Mississippi’s only abortion clinic to close

Mississippi’s only abortion clinic - at the center of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision - is set to close after a state judge rejected a request to temporarily block a law banning most abortions. The next January 6th hearing, on Tuesday, will focus on "efforts to assemble that mob on the mall," a House select committee member told CBS News. And a 76 million-year-old dinosaur skeleton is expected to fetch as much as $8 million when it’s auctioned by Sotheby’s.

Next steps after Roe v. Wade overturned

The Mississippi abortion clinic at the center of the Supreme Court case that overturned Roe v. Wade says it will stay open until legislation forces it to close -- but that will come soon. Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland says states cannot ban FDA-approved abortion pills. As CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns explains, the abortion issue is taking center stage as candidates prepare for upcoming primary elections.
