We’re still processing the implications of the draft-opinion leak indicating that the Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade. If made official, this decision would leave the legal status of abortion up to the discretion of the states, 26 of which are either certain or likely to ban abortion when the Court allows it. And

On June 24, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and removed federal protections for Americans’ right to abortion.

On June 24, the US Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that upheld a person’s fundamental right to an abortion.

The Supreme Court voted today to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that established a pregnant person’s right to an abortion. With a 6-3 vote, conservative justices took the majority and upended nearly 50 years of settled precedent. The decision, however, was not met without dissent, particularly from liberal Supreme Court Justices Stephen

At least six people have died in a meningococcal disease outbreak in Florida, the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported in a press release today.

When Coco Gauff beat the oldest Williams sister at Wimbledon nearly three years ago, she became more than just a tennis star — she became a household name. Though she later lost to Simona Halep in the fourth round of the tournament, at only 15 years old, headlines were proclaiming her a “tour pro” and

It’s a simple question: is vaping bad for you? The answer, however, is a bit more complicated. Vaping, aka smoking e-cigarettes, has skyrocketed in popularity over the last few years, especially among teenagers, for whom e-cigarettes are illegal. And while overall tobacco-use numbers are down for teenagers in the US, e-cigarette smoking continues to be

And honestly, we were stumped. While we had previously discussed the pros and cons
