clients and every Kansan should have the freedom to make their own private medical decisions and consult with their doctors without the intrusion of Kansas politicians,' said D.C. Hiegert, Civil Liberties Legal Fellow for the ACLU of Kansas. Supporters of such bans argue that they protect vulnerable children from what they see as 'radical' ideology about gender – and from making irreversible medical decisions too young. Download WDAF+ for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV The Kansas law prohibits puberty blockers, hormone therapies and/or surgery for minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria who are trying to transition away from the gender assigned to them at birth. State employees caring for children are not allowed to provide or encourage such treatment—nor are they allowed to encourage 'social transitioning.' The law allows these same treatments to be provided to cisgender youth for any other reason. Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach released a statement in response to the lawsuit: 'I look forward to meeting the ACLU in court and defending our Kansas law. Once again, the ACLU is attempting to twist the meaning of the Kansas Constitution into something unrecognizable. The Kansas Legislature was well within its authority when it acted to protect Kansas children from these harmful surgeries.' The Associated Press contributed to this story.

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (WHTM) — A Pennsylvania man accused of killing his sister, stepmother, and the mother of his children will spend the rest of his life behind bars, sentenced to three consecutive life term without parole.
