US births fall as virus may deepen baby bust trend
U S births declined last year to about 3.7 million, the lowest in 35 years, as the CDC notes a continuing baby bust. Experts blame shifting motherhood attitudes, high rents, and economic uncertainty tied to the coronavirus. Some predict declines will persist, while others see possible pockets of uptick. The report covers birth rates across age groups, cesarean deliveries, and preterm births.

DOJ warns California re opening may discriminate against religion
The Justice Department warned Gov. Newsom that California's staggered reopening from the coronavirus crisis could discriminate against religious groups and in person worship. Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband said the policy treats religious worship less favorably than secular activities and pledged federal civil rights protections. The move follows prior DOJ actions siding with churches challenging state shutdown limits on gatherings.
