About this episode
The episode discusses the temporary restoration of mail access to mifepristone and the implications for abortion access, alongside the shutdown of Spirit Airlines and its impact.
On Monday, the Supreme Court temporarily restored mail access to the abortion pill mifepristone. It puts aside a lower court ruling in Louisiana on Friday that ended national telemedicine access to the pill. Dr. Veronica Gillispie-Bell, an OB-GYN based in New Orleans, explains what this means for nationwide abortion access. And, after talks for a government bailout fell through, Spirit Airlines shut down on Saturday morning. CNBC’s Leslie Josephs details the ramifications for Spirit's customers, employees and equipment.
