Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. The Supreme Court tonight granted an emergency request from two drug makers of the abortion pill Miffapristone to put a hold on an appeals court order that sought to limit how the pill can be prescribed and distributed. That lower court order banned telemedicine visits and delivery by mail,

and Pierre Salina Simmons-Duffin has more. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade nearly four

years ago, telemedicine abortion has grown and grown, and it now accounts for a quarter of all

abortions in the country. Some of those abortions are happening in states with bans,

but residents of states where abortion is legal are also making use of the flexibility of telemedicine

to access abortion. I've talked to people who live in remote parts of California, in Georgia, in Louisiana,

who all used telemedicine abortion and were grateful they had that option.

And Pierre Salina Simmons-Duffin reporting, the High Court is allowing that access to continue while

the case plays out. Justice's Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, but the court didn't

explain its reasoning nor disclosed the vote count. U.S. Central Command says it's not

investigating most allegations of Iranian civilians killed by U.S. airstrikes.

In Pierce Quill-Lorrence reports Admiral Brad Cooper addressed the matter during testimony before a Senate

committee. Admiral Cooper said that one incident at the start of the war is still under investigation to determine if the U.S. was responsible for an airstrike on an Iranian girl school that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand pressed Cooper about other cases.

How many schools have we bond?

There is one active civilian casualty investigation from the 13,629

munitions. So how do you explain the publicly available information that 22 schools have been hit and

multiple hospitals? There's no way that we can corroborate that. No indication of that whatsoever,

Senator. Cooper said the Pentagon is not investigating any of the other

incidents. Quill Lawrence NPR News. Senators passed a resolution today to withhold their own pay during

future government shutdowns. Empires-Ava Berger reports the move brings them in line with most federal

employees who receive back pay only when the government reopens.
