President Donald Trump has said the U.S. is sending a hospital ship to Greenland because people there are not getting care, but the claim faces pushback. He said in a Truth Social post Saturday that the ship is already on the way though the two U.S. ships appeared to be docking in Alabama. The Pentagon has directed questions regarding the hospital ships to the White House, which did not immediately respond. The leaders of Greenland and Denmark have defended their heath care system in response to Trump's allegations. They point out that Greenland offers free public health care, unlike the U.S.

A new report finds that the number of abortions in the U.S. grew in 2024 as more women obtained pills through telehealth. The latest WeCount project for the Society of Family Planning finds that 1 in 4 abortions uses medications prescribed by a provider who does not see the patient in person. That is up from 1 in 20 in the months before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. The number may explain why another recent study found that fewer women crossed state lines for abortion in 2024 than the year before.
