Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:34:46 GMT

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Mail-order access to a drug used in the most common form of abortion in the U.S. would end under a federal appeals court ruling issued Wednesday that cannot take effect until the Supreme Court weighs in.The decision by three judges on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans overturned part of a lower court ruling that would have revoked the Food and Drug Administration’s 23-year-old approval of mifepristone. But it left intact part of the ruling that would end the availability of the drug by mail, allow it to be used through only the seventh week of pregnancy rather than the 10th, and require that it be administered in the presence of a physician. 16 downtown Denver office buildings considered for housing conversions Those restrictions won’t take effect right away because the Supreme Court previously intervened to keep the drug available during the legal fight. The panel’s ruling would reverse changes the FDA made in 2016 and 2021 that eased some c...

Shocking videos released by the Steamship Authority on Wednesday shows the moment a ferry breaks loose, drifts sideways, and slams into a dock.The scary incident occurred at the Wood’s Hole Terminal on July 27, when the M/V Sankaty came loose from its berth, drifted a short distance, and came to rest at the dock of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, which is located to the north of the Authority’s terminal.It was determined that one of the vessel’s bow lines slipped off its bollard after it was berthed for the day. Due to the weather conditions, the second bow line subsequently slipped off the bollard, allowing the vessel to drift from the berth.The authority says there were no injuries and it is treated the incident as a learning opportunity.
