Abortion, by the numbers: The U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has thrown long-established assumptions about the reproductive health and autonomy of women into doubt, particularly in states with trigger laws in place to immediately ban abortions (though Louisiana's law has been temporarily suspended). We've got a look at who will be most affected by the decision in Louisiana and why. Dubious distinction: New Orleans is on pace to easily reclaim the mantle of America's most murderous city. We've got the numbers broken down here. In case you missed it: We know you've been busy over the weekend not being busy, so here's a few from the last few days, including the return of a missing French Quarter statue, a north shore company that turns glass into sand and a look at the current squeeze home buyers have found themselves in. Also, Essence Fest closed out what appears to have been a successful return to the city.
