Shinzo Abe's Assassination And What It Means For Japan

President Biden signed an executive order on Friday to try to protect access to abortion, but it’s not the solution many reproductive rights advocates were seeking. Then on Saturday, hundreds of demonstrators protested the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade over the weekend in D.C. to pressure Congress to codify abortion-related care into law.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot and killed on Friday while giving a speech in the Japanese city of Nara. Now, as the country grieves, we look at what his killing means for Japan’s political future.

And in headlines: Sri Lanka’s president and prime minister announced their resignations, Steve Bannon told the January 6th House committee that he’s willing to testify, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court outlawed ballot drop boxes.
