Summary

The Supreme Court protected access to a widely used abortion drug by freezing lower-court rulings that placed restrictions on medication abortion. The order means that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the drug mifepristone will remain in place while appeals play out, potentially for months to come. Plus, a Russian war plane accidentally drops a bomb on one of its own cities. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
