Republicans push to reinstate North Carolina's 20-week abortion ban
Republican lawmakers in the North Carolina General Assembly are calling on a federal judge to reinstate North Carolina's 20-week abortion ban. It's the latest decision from conservatives to restrict abortion access in North Carolina, which is one of the only states in the South to allow abortion. Meanwhile, Democrats have pledged to fight for women's right to choose. Tradesha Woodard will have the latest on the motion to reinstate the ban and what could be next ahead of midterm elections. A Charlotte mother filed a lawsuit against Abbott, the maker of Similac baby formula, saying the company misled parents and doctors that its products are safe for premature babies. The lawsuit comes after the woman's daughter died after drinking a cow-based formula, which led to a deadly condition in premature babies. Richard DeVayne has the details on the lawsuit and why attorneys in the case say Abbott's comments against the lawsuit don't add up. Plus, if you're still unable to smell after having COVID-19, you're not alone. In fact, new research shows roughly 27 million people haven't regained their senses despite an otherwise full recovery. Ben Thompson connects the dots on the long-term impacts of losing your sense of smell and why you shouldn't panic just yet.
