SUMMARY: Texas has strict abortion laws, and a new appeals court ruling is making them even tougher. ABC covered the impact of these laws, speaking with women who had medical emergencies and high-risk pregnancies in states with strict laws like Texas. Many women were told to go home and wait until they were sick enough to qualify for care under Texas law, and some had to travel to other states for the procedure. Doctors in Texas and other conservative states feel powerless and critical of restrictive laws. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals also further restricted state law, ruling that a Texas hospital is not required to perform life-saving abortions. This will have a significant effect on abortion in the country, and it is predicted to be a major issue in the 2024 elections. ABC News' ‘On the Brink' with Diane Sawyer and Rachel Scott airs Friday at 8 p.m. on ABC13 and streaming on Hulu.

SUMMARY: In Texas, residents have observed an unusual rise in fly populations, particularly exacerbated in recent years. The phenomenon, discussed by Central Texans on Reddit, aligns with insights from Texas AgriLife Entomologist Wizzie Brown. She explains that the state's warm climate supports year-round fly activity, with heat accelerating their life cycle, leading to rapid population growth. Climate change is likely worsening the issue, as higher temperatures benefit flies and expand their habitable areas. To manage the infestation, Brown suggests regular trash removal, using outdoor garbage bins, and cleaning these bins with dish soap to eliminate fly-attracting odors.
