🔎Gov. Glenn Youngkin acclaimed the much-anticipated Supreme Court ruling released Friday, ending constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place for nearly 50 years.
In Virginia, abortion is currently legal up to 25 weeks in a pregnancy, but Gov. Youngkin has said he's in favor of a 15-week threshold. The governor said that he's asked a number of senators and delegates to work together in an effort to "find areas where we can agree and chart the most successful path forward."
"The Supreme Court of the United States has rightfully returned power to the people and their elected representatives in the states," he said in a tweeted statement. "I'm proud to be a pro-life Governor and plan to take every action I can to protect life."
He went on to share more about his commitment to supporting Virginian families and "unborn lives."

🔻😢Egypt was shocked by the murder of Naira Ashraf Abdel Qader, who was killed in front of horrified onlookers and a full view of security cameras. Images of her body have spread on social media after she was repeatedly stabbed in her neck and torso outside the entrance of Mansoura University.
Police said a suspect was in custody and, in interviews, had confessed he was motivated by her refusal to communicate with him on Facebook and marry him.
According to the Egyptian news site Al-Falah Al-Youm, the accused, who has been named only as “Mohammed A” and was arrested at the scene, told the prosecutor yesterday that Ashraf had blocked him on social media and that he had made several attempts to contact her throughout a year and a half period which he told investigators “she became famous” and accrued a social media following.

😍💫💫Beyoncé has officially signed off on quitting your job. Her newest single, "Break My Soul," has been heralded as a Great Resignation anthem and marks a cultural turning point.
The musical icon — which samples rapper Big Freedia sings: "I just quit my job/ I'm gonna find new drive/ Damn they work me so damn hard/ Work by nine/ Then off past five." The job works her nerves and "that's why I cannot sleep at night."
Like the millions of Americans who have been quitting their jobs at near-record highs for a year, Beyoncé isn't abandoning the concept of work altogether. Instead, she's "lookin' for motivation" and a "new foundation" — something that has undoubtedly propelled many of America's quitters into different roles as they realize that life is too short to work in a job they aren't passionate about.

🎥 Law enforcement officers in Phoenix, Arizona used tear gas to break up a sizable group of protesters outside the State Senate following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion ruling.
"Protesters threatened to break the AZ Senate entryway glass," Republican state Senator Wendy Rogers tweeted. Members were in the middle of voting on a series of bills.
The situation escalated into a "hostage" scenario as lawmakers were instructed not to exit the building, Republican state Senator Kelly Townsend added.
The Republican caucus of the State Senate later called the protest an attempted "insurrection."

WATCH | A Sputnik correspondent reports from Ecuador's capital Quito, which has been gripped by violent protests.
Since 13 June, Ecuador has been paralyzed by demonstrations against the economic policies of President Guillermo Lasso, with thousands, led primarily by indigenous organization Conaie, marching through the capital and at times clashing with police.
