True, a strong spring practice, especially in the latter half of the 15 sessions, merited the Michigan State transfer’s preseason storyline. Yet, the redshirt freshman is all too cognizant of the fact that he has to earn those first-team duties.

The measure aims to expand abortion access from 15 weeks to 24 weeks, the point at which a fetus can survive outside the womb. It would allow exemptions to save the woman’s life or to protect her physical or mental health. It would also prevent the state from adopting or enforcing laws that would forbid access to the procedure. Arizona House Speaker Ben Toma, a co-chair of the legislative council, said the group will appeal the court’s decision to the state Supreme Court.
