The chef Sam Fore received an ominous voice mail message this month from an unknown number. The caller identified himself as a private investigator working for the James Beard Foundation. Later that day, Ms. Fore found herself on a Zoom call, answering questions from him and another man. “They said to me, ‘We have an anonymous complaint we have to ask you about,’” she said. Ms. Fore is a finalist in the James Beard awards, which for nearly three decades have been considered the most prestigious culinary honors in the United States, the so-called “Oscars of the food world.” As the #MeToo movement led to high-profile revelations of misbehavior and workplace abuse in the restaurant world in recent years, the Beard foundation overhauled its processes to make the awards more equitable and diverse, and to ensure that chefs with troubling histories are not honored.

Republican Gov. Henry McMaster of South Carolina signed legislation on Thursday that would restrict abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, and Planned Parenthood announced shortly after that they will be suing to block the law. McMaster signed the “ Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act ,” which bans abortion procedures after a fetus’s heartbeat can be detected, usually occurring after six weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape and incest, or for the mother’s physical health. The bill passed South Carolina’s Senate on Tuesday, and Planned Parenthood of South Atlantic immediately filed a lawsuit in the Richland County Circuit Court to block the bill shortly after it received McMaster’s signature.

A judge in South Carolina blocked the state’s fetal heartbeat abortion law Friday, one day after it was signed into law and challenged by pro-abortion groups. Judge Clifton Newman of the Circuit Court of South Carolina issued the injunction pending a decision from the South Carolina Supreme Court about the bill, a similar version of which that court struck down in January. Newman’s decision reverts South Carolina’s abortion limit back to 22 weeks, according to Abortion Finder. (RELATED: South Carolina Enacts Six-Week Abortion Ban, Planned Parenthood Sues Immediately) “The status quo should be maintained until the Supreme Court reviews its decision,” Newman said, according to the Associated Press , adding that “[i]t’s going to end up there.” Newman issued the ruling in favor of the plaintiffs, who filed their suit in Richland County on Thursday.
