AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A pregnant Texas woman who sought court permission for an abortion in an unprecedented challenge to one of the most restrictive bans in the U.S. has left the state to obtain the procedure, her attorneys said Monday.The announcement came as Kate Cox, 31, was awaiting a ruling from the Texas Supreme Court over whether she could legally obtain an abortion under narrow exceptions to the state’s ban.

Nina Metz | Chicago TribuneRare is the reboot that captures the magic of the original. But sometimes it’s nice to catch up with familiar characters years later, and the TV movie “Mr. Monk’s Last Case” (on Peacock) is one such opportunity, with Tony Shalhoub returning as the obsessive-compulsive crime solver he played on “Monk,” the USA series that ran for eight seasons from 2002 to 2009.Monk’s germaphobia has always been central.
