On this West Virginia Morning, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court ruling that West Virginia can limit the sale of abortion medications – even those medications that the FDA has deemed to be safe and effective. The case involved mifepristone, which is often used to terminate a pregnancy.
Plus, as hunger activists and those who work to provide food for low income people brace for cuts to SNAP benefits, the head of a Huntington-based foodbank details how the cuts may affect thousands of Appalachians.
