The Cut - The Abortion Clinic on the Run

While the world was reeling from the reality that the U.S. Supreme Court had actually overturned Roe v. Wade last month, Tammi Kromenaker didn’t have time to process her emotions. She was focused on something else: How much time do I have?

The answer, it turned out, was five weeks. Four days after the Dobbs ruling came down, North Dakota’s attorney general certified the state’s trigger law, officially banning abortion in North Dakota beginning July 28. For nearly 25 years, Kromenaker has worked with Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo, North Dakota, the only abortion clinic in the state, most recently as its director and owner. On July 7, Red River Women’s Clinic filed a lawsuit to keep the trigger ban from going into effect on that date, but even if successful, that will only buy the clinic a bit more time.

According to a report from StreetEasy, more than 40 percent of units available right now in Manhattan come from tenants priced out of apartments they got COVID discounts on back in 2020 and 2021. At least we’re one step closer to robots doing all our household chores in the homes we can’t afford to buy. Google is doing online jigsaw puzzles, if you’re looking for more screen-related eye strain in your life. Here are default tech settings you should turn off right away. And this Oklahoma man has eaten three final meals on death row already.
