North Dakota aims at school curriculum to deter abortions
The 37-9 vote comes on the heels of the North Dakota Supreme Court's ruling this month that a state abortion ban will remain blocked while a lawsuit over its constitutionality proceeds. “If young people see the beauty of these beginnings, then hopefully they’ll think twice before running to the abortion clinic," Sen. Janne Myrdal, a Republican of Edinburg who helped introduce the bill, said in an interview with The Associated Press. The bill would mandate schools to show middle and high school students a high-definition ultrasound video, at least three minutes long, on the development of the brain, heart and other vital organs in early fetal development — along with a high-quality animation of the fertilization and human development process inside the uterus, “noting significant markers in cell growth and organ development for every week of pregnancy.”

Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia, which houses the sculpture, reopened Tuesday after its weekly Monday closure, and both tourists and locals alike couldn’t get over the controversy.
