Kansas' top court has bolstered the right to an abortion in the state. Shelley Adler has details. The highest court in Kansas has strongly reaffirmed that the state constitution protects abortion access. They struck down a ban on a common second trimester procedure and laws regulating abortion providers more strictly than other health care providers. The decisions came almost two years after an August 2022 statewide vote decisively affirming abortion rights, the first such vote after the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision that allowed states to ban abortion altogether. Kansas voters rejected a proposed change in the state constitution, approved by the Republican-controlled legislature to declare that the document provides no right to abortion. I'm Shelley Adler.

America's employers delivered another healthy month of hiring in June. The Labor Department reports they added a solid 206,000 jobs. That's a bit slower than May but still a strong gain. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1%. That report helped keep the rally rolling on Wall Street. I'm Damian Troyisi and this is the AP Markets report. Stocks rose to more records on Wall Street. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% to set an all-time high for a third straight day. It closed its ninth-winning week in the last 11. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.2%. The Nasdaq rose 0.9% to its own record. Gaines for some big influential stocks including Apple also helped support the market. Treasury yields sank following the jobs data which reinforced belief on Wall Street that the U.S. economy will stay in a not-too-hot but not-too-cold state that could prompt the Federal Reserve to cut rates later this year.
