fbi records check to prove that he wasn t a convicted felon. kentucky is known as to have some of the least restrictive. gun laws in the entire country. when it comes to that front, and we ve reached out to the family attorney on some of the slaves reporting in regards to the notes, and we haven t heard back, but the family has said that they are testing or want to test the shooter s body for cte , which, as we know, can have symptoms of loss of control of aggression. things of that nature, sarah yeah, and we had learned that he had a concussion. at some point. i do want to ask you about the laws and kentucky because one of those laws mandates that the rifle used by the shooter to kill all those people has to be sold at a public auction for that gun would be out there and someone else s hands. is the shooter s family doing anything about this. well for starters that that law was something that public officials on the ground there were making a point to highlight because there was
hurt, and pelham was later arrested. sarah. any moment. major supreme court decision on the fate of widely used abortion pill could drop the justices setting a deadline of midnight tonight to reveal whether or not the high court will uphold and appeals court ruling that would severely restrict access to mifepristone, cnn s supreme court analyst joan biskupic is joining us now, joan, how quickly could a ruling have an impact on the availability of this drug? good morning, sarah. it would be it could be almost immediate. i just want to make sure everyone knows that. whatever happens today at the supreme court, it s not going to remove the drug from the market outright. it would. it could change the availability of it in terms of when women could access the drug, for example, at 10 weeks of pregnancy as they can now or back to seven weeks of pregnancy and whether they would be able to get it by mail, for example, or have to pick it up
the lower court orders that actually restricted access to the drug. so i think you know if they did it in a clean way, at this point, very early stage of this controversy, the merits of the case have not been heard about fda authorization for the drug. if they were to just put everything on hold. let the litigation play out. nothing would change. for women and physicians for access to the drug, but if they denied the biden administration s request immediately, certain restrictions would go into place and that would be in terms of the timing of when a woman could obtain it in a pregnancy and other rules for availability, but it would remain on the shelves sarah and the case would continue to play out. the next stage will be a hearing in a lower court in may. but this first crucial step by the nine justices who last waiting on abortion to cut back abortion rights is quite anticipated. sarah and i think you hit the nail on the head. and you said
something that they thought was ridiculous. now this law essentially yes. as you mentioned or weapon confiscated by law enforcement would then be sent to auction with the proceeds, then going back to law enforcement, but people would have the opportunity to auction on this gun. so the shooter s family has said that they are working with law enforcement to have this gun legally. destroyed so that it is not back out on the streets, which is one of the fears that mayor craig greenberg and louisville had mentioned in the immediate aftermath of this that he feared that that would be the cycle that we would see here. the has confirmed that they are in possession of the weapon as evidence and will wait next steps. but obviously the shooter s family does not want this to go through the process that is typically seen in a place like louisville. wow thank you for all that omar jimenez. life for us on that story were held. and sarah just under two hours from now three men who carry tiki torches i
in person. so that was are the kinds of restrictions at this point. point of the game that are at stake. as we speak, sarah . the justices right now are about to gather in their private conference room to handle a lot of the week s business that they have to decide relative to cases and this no doubt will be part of what they re looking at trying to finalize what their orders should be. this is a court that just 10 months ago rolled back all constitutional protection for abortion rights, but said it was leaving the matter to the states. it decidedly was not outlawing abortion nationwide and a key part of abortion nationwide is access to medication abortion, which is the way most women and pregnancies if they need to end them at early stages, so you know this is a medication abortion. sarah is the new chapter of the abortion wars in america. what could they do today? alright basically there to clear cut options. one is to grant the biden administrations respect request for a pause in
