Abortion

 NPR - The number of abortions is actually up across the U.S., NPR’s Elissa Nadworny tells Up First. While access is a lot more limited in some states, Nadworny says there’s been a major rise in the use of telehealth, making it easier for doctors to prescribe and send abortion pills through the mail. Even people in states with strict abortion restrictions like Texas or Mississippi can legally access pills from providers in places like Massachusetts and New York. She adds the big thing she's following is how abortion could be on the ballot this fall in as many as 10 states. Here's where voters will decide. She’s also waiting on the latest Supreme Court decision expected as early as this week about access to abortions in emergency room situations.
