In This Issue: Japan’s low birth rate and aging population have had a surprising side effect. In Japan’s cities, homes are being abandoned as their residents pass away with no relatives to fill them. These abandoned homes, known as “akiyas,” are being bought by social media influencers to renovate and sell at a profit. In the rural areas, where the issue of depopulation is even more pronounced, whole towns have been abandoned as the few young people remaining leave for cities.

In This Issue: A new Danish study has found that having an abortion is linked to negative mental health outcomes, challenging a previous study that claimed no increased risk of mental disorders occur after a first-trimester abortion.

In This Issue: Recently, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz seemed to deny that sweeping abortion legislation he signed in 2023 allows abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy. This implied denial is false. A Breitbart fact check found the following: “Walz made Minnesota the first in the nation to codify abortion via legislative action after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Minnesota is now one of nine states, including Washington, DC, that has no restrictions on abortion, meaning abortion would technically be legal in the final month of pregnancy.”
