Abortion Ruling: The U.S. Supreme Court issued a new ruling regarding Indiana’s abortion law, and some are calling it a compromise. The Supreme Court decided to allow the part of the law that says fetal remains must be buried or cremated, but the ruling does not allow a ban on abortions based on the fetus' gender, race or disability. This case has been watched closely since several states have recently passed abortion bans that are also expected to be challenged in court.

Abortion Laws Cont'd: Missouri could become the first state in the nation without an abortion clinic.

TSA CBD Policy: TSA just updated its medical marijuana guidelines to allow passengers to bring some types of hemp-derived CBD on planes. The updated policy is based on the FDA’s approval of a children’s epilepsy drug that has CBD oil in it. It’s the first time TSA has given the green light to bring any CBD on board, but it’s not a free pass to bring marijuana. Approved items still cannot have THC, which is the chemical in marijuana that gets you high.

The leak could mean the phone will be available soon.
