Abu Ghraib victims wait for compensation as suits loom
The 2004 pledge by then Defense Secretary Rumsfeld to compensate Iraqi detainees for abuse at Abu Ghraib contrasts with a failure to document payments. About 30 claims remain under Army review, with no confirmed payouts. The Supreme Court considers whether civilian contractors can be sued for wartime abuse.

Abortion pill gains traction amid telemedicine debate
The FDA approved the abortion pill in 2000, now used by about 1.4 million American women. A pioneering telemedicine program in Iowa has helped 1,900 women, with remote doctors supervising the process. Proponents see privacy and access benefits, while opponents fear eased access could increase abortion numbers, especially in rural areas. The pill, 95 percent effective, works in the first nine weeks by taking mifepristone then misoprostol to induce abortion at home or under medical supervision.
