Proponents say the law expands autonomy and provides end-of-life options, while Catholic groups warn it coerces conscience and threatens vulnerable patients, prompting ongoing legal challenges.

Elena Vasquez The law should apply evenly so patients get real choices at the end without special carve-outs for any group.

Cubs Reinstate Cabrera from IL to Bolster Bullpen, Thornton Placed on List — 5dThe Chicago Cubs activated right-hander Edward Cabrera from the 15-day injured list and moved Trent Thornton to the 15-day IL with a left ankle sprain, moving Cabrera to the bullpen for the rest of the season and potentially postseason help. Cabrera, who has a 5.68 ERA across 76 innings this year and has battled multiple injuries, will be used in low-leverage relief as the Cubs continue to manage a pitching-strapped roster.

Sam Okafor Cabrera's numbers this year don't inspire much but a new arm in the bullpen might ease some late-season pressure.
