A federal court in Cincinnati reviews complex legal arguments for and against Ohio's Down syndrome abortion ban, in a case viewed as pivotal in the national debate over the procedure.
The Trump Justice Department took the state of Ohio's side in the case in January, writing: “Nothing in Ohio’s law creates a substantial obstacle to women obtaining an abortion."
In another of the Ohio case's legal twists, a group of mothers whose children have Down syndrome has sided with the ACLU of Ohio, Preterm-Cleveland and other abortion providers who brought the suit. They argue the law — dubbed the “Ohio Down Syndrome Non-Discrimination Act" — actually perpetuates discrimination against their children by singling out their genetic anomaly over others.
Mike Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life, the state's oldest and largest anti-abortion group, agreed that, legally, the Down syndrome law is not an outright ban on abortion — since the prohibition depends on the doctor's knowledge of the diagnosis.

Let's Get Down to Business: Mulan Star Liu Yifei Is Gilded RoyaltyOn Monday night, Disney’s live-action Mulan remake hosted its Los Angeles premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. While most of the looks were somehow boringly contemporary, the film’s star Liu Yifei arrived and delivered in what I can only describe as the quinceañera gown of my teen dreams. The tulle, the chiffon—whatever the hell her skirt is made of—is thick and glorious in an elegant gold with similarly shiny lamé detailing. Honestly, I don’t know anything about fashion or even if any of those descriptors are accurate, but I do know I would love to be buried in such a royal fabric. I assume they will make action figures of her for the forthcoming flick, I would like one in this look to save as a cake topper/wedding inspo.
