The near-total ban permits abortions only to save the patient’s life and provides no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest.

Police killed student outside Wisconsin school after reports of someone with a weapon, official says
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul says police shot and killed a student outside a middle school after receiving a report of someone with a weapon.

Kaul spoke Wednesday evening at the first law enforcement briefing on an incident that sent children fleeing amid gunshots earlier in the day.

Kaul said that while police used deadly force, he didn't say how many officers fired weapons or whether the student had fired a weapon.

The current round of talks appears to be serious, with Hamas considering a new proposal. But the sides remain far apart on the key issue of whether the war should end as part of an emerging deal.
