The Trump Campaign raced to clarify the former president's comments after he signalled that he was open to expanding access to abortion in Florida in an upcoming referendum. Florida bans almost all abortions after six weeks and, when asked how he would vote on a measure that would extend the limit to more than 20 weeks, Trump told DailyMail.com: 'I want more than six weeks.' In a referendum that offers a simple yes or no to voters, his response horrified allies in the anti-abortion movement.

In his much-anticipated announcement on Truth Social, the former president didn't specify a time frame and celebrated the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

Carol Doda, a young woman who grew up in San Francisco, sparked controversy across the United States after first baring her chest during a show at the now famous Condor Club. During her time in the limelight, the actress underwent 44 surgical procedures to inject silicone into her breasts to shrink them from 34B to 44DD. Eventually, her impressive bust, which was dubbed 'the new Twin Peaks of San Francisco,' was covered by $1.5 million. She has been lauded for leading the "liberating movement" that inspired the next 20 years of entertainment. Carol, who died in 2015, continued dancing until the age of 49. FEMAIL explores her ascension to fame in this series, as a new documentary is planned to dedelve into her enthralling tale.

The results of Tuesday's special election were a major victory for abortion rights campaigners, who may have faced the daunting prospect of securing a super-majority of voters this fall if the law had passed. The plan, which is referred to as Issue 1, will have lowered the threshold for passing future reforms to the state constitution by 60% of voters, up from 51%, as well as tightening voter requirements for placing such measures on the ballot in the first place. After it became clear that it would not pass, Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman, a Republican who fought the referendum, told reporters.'I think it's a question that warranted asking of the voters.'

Elise Stefanik, the House Republican Conference Chairwoman, is speaking out in favor of Republicans' pledge to safeguarding the integrity of life a year after the Supreme Court upheld landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade. 'This is a historic moment for the American people,' Stefanik told DailyMail.com during an exclusive interview at the National Press Club on Tuesday, ahead of her keynote address to pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List.' When Stefanik first ran for Congress in 2013, she was supported by the SBA List.

As the fetus was removed, NPR reporter Kate Wells (right) played partial video of a woman ending her pregnancy of 11 weeks, with the patient often screaming over cramps as the fetus was removed. The woman yelled, 'I don't think I can do this,' she told doctors, who reassured her that, 'Yes, you can.' Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser (left) slammed NPR for the 11-minute segment, saying it crossed a line despite the woman's thanks to the doctors. 'It's horrifying and insensitive for a taxpayer-funded media outlet to broadcast the cruciating moments for a child and mother of an abortion,' Dannenfelser said.

Rarely do I incite someone to comment on the back of a glossy magazine's front page. Yet, at the tail end of the 1990s, I did exactly that, prompting the biggest (and smallest) star of the day into expressly telling me in huge letters: 'I'm thin, so what?' I had been wailing in print - in my own magazine, Marie Claire, and in this issue - that Calista Flockhart, the actress of Ally McBeal, was a threat to women's wellbeing. She was the kind of Hollywood thin that made her features too wide for her face, her skull too large for her tiny body, and clad as it evidently was in a pelmet skirt that revealed her kidneys.

The plaque depicting a Ku Klux Klan member (left) was ordered to be demolished by the Naming Commission, which was an arm of the Department of Defense that is charged with reviewing and upgrading military assets that honor Confederate figures. Although the plaque's fate is uncertain because the Naming Commission has no information regarding non-Confederate figures and the US Army has declined to say whether or not they'll follow the order, West Point defended the monument. The plaque, according to a prestigious academy, is only a small part of a larger bronze mural (right) depicting both the good and evil of American history. Laura Gardin Fraser (inset), an American sculptor who was hired to design the panels and wanted to create art that represented the principal events of that time, thereby capturing both tragedy and triumph in our nation's history.'

The engraving at the prestigious military academy, which is located in Upstate New York, 50 miles north of New York City, is part of a massive mural depicting various aspects of US history on one of the country's oldest campus buildings. The sprawling display, which was carved into three bronze plaques that adorned the structure's entrance, features a variety of images associated with Americana, including photographs of Civil War-era plantations and the Founding Fathers. The installation, which was more than a half-century old, was one of hundreds of structures flagged in a report issued by the Congressional Naming Commission on Monday, which was a task force established by Congress last year to send suggestions to the Department of Defense (DOD) on renaming US military installations associated with the rebel army. The paper was primarily devoted to Confederate markers at both West Point and the US Naval Academy in Maryland, and officials quoted over a dozen buildings between both bases, most of which depict Confederate figures such as Robert E. Lee. However, the commission has decided that it would not request the removal of the KKK decoration, which decorates the entrance of the Bartlett Hall Science Center, just months after the Civil War, and therefore falls outside of its jurisdiction. Rather, the commission has simply recommended that it be taken down. The sentiment has since sparked outrage around the world, with Americans pointing out the absurdity of a group that can freely nix names connected to their nation's history but not have the authority to remove an explicitly racist artifact. Despite being built in 1937, DailyMail.com shows the other aspects of the plaque, which also includes non-racist photos of important abolitionists and historical female figures, such as Clara Barton and Susan B. Anthony.

Salman Rushdie was planning to deliver a lecture on City Asylum, a Pittsburgh-based writers under threat of persecution as part of the Chautauqua Institution's continuing lecture series prior to being stabbed on stage. Rushdie was keen to meet with Henry Reese, co-founder and president of City of Asylum. Rushdie had delivered a address in 1997 that prompted Reese to found City of Asylum prior to his speaking engagement at the university, according to the organization.
