 This comes after the state's court struck down two laws restricting abortion on Friday. One law that was in question banned the most common form of a second trimester abortion, except for when it was needed to save the mother's life. In 2019, the court found the state's constitution protects personal autonomy, including the decision to continue a pregnancy or not. California is receiving federal assistance to support the response to the French fire. The wildfire started Thursday night in Mariposa County, quickly burning about 850 acres of land and forcing the evacuation of 1,100 people.
