Some people in the US are rushing to get sterilized after the Roe v. Wade ruling

In the wake of the reversal of the federal right to an abortion, gynecologists say they have seen an increase in women and non-binary people requesting tubal ligation -- more commonly referred to as tying tubes.
The 26-year-old had considered sterilization in recent years but had not taken any steps. Then came the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, and she started spending her evenings searching online for surgeons who conduct the procedure on young people.
"I was afraid that it would be hard to find a doctor to perform a tubal ligation, as I am a young, single female in a red, conservative state," said Carden, who lives in Irving, Texas.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
