Improve The News is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them. **What's establishment bias?** The establishment view is what all big parties and powers agree on, which varies between countries and over time. For example, the old establishment view that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote was successfully challenged. ITN makes it easy for you to compare the perspectives of the pro-establishment mainstream media with those of smaller establishment-critical news outlets that you won’t find in most other news aggregators. This Magazine/Community is not affiliated with Improve The News and is an unofficial repository of the information posted there.

  • On Wednesday, the Arizona Senate voted to repeal the state's 1864 abortion law. Previously, the House last week approved the repeal of the law, which bans abortion from the moment of conception except to save the life of the mother. BBC News
  • Two Republicans joined all 14 Senate Democrats in voting for the repeal, which Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs is expected to sign into law. However, without court action, it would take 90 days after the end of the legislative session to take effect. Associated Press (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has said that the 1864 law will still go into effect on June 27. There's no fixed date to end the legislative session in Arizona, which will likely happen between June and August. Newsweek (LR: 1 CP: 5)
  • The 1864 law, which was triggered by the US Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, was upheld by Arizona's Supreme Court in April. Arizona will revert to a 2022 law that restricts abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy once the 1864 law is repealed. Washington Post (LR: 2 CP: 5)
  • A ballot initiative that would enshrine abortion access in the state constitution and extend protections to 24 weeks of pregnancy will be on the ballot in Arizona in November. Arizona Mirror

Left narrative:

  • This is a huge victory for the people of Arizona, who are broadly opposed to such a draconian measure. The overturning of Roe v. Wade revived a Civil War-era law that became part of the right's anti-woman crusade, but these efforts are backfiring. Even pro-life voters are voicing their displeasure with such inhumane measures.
    MSNBC (LR: 1 CP: 5)

Right narrative:

  • It's disturbing that two Republicans abandoned their party to concede to the left and oppose a pro-life bill. Arizona has some of the strongest protections in the country for the unborn and the backing of the courts. It's sad there was more moral clarity in 1864 than in 2024 on this issue.

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 50% chance that 56.1% of US states will have Casey-era abortion rights on May 1, 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
