1. bickering: (상습적인) 말다툼, 언쟁

-> It's really like two best friends bickering.

 

2. blatant: 노골적인, 뻔한

-> Abotion providers filed an emergency application, hoping SCOTUS would block the law - which President Biden said "blatantly violates" the Roe v Wade precedent.

-> The three liberal justices dissented, along with(-와 마찬가지로) Chief Justice John Roberts.

5. In Texas, abortion providers - who worked up until the deadline to help dozens of patients - are turning people away.

 

6. plaintiff: (민사 소송의) 원고, 고소인(-> defendant)

-> And plaintiffs could win at least $10,000 for every successful lawsuit.

 

7. constitutionality: 합헌성

-> SCOTUS didn't weigh in on the law's constitutionality.

 

8. Abortion advocates have vowed to continue to fight, calling on supporters to phone their representatives to stand against abortion bans.

 

9. The Supreme Court's decision is a major win for anti-abortion advocates, who've been trying to chip away at Roe v Wade.

 

10. Now, eyes are on whether Dems in Congress will spring into action to save women's rights - and whether that starts by abolishing the filibuster or packing the court(법정을 가득 메우다).

 

11. Yesterday, the company accused of fueling the opiod epidemic was dissolved after a judge conditionally approved a wide-ranging bankruptcy settlement.

 

12. But critics say it comes with a huge catch - some legal immunity. (Meaning: The Sacklers, aka the owners of Purdue Pharma, will be shielded from future opioid - related lawsuits.)

 

13. And as many developing nations can't even get their hands on doses.
