I think Abortions should get rewards for the women doing them, maybe gift cards or some kind of thing for society to show approval to them for not bringing another life into the world. Ideally the society would also look up to women who have abortions and consider them to be doing a good deed. Maybe we can have discounts in stores for men and women who have had abortions or are childfree, to encourage the society to stop producing children. What do you guys think?

• Climate Central’s new global analysis shows that human-caused climate change has at least doubled the average number of pregnancy heat-risk days (extremely hot days associated with increased risk of preterm birth) in 222 countries from 2020 to 2024.
• In the U.S., climate change added 12 (48%) of the 25 average annual pregnancy heat-risk days experienced during the last five years.
• All 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia experienced at least one additional week’s worth of pregnancy heat-risk days due to climate change, on average annually.
• Cities across the U.S. Southwest had the highest average number of pregnancy heat-risk days added by climate change.
• In addition to extreme heat, climate change-related extreme weather events put pregnant people at risk from air pollution, flooding, infrastructure damages, and prenatal stress.

Childhood maltreatment often continues from one generation to the next, perpetuating the cycle of abuse and depression. In a bid to promote healthier parent-child relationships, researchers from the University of Fukui compared mothers who engaged in maltreatment with those who did not, revealing that childhood trauma increases emotional empathy and depressive symptoms, raising the risk of abusive parenting. Their findings highlight the need for mental health support and parenting programs to help break this cycle.
