Ryan Bangert, in First Things, explains how numerous state ballot initiatives to be decided in the upcoming U.S. election could create the beginnings of a new “pro-abortion legal regime” that is far more permissive than the old regime struck down by the Supreme Court in 2022.

One sign of success: China is measurably bleeding in its manufacturing output.
