The big picture: The battle over abortion access remains in some states, where anti-abortion and pro-choice advocates are engaged in a tug-of-war over the specific legalities and limits of the procedure.
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled on Friday that a ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy will take effect in three weeks.
Why it matters: The court ruled 4-3 to reverse a temporary injunction that had blocked the six-week ban's enforcement. The panel ordered a lower court "to dissolve the temporary injunction and continue with further proceedings."
It's pretty clear at this point that the latest class of Alzheimer's drugs — for all of the headlines, excitement and controversy it's caused — has limited effectiveness and potentially serious side effects, prompting researchers to look elsewhere.
Why it matters: The fact that we've found drugs with any effectiveness against Alzheimer's is a huge deal, but the hunt for the holy grail is still on.
