Celebrities have spoken up about their experiences – and Silicon Valley types learned ovaries may hold the key to long life

If you had asked 20-year-old me to explain what “perimenopause” was, I would have stared at you blankly. Honestly, I would have struggled to even tell you much about menopause. It was never a mainstream topic of conversation and studies have found most women were never educated about it. Indeed, I’m pretty sure I learned far more at school about Henry VIII’s wives than what I could expect from my own body as I got older.

Copy of opinion reinstating lower court’s order posted briefly on supreme court’s website

The US supreme court is reportedly set to rule to permit abortions in medical emergencies in Idaho, according to a report from Bloomberg, citing a copy of the opinion that was posted briefly on the supreme court’s website on Wednesday.

A majority of justices will reportedly dismiss the case as “improvidently granted”, meaning the supreme court should not have accepted the case. This dismissal would reinstate a lower court’s order that had allowed Idaho hospitals to perform abortions in cases where a woman’s health may be endangered. The state’s law currently only allows abortions when a woman’s “life” is in danger – a much higher threshold.
