I really enjoyed The Plucky Squire, an action-adventure game in the vein of classic Legend of Zelda titles.

Otherwise, The Plucky Squire feels simplistic and even infantile in places, which feels like an insult to the kids that its themes purport to uplift.

At the end of the day, I get that The Plucky Squire just wants to be inclusive. »

Pregnancy deaths rose by 56% in Texas after 2021 abortion ban, analysis finds

Authored by nbcnews.com

“All the research points to Texas’ abortion ban as the primary driver of this alarming increase.”.

The Texas Legislature banned abortion care as early as five weeks into pregnancy in September 2021, nearly a year before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — the case that protected a federal right to abortion — in June 2022.

Texas law now prohibits all abortion except to save the life of the mother. »
