U.S. Justice Dept. requests Supreme Court to block Texas abortion law[edit]
@Alsoriano97: argues against its inclusion to this portal because it is "strictly domestic". This argument may be valid. However, when I counter-argued that the event is being reported by an international news agency and published on a non-American news website (which I think are valid enough for inclusion, at least in terms of attracting international interest), Al rebutted by citing "when Biden stumbled, which even appeared in regional newspapers", and that such events "have their place in 2021 in the United States". Firstly, I think this is missing the point because Biden stumbling (I am assuming this was when he tripped while climbing aboard Air Force One last March) is not even mentioned in 2021 in the United States, so Biden stumbling is rather irrelevant for different reasons. Secondly, I believe that the topic of the question on the legality of abortion (for any country) has always been an issue of international interest; case in point, the Mexican Supreme Court decriminalizing abortion last September 7 was mentioned in its portal (in fact, it was Al himself who added this news). I have yet to understand how this is not worthy of inclusion because it is still not clear to me as to how the Texas abortion law is "strictly domestic" (but Mexico's event on a similar matter is). While I hope to include it because I believe that "the fact that a newspaper in another country publishes it" makes such event satisfy at least the international interest criteria, I would appreciate other insights on whether it is worthy of inclusion or not. signed, Pattalk 07:07, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
