Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:27:04 GMT

California sued Bay Area crisis pregnancy centers Thursday for offering an abortion pill reversal procedure that Attorney General Rob Bonta said is unproven and largely experimental.The lawsuit against Heartbeat International, a national anti-abortion group, and RealOptions Obria, which operates pregnancy centers in San Jose, Oakland, Redwood City and Union City, accuses them of deceptive and fraudulent advertising of the abortion pill reversal procedure in violation of California’s false advertising and unfair competition laws.“Those who are struggling with the complex decision to get an abortion deserve support and trustworthy guidance — not lies and misinformation,” Bonta said. “We are launching today’s lawsuit to put a stop to their predatory and unlawful behavior.”Heartbeat International and RealOptions Obria representatives were not immediately available for comment.Abortion pills have become a central front in the nation’s battl...

SAN JOSE — San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, putting his availability for the team’s Oct. 12 season-opener with the Vegas Golden Knights into question.Couture said Thursday on the first day of Sharks training camp that the injury didn’t take place at one particular moment, but happened over time earlier this offseason as he began to ramp up his skating for the upcoming year.“It’s not ideal. It sucks,” Couture said. “I wish I was out there with the guys. It’s tough watching. I hate watching. I want to play. I want to be a part of every day the guys are out there.

Carbon offsets undercut California’s climate progress, researchers find

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:27:04 GMT

By Ben Elgin | BloombergSince the passage of its landmark climate regulations 17 years ago, California has been a leader in the fight against global warming. The state reached its 2020 emissions target four years early. It has set a timeline to phase out the sale of gasoline-powered cars, and utilities in the state must get 60% of their electricity from renewable sources by the end of the decade.But for all of California’s progress, some of it is being undercut by a problem with one of the state’s key climate policies, according to a research paper published Thursday.That policy, known as cap and trade, creates a market where the state’s biggest emitters must ratchet down their climate pollution over time or pay others who have more aggressively slashed their emissions. The program also allows companies to meet part of their requirements by purchasing carbon offsets. These credits come from projects around the country that follow the state’s rules, like forests that store extra carb...

By James Pollard and Jeffrey Collins | Associated PressCHARLESTON, S.C. — Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh did something Thursday he hasn’t done in the two years since his life of privilege and power started to unravel — plead guilty to a crime.Murdaugh admitted in federal court to 22 counts of financial fraud and money laundering.Murdaugh, 55, is serving life without parole in a South Carolina prison for shooting his wife, Maggie, and younger son Paul. He has denied any role in the killings since their deaths in June 2021 and insisted he was innocent in two days of testimony earlier this year before he was convicted of two counts of murder.“There’s two things Alex will tell you. One, he stole the money. Two, he did not kill Maggie and Paul,” defense attorney Dick Harpootlian said after the hearing.The federal guilty plea likely locks in years if not decades in prison for the disbarred lawyer, even if his murder conviction and sentence in state court are over...
