What if I am given this argument at the airport check-in counter? George Dear George, The physical C.D.C. card is precisely what you’ll need to travel anywhere that requires proof of vaccination. The much-publicized reports of counterfeiting are daunting to read about, but those are in the ultra-slim minority. If your card is real, you’ll be fine at the airport. Because it’s likely you’ll be asked to show other virus-related documents and attestations while traveling, it’s important to stay on top of countries’ individual requirements.

Texas abortion ban puts spotlight on medication abortions
Before 1973, fatal "back-alley" and "coat-hanger" procedures in places where abortion was illegal became emblematic of the impact of abortion bans. But in modern times, those images have become obsolete with the use of medication abortion, advocates say. This has become especially relevant in light of Texas' new abortion law that bans the procedure as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, making it inaccessible for many across the state. "An abortion road trip is a thing of the past," said Elisa Wells, co-founder and co-director of Plan C, an abortion research and pro-abortion rights advocacy group.
