Wade is overturned, and a dozen more states are likely to follow suit. Rutgers University law professor Kim Mutcherson chats with NPR about what will happen if these "trigger laws" go into effect, and how some states are expanding abortion coverage. When a security guard at Tops supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y., fired his weapon at the gunman who entered the store, his fire was blocked by the man's body armor. The Buffalo shooter is the latest to wear body armer during his attack, and in the U.S. the gear is subject to far fewer restrictions than guns. Texas' new law aims to stop big social media platforms from removing posts or banning users based on their political viewpoints. Opponents say the law will prevent tech giants from removing content that, while not illegal, may be harmful — including propaganda and misinformation.   Newsletter continues after sponsor message Picture show Adam Lach for NPR Millions of Ukrainians waited for hours at the Polish border during February and March in order to escape Russia's invasion.
