Medication abortion is common; here’s how it works
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 Medication abortions became the preferred method for ending pregnancy in the U.S. even before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Scammers Are Trying to Cash In On Hurricane Harvey
Where there’s a crisis , there are crooks. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey , fraudsters are trying to rip cash from unsuspecting victims using phishing emails, and opportunists have created a slew of dodgy domains, too. The tricks, as ever, rely more on human desires to help rather than any sort of technical mastery on the criminals’ behalf. Regardless, the scams come as a reminder that, as ever, hackers often use current events as a way to get closer to their targets. “Help people affected by Hurricane Harvey, donate now and God bless you,” one scam email reads. Stephen Burke, founder of security firm CyberRiskAware, shared this and another Harvey-related email with The Daily Beast.

Bezos’ Latest Project Could Be a Pain in the Ass for Renters
From the outside, it is a remarkably plain three-bedroom home in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Nicknamed “ The Peanut ,” it is 15 years old, fronted with brick, and within shouting distance of the Tuscaloosa Nazarene Church. If that house of prayer isn’t of interest, there are at least another 19 within 4 miles. The Peanut is notable because of its owners—all 251 of them. Together, they pooled their funds this year to buy, and then rent, the $215,000 property, putting in as little as $100 apiece. The deal was facilitated by Arrived Homes, a startup that has raised more than $160 million in funding and debt financing, including two infusions from Jeff Bezos ’ personal investment arm, Bezos Expeditions, and at least one from Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and Salesforce billionaire Marc Benioff’s investment fund.
