  Reparations in a plain sense are very familiar and can be entirely justifiable. If I were to damage your car, I would be liable for the damag

  Americans concerned about the U.S. Supreme Court’s views on abortion may have been confused on Thursday when the court issued a unanimous ruling that maintained access to the abortion drug mifepristone.
