In Dobbs v. Jackson, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the half-century-old precedent that guaranteed federal abortion protections. After the controversial June decision, the matter was kicked back to the states, leading to a tangle of laws. It’s an ever-evolving landscape. Cost varies. Abortions are less expensive in the first trimester than later in the pregnancy. According to Planned Parenthood, the procedure can cost up to $750 in the first trimester, though it’s often less, and that amount climbs up to $1,500 later in the pregnancy.

Lawyer Juman Paa, in his petition, urged the SC to declare unconstitutional Manila City Ordinance 8676 series of 2020. In addition, while the case is still pending, he asked the SC to issue a restraining order against NCAP’s implementation.

Hadi Matar, 24. stabbed author Salman Rushdie at a lecture in New York on August 12. The New Jersey man accused of stabbing Salman Rushdie told the New York Post in an interview published Wednesday that he was "surprised" the author had survived the attack. "When I heard he survived, I was surprised, I guess," Hadi Matar , 24, told the tabloid, which said they held a video interview with the jailed suspect.
