Three years ago, the emergency declaration enabled certain tools for fighting the pandemic and protecting Americans. Now that it’s expiring, here’s what is changing — and what’s not.

In many states that ban abortion, there’s an exception for life threatening emergencies. But how do hospitals decide what situations qualify? Researchers set out to find out.

When she gave birth to her baby with a fatal condition two months early, Samantha Casiano scrambled to raise funds for the funeral. Anti-abortion advocates say Texas laws are “working as designed.”

After years of high rates, the country hit a new high during the pandemic, far exceeding rates in other developed nations. Black women are at especially high risk.

It’s the last weekend for Obamacare open enrollment, and nearly 16 million Americans have signed up for a health insurance plan.

State law at the time prohibited abortion after around 6 weeks. Legal experts say this kind of law leaves doctors uncertain of what’s legal and can put patients in dangerous situations.
