I've been glancing over at the SCOTUSblog. I had read some concerns about this hearing being at the same time as the opinion release and all those blockbuster cases are pending. As far a I can tell Dobbs isn't coming out today and they should be about finished with the ones they did announce. One if about bond hearings for detained non citizens and I can't tell how it came out because their live feed has conflicting info -- either you have a right to one or you don't, kind of a big differfence,

I read somewhere that in addition to his lawyer reading a statement they may use video of some of his testimony to the committee. That would take a little time to set up, I guess.

"just going into labor" is actually kind of a big event.But going into labor EARLY can definitely be an emergency. Needing a sudden C-Section is an emergency. All kinds of things can turn a birth into an emergency. Don't be quite so dismissive to a medical event that is actually quite dangerous for a lot of women.

In the US, glucose measurements are (for example) 140 mg/dL, or milligrams per deciliter. I don't know of any other example of the widespread use of deciliter in the US.
