US Supreme Court preserves wide access to the most widely used abortion pill in the country.
A unanimous court does not believe that there are legal grounds to appeal the FDA’s approval of the abortion pill mifepristone.
The agent has been approved for use in the United States since 2000 and has been used by six million people. In the past year, mifepristone was used in two-thirds of all abortions in the country.
Had HD sided with the abortion opponents, the pill could have been banned or heavily restricted even in states where abortion is legal.

The alarm first came in just before 2pm on Thursday.
– Right now it is on its way from Kvillebäcken north, and is in connection with a golf course, says August Brandt, press spokesperson for the police in the West region.
The police have engaged hunters, and the goal is that no citizen should be harmed.

The police have tried to surround the moose, but the animal is still at large.
– I have received information that the moose may have some form of injury, but that is nothing I can confirm.
In the past, among other things, the moose has moved in densely built-up areas and plastics such as Backaplan.
Update:

Thank you for the eminent Valkompisen! A very good complement. Great with such quick responses. Hope to see him again in other contexts in the future! 😀
Ninna
Thank you for testing Valkompisen! It is not at all impossible that he will receive new information in the future. Until then, you can keep asking questions about what’s happening with the EU now, here!
Can’t you be a little more specific when you say that something has happened in, for example, southern Stockholm Stockholm, be more specific about the location, you don’t understand where it is southern Stockholm Stockholm you are talking about, which area. You need to be more clear when you write.
Maya
Hey Maya! Sometimes we can’t actually print the exact location and it depends on several different things. For example, if a person has been found dead but relatives have not been helped, then we do not want to risk issuing a death notice by writing in too much detail.
A question about the nursing strike related to your article about heavily pregnant Victorija. For me, childbirth and maternity care in particular feel like extremely socially important professions. From what I understand, there are at least two things in the right to strike that should prevent such departments from going on strike? Region Skåne declares that women and children can die. Why haven’t they submitted the question to the committee that decides whether it is socially critical then? I can understand postponing planned procedures, but a woman can’t squeeze until the strike is over?!
Tessa
Hello,
Region Skåne considers the strike to be socially dangerous industrial action. They have therefore requested that the Vårdförbundet withdraw the strike notice.
