The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on March 26 in the case that could significantly curtail access to a prescription drug used for both abortions and miscarriage care, including in states like Minnesota where abortion is legal. The case centers on when and how patients can access mifepristone, a pharmaceutical the U.S. Food and Drug Administration originally approved in 2000. Mifepristone is currently approved for use up to 10 weeks gestation and accounts for more than half of abortions in the United States when used in combination with a second pharmaceutical called Misoprostol.

Mental health symptoms in the U.S. rose after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, according to research published in JAMA on Tuesday, suggesting broader health consequences of restricting abortion access as some states continue to roll back reproductive rights. The June 2022 decision, a draft of which was leaked in May, overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to an abortion and giving individual states the power to regulate or ban the procedure.

Maximila Imali, a top Kenyan sprinter, did not lose her eligibility to compete in the Paris Olympics because she cheated. She did not fail a doping test. She broke no rules. Instead, she is set to miss this year’s Summer Games because she was born with a rare genetic variant that results in naturally elevated levels of testosterone. And last March, track and field’s global governing body ruled that Ms. Imali’s biology gave her an unfair advantage in all events against other women, effectively barring her from international competition.
