Abortion Rights: Where Trump, Harris Stand and Laws By States

Aug 21, 2024 | bloomberg.com | Rebecca Greenfield |Kelsey Butler

In overturning Roe v. Wade, the US Supreme Court didn’t so much settle America’s long-running fight over abortion as push the fights to states — and election contests. The court’s June 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization repealed constitutional protections for abortions that had been in place since 1973. That has given conservative governors and legislatures the power they had long sought to limit the medical procedure in their states.

Mar 26, 2024 | bloomberg.com | Jemima Denham |Rebecca Greenfield

Hi, it’s Jemima in New York. What if one antivenom could work for all snake bites? Scientists may be getting there. But first... More than 80,000 people die from snake bites each year and about three times that number suffer permanent disability after being bitten by a snake. But unlike many other serious medical conditions, a highly effective treatment exists. In the parts of the world where many bites occur, it’s just hard to get.
Wall Street Banks Begin a DEI Retreat as Fear of Backlash Looms

Mar 4, 2024 | bloomberg.com | Rebecca Greenfield

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has made a surprising change to its “Possibilities Summit” for Black college students: It’s opened the program to White students. That’s just one of many changes happening on Wall Street to diversity, equity and inclusion programs, as fears of backlash and lawsuits snowball. The “lawyerly tweaks,” as executives are calling them, are starting to add up. And in an industry still dominated by White men, the changes could set back minor progress made in recent years.
Private Equity Is Coming for Multi-Billion Dollar NFL Teams

Feb 9, 2024 | bloomberg.com | Rebecca Greenfield

NFL team valuations grew a whopping 69%, on average, between 2020 and 2023. That has been a double edged sword. On the one hand, families have made a lot of money off of booming revenue. On the other, the teams are worth so much — upwards of $4 billion — they’ve become too expensive for aging owners to pass onto their heirs. Enter: Private equity. A league that has long-shunned the investment ownership model is now being forced to consider it.

New GLP-1 obesity drugs such as Wegovy are coming to market, and others in development could help patients shed more pounds with fewer side effects. But the market also faces headwinds. Demand will almost certainly endure, but it’s unclear whether drugmakers can keep up production.

Nov 16, 2023 | bloomberg.com | Rebecca Greenfield

For years, a shipwreck hunter has battled governments and others over the riches hiding in the depths of the ocean. He’s kept his identity a secret — until now. Anthony Clake is a hedge fund executive who rarely leaves dry land, but has spent many years financing the search for deep-sea treasure. He talks on the record about his pursuits for the first time to Bloomberg Businessweek. “I don’t do it for a living,” he said in a phone interview.
