SCOTUS makes rulings on abortion, opioids

The Supreme Court made a pair of key rulings Thursday, including one on the Idaho abortion ban that was mistakenly released a day earlier. The high court allowed emergency abortions to continue in Idaho, marking a temporary victory for abortion rights advocates. In a separate case, the Supreme Court overturned a landmark settlement involving Purdue Pharma, marking a setback for efforts to resolve claims related to the opioid crisis.
