Voters in deep-red Kansas decisively defeated a proposed amendment that would have allowed the state's legislature to further restrict, or even ban, abortion.

An initial draft opinion obtained by Politico suggests the Supreme Court will vote to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision. In the draft, which is several months old, Justice Samuel Alito writes in part that Roe was “egregiously wrong from the start.” U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson will address Ukraine's parliament remotely amid hopes for more evacuations from Mariupol.

Dave Chappelle's accused attacker has been charged with four misdemeanor counts, but no felonies. And in a bargain of historical proportions, a Texas woman picked up a 2,000-year-old sculpture that once belonged to a king from a Goodwill shop for $35.

Roe v. Wade remains a lightning rod

Rallies for and against the Supreme Court's historic decision overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion case have continued around the country. Scattered violence and vandalism have occurred. A preliminary hearing was to be held Monday in Moscow for detained WNBA star Brittney Griner. And a U.S. Navy destroyer that sank during World War II has been found off the Philippines nearly 23,000 feet down -- the deepest shipwreck ever located anywhere.
