My STAT colleagues have the stories to keep you (and me) up to date: Questions asked, questions dodged: STAT’s Olivia Goldhill and Meghana Keshavan live-blogged an FDA advisory committee meeting on MDMA. Regulators discussed how they would manage risk in the treatment, and things got a little intense discussing race, sex, comorbidities, and more. This is the first new PTSD treatment to go up for review in 25 years — but at the end of the day, committee members voted overwhelmingly against the therapy. The agency will use the feedback to decide by Aug. 11 if it will get approval.

The committee is not scheduled to look at any reproductive legislation right now, but the Supreme Court will likely release two decisions related to abortion this month: one on the medication mifepristone, and another on whether abortion can be considered emergency care.
