☆ At least 66 clinics in 15 states have stopped providing abortions since Dobbs, analysis finds

At least 66 clinics in 15 states have stopped providing abortions since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, according to a new analysis from the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights research organization. The analysis notes that those states had 79 total clinics that provided abortions before the Dobbs decision, compared with 13 today. All of the remaining open clinics are in Georgia, where a law prohibits abortions once a "detectable human heartbeat is present." The most closings were in Texas, where at least a dozen clinics shuttered, the Guttmacher analysis says. Planned Parenthood also provides STD testing, pregnancy testing, transgender hormone therapy and primary care services, according to its website.
☆ 'Out of control' STD situation prompts call for changes

“It is imperative that we ... work to rebuild, innovate, and expand (STD) prevention in the U.S.,” said Dr. Leandro Mena of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a speech Monday at a medical conference on sexually transmitted diseases. Last year the rate of syphilis cases reached its highest since 1991 and the total number of cases hit its highest since 1948. Annual congenital syphilis cases numbered only about 300 a decade ago; they surged to nearly 2,700 last year. But some experts say the government needs to provide more funding for STD work, not divert it. Mena, who last year became director of the CDC’s Division of STD Prevention, called for reducing stigma, broadening screening and treatment services, and supporting the development and accessibility of at-home testing.
☆ Short-term disability insurance can replace up to 80% of your salary, but experts say it's usually not enough

Supplement short-term disability coverage with an individual long-term disability policy. California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Puerto Rico require employers to offer a form of short-term disability insurance. Employer-provided short-term disability insurance may be offered as part of your benefits package at little or no cost. The short-term disability insurance you get through work can replace up to 80% of your gross income, but is usually less — around 50-60%. Short-term disability vs. long-term disability insuranceDon't assume your employer-sponsored short-term disability insurance policy is enough to replace your income.
