Thousands of abortion opponents plan to rally in Washington the 50th annual 'March for Life', marking a new chapter for a movement that has organised for decades around overturning Roe vs Wade.

The annual March for Life will focus on states where abortion is still legal.Thousands of abortion opponents plan to rally in Washington on Friday for the 50th annual"March for Life", marking a new chapter for a movement that has organised for decades around overturning Roe vs Wade, the landmark ruling that recognised a women's right to an abortion.

"It's a moment to stop and to reflect upon all that's happened in the course of the last 50 years leading up to this year, but also to think about what are the next steps," March for Life President Jeanne Mancini said. Since the end of Roe on 24 June 2022, 12 states have enforced total abortion bans with limited exceptions and abortion is unavailable in two additional states, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights research and advocacy organisation.

In 2023, the organisation aims to hold 10 state marches, including in Arizona, Virginia, California and Connecticut, and Mancini hopes they will reach all 50 states within the next 10 years. Abortion rights advocates were marking the occasion by reflecting on the enormous disruption in reproductive healthcare that the United States has witnessed over the last year, and calling for more legislation to protect abortion rights at the state and national level.On what would have been Roe's 50th anniversary, we are instead facing the deepest crisis in abortion access in 50 years.

Abortion is murder.

If they're so opposed, let them rally in queues to adopt children. Funny thing is, they won't. And they won't donate every month to support abandoned children either. Hypocrites.

Why Are Kenya's Rift Valley Lakes Rising, Threatening Thousands?The Kenyan lakes in the Rift Valley have witnessed significant water level increases recently, ranging from 21% for Lake Naivasha to 123% for Solai. Homes, schools, and hospitals have been flooded. A Kenyan government report estimates that about 80,000 households - 400,000 people - have been affected by the floods since 2010. There are grave economic consequences since agricultural fields and tourism infrastructure have been damaged, reports Mathew Herrnegger for The Conversation. Data collected from research show that increases in rainfall since 2010 explain the lake level rises. While no scientific study has yet been published explaining the recent increase in water levels, there has been no doubt that an activity deep into the earth's crust could be triggering this overflow aided, perhaps partially, by human activities. Human activity and changes in underground permeability have been advanced before to explain the lake level rises. The results of the study illustrate that surprisingly minor changes in the water balance are enough to explain the lake level rises.  The regional climate in Eastern Africa has shown significant variability in the past, with long-lasting periods of severe drought but also wetter periods as we are currently observing. Water level fluctuations in the Rift Valley lakes are not new. Lake Naivasha, for instance, was reduced to a puddle around 1850 and particularly low levels persisted throughout the 1940s and 1950s.
