SUMMARY: The Texas Medical Board approved new rules regarding exceptions to the state's abortion ban, including defining ectopic pregnancy and clarifying that doctors can act before life-threatening conditions occur. The changes aim to address concerns about the clarity of the law, as the Texas Supreme Court stated exceptions are broad enough to allow abortions when a mother's is in danger. This followed a lawsuit from women with severe pregnancy complications seeking clarity. The rules don't list specific conditions for exceptions, emphasizing medical judgment. Doctors must provide documentation within seven days explaining the need for an abortion, and previous requirements to transfer patients have been removed.

The Texas Medical Board unanimously approved guidelines for how doctors should interpret exceptions to the state's abortion ban.

Hurricane Beryl: Is it going to hit Texas?

SUMMARY: Hurricane Barrel, a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds, made landfall in the Windward Islands early this morning, impacting Grenada and St. Vincent. Now entering the Caribbean, the storm is projected to move westward, potentially reaching the Yucatan Peninsula by the weekend. Barrel has already broken several records: it’s the strongest June hurricane on record, the earliest Category 4 hurricane, and the most intense storm to ever hit the Windward Islands. As the storm progresses, it is expected to weaken due to wind shear before impacting Northern Mexico or Southern Texas. Meanwhile, there’s an update on Invest 96L, which has a 60% chance of development.

FOX 4 meteorologist Dylan Federico is tracking Hurricane Beryl as it moves toward Mexico. Take a look at the possible paths, including the chance that it could move toward Texas.

SCOTUS Decision: Did Trump get immunity?

SUMMARY: The US Supreme Court has ruled on whether former President Donald Trump can be tried criminally for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. In his opinion, Chief Justice Roberts categorized potential actions into four “buckets” to determine if they're prosecutable. Official actions, such as discussions with Justice Department lawyers, are off-limits, while individual actions, like speaking at the January 6th rally, are prosecutable. Gray areas, like conversations with non-government attorneys, require further scrutiny. The ruling makes it harder to prosecute a former president by setting a high threshold of conditions and standards, outlining a complex legal framework for future cases.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in a case that weighs whether former President Donald Trump can be tried criminally for trying to overturn the 2020 election. Long story short, the book is not closed. Constitutional law attorney David Coale joined Good Day to take a closer look at the decision.
