Access to abortion pill on trial in Wednesday hearing

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:38:15 GMT

Doctors and reproductive rights advocates are bracing for a hearing on Wednesday in a court case that, if successful, could end legal access to one of two abortion pills nationwide.Abortion pills have become one of the next major fronts in the fight over reproductive health care in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Advocacy groups and legal experts said the case is unprecedented, and are preparing for a range of outcomes. At issue is access to mifepristone, a drug that blocks hormones necessary for pregnancy. Mifepristone has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2000 to induce an abortion up to 10 weeks into a pregnancy. Mifepristone has been used by more than 3 million women in the United States since receiving FDA approval, and top medical groups maintain it is safe and effective."I don't know of any other case where a party has gone to court seeking to order the FDA to withdraw a drug, no less one that was ap...

Adam Driver Crash-Lands on Earth (A Long, Long Time Ago) in 65

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:38:15 GMT

Something of an afterthought resume item for everyone involved, the new matinee programmer 65 actually stirs a weathered moviegoer’s heart: It’s short (93 minutes), it’s not a franchise or a reboot, it’s modest (if they spent a ton, you don’t see it), and it seems unabashedly targeted to fourth-graders, many of whom are still potentially fascinated with dinosaurs. This last point accounts for the scarcity of script — in fact, the movie opens with a title scroll that tells us flat out, “65 million years ago, a visitor crash-landed … on Earth.” Way to dot that i.The visitor is Adam Driver, to whom we’re introduced on the “Planet Somaris,” where he’s about to embark on an undefined two-year mission and leave his lovely wife and daughter behind. Enter “undocumented asteroid belt” and his crash on some random blue-green planet, accompanied by one surviving passenger — a surrogate daughter who doesn’t speak English (see below), played by Ariana Greenblatt — and where he struggles to survi...

Read more Letters to the Editor.$1M for canceled bookan outrage to taxpayersRe: “Writer to keep $1M in spite of plagiarism” (Page B1, March 14).Outrageous. Jean McCorquodale was knowingly unqualified for the job; she is not a professional historian, and writing grants wouldn’t have made her familiar with the county’s history.The county secretly gave her taxpayers’ money by avoiding the normally required bidding process. The $1 million fee was absurdly high; as one historian said, every real historian in the area would have jumped at the fee. She plagiarized about 20% of the book.The excuse for not suing her to recover the money — that it could “hypothetically” cost more than her fee — is troubling. Contracts of this size routinely provide that the loser in any dispute pays the winner’s attorneys’ fees. If this contract doesn’t, that’s another stain on the County.My guess is that the real reason for not suing is that the Cou...

Here’s how San Jose’s mayor wants to spend next year’s budget

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:38:15 GMT

Two and a half months after becoming mayor of America’s 10th-largest city, Matt Mahan unveiled a detailed look into how he intends to spend this coming year’s budget, heavily focusing on public safety, blight and homelessness.The mayor’s proposals, however, face a slew of potential fiscal obstacles: the possibility of a recession combined with a tech sector that has recently taken a beating with Silicon Valley Bank’s swift closure, the winding down of federal stimulus money from the pandemic and a tax base that has traditionally been smaller than comparable cities. Compared to the 2022-23 $5.3 billion budget, San Jose is expected to see a nearly $30 million surplus in the next fiscal year, though the excess dollars could dramatically slow down in the not-so-distant future, according to an analysis by the city manager’s office.Mahan must also overcome these hurdles amid a difficult political environment as he sits on a council with few allies and a narro...
