New Orleans: Abortion-rights advocates rally amid SCOTUS case

Abortion-rights advocates held signs in New Orleans Wednesday and cheered as they watched their counterparts rally in Washington as the U.S. Supreme Court was to hear oral arguments in a challenge to the constitutionality of a Louisiana law regulating abortion. In recent years, dozens of new restrictions have led to the closure of abortion clinics across Louisiana. Only three remain open in the state – in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport. Employees at the remaining clinics say they are fielding phone calls regularly from anxious pregnant women who call to ask if abortion is still legal and if the clinics are still open. They are open for now, and abortion remains legal in Louisiana and elsewhere in the United States, but Wednesday's Supreme Court case could lead to more clinic closures and, more fundamentally, a retreat from protecting the right to abortion that the Supreme Court first announced in 1973.

Iran Puts Kyiv 'On Notice' For Sending Drone Interceptors; Warns 'Entire Ukraine Is Now...'

Iran has warned Ukraine that by providing drone support to the United States and Israel, Kyiv has made its entire territory a legitimate military target. Ebrahim Azizi, Head of Iran's Parliamentary National Security Commission, invoked Article 51 of the UN Charter in the threat. The warning comes as Zelensky confirmed 11 countries have requested Ukraine's counter-drone expertise, with a Ukrainian team already deployed to Jordan. The US has separately sent 10,000 AI-enabled Merops interceptor drones developed through a Ukraine-based venture to the Middle East. Iran's message is clear: Ukraine's involvement in this war has consequences that may not respect the geography Zelensky has assumed.
