Kline seeks full abortion records amid court fight
U S District Judge J Thomas Marten issued a temporary restraining order over confidential patient doctor privilege as the investigation proceeds. The case centers on Kline's demand for uncensored medical records of women seeking abortions at least 22 weeks into pregnancy, with hearings held in secret. Clinics offered redacted data, but Kline pressed for full files, saying the inquiry risks compromising patients' rights without intervention by the Supreme Court.

Fewer large-animal vets as rural farms shrink impact care
The decline of rural life reduces veterinarians trained in large-animal medicine. Thorp notes long hours, on-call emergencies, and strenuous labor deter youths, and large-animal practice is seen as less lucrative than small-animal work. She adds it may be in the blood or not.

Lawmakers clash on education package funding and court ruling
Rep Bruce Larkin questions the education bill saying it appeases politics and ignores the court’s directive to fund schools by costs. The House plan cuts vocational education by 19.5 million and trims funds for districts above or below 1,725 students. Decker cites overall questions about school and state benefit. Senate plan mirrors House in raising base aid and bilingual and special education spending. It would lift 2005-06 funding by 165.6 million, then 147.6 million and 142 million in subsequent years.
