Access to abortion pill on trial in Wednesday hearing

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:43:43 GMT

Doctors and reproductive rights advocates are bracing for a hearing on Wednesday in a court case that, if successful, could end legal access to one of two abortion pills nationwide.Abortion pills have become one of the next major fronts in the fight over reproductive health care in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Advocacy groups and legal experts said the case is unprecedented, and are preparing for a range of outcomes. At issue is access to mifepristone, a drug that blocks hormones necessary for pregnancy. Mifepristone has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2000 to induce an abortion up to 10 weeks into a pregnancy. Mifepristone has been used by more than 3 million women in the United States since receiving FDA approval, and top medical groups maintain it is safe and effective."I don't know of any other case where a party has gone to court seeking to order the FDA to withdraw a drug, no less one that was ap...

Adam Driver Crash-Lands on Earth (A Long, Long Time Ago) in 65

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:43:43 GMT

Something of an afterthought resume item for everyone involved, the new matinee programmer 65 actually stirs a weathered moviegoer’s heart: It’s short (93 minutes), it’s not a franchise or a reboot, it’s modest (if they spent a ton, you don’t see it), and it seems unabashedly targeted to fourth-graders, many of whom are still potentially fascinated with dinosaurs. This last point accounts for the scarcity of script — in fact, the movie opens with a title scroll that tells us flat out, “65 million years ago, a visitor crash-landed … on Earth.” Way to dot that i.The visitor is Adam Driver, to whom we’re introduced on the “Planet Somaris,” where he’s about to embark on an undefined two-year mission and leave his lovely wife and daughter behind. Enter “undocumented asteroid belt” and his crash on some random blue-green planet, accompanied by one surviving passenger — a surrogate daughter who doesn’t speak English (see below), played by Ariana Greenblatt — and where he struggles to survi...
