A federal judge has overruled a North Carolina law protecting unborn babies from abortion starting at the 20th week of pregnancy. U.S. District Judge William Osteen’s ruling Monday gives state legislators 60 days to amend the law or appeal his ruling. The measure, passed in 2016, included exceptions for mothers who faced a risk of death or serious and irreversible harm if the pregnancy continued.

UPDATE: In a letter to key members of Congress, Attorney General William Barr said he could update them on the “principal conclusions” of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigative report as soon as this weekend. Leaders of both parties welcomed the news. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he hoped the findings of the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election would “help inform and improve our efforts to protect our democracy.” Democrats demanded that Barr make public the full contents of the report.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican, on Thursday signed a law that will protect babies from abortion once they have a detectable heartbeat, usually at about six weeks of gestation. The law says an abortionist who ends a pregnancy after a baby’s heartbeat is detected could face revocation of his or her medical license. It includes exceptions if a pregnancy endangers a woman’s life or one of her major bodily functions.

LifeWay Christian Resources announced Wednesday it will close all 170 of its retail stores this year and focus on digital sales. In January, the publishing arm of the Southern Baptist Convention said it would reduce its brick-and-mortar locations due to declining customer traffic and sales. “While we had hoped to keep some stores open, current market projections show this is no longer a viable option,” acting President and CEO Brad Waggoner said in a statement.

U.S.-backed Syrian forces on Tuesday seized control of an Islamic State (ISIS) encampment near the village of Baghuz, the last territory controlled by the terror group.

The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) suspended the membership of Chicago-area megachurch Harvest Bible Chapel after blogger Julie Roys reported lavish spending by fired Pastor James MacDonald. “Given the emergence of new information, we have concerns the church may be in serious violation of ECFA Standards,” the organization said in a statement Friday.

UPDATE: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the main perpetrator in Friday’s deadly mosque shootings in Christchurch was a licensed gun owner and legally acquired the five guns used in the attacks. The country’s national gun laws will change, Ardern said, after at least 49 people were shot dead in two mosques. Authorities said most if not all were killed by an immigrant-hating white supremacist. People from Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Turkey were among those injured and killed.
