Supreme Court ruling imperils abortion laws in many states—Associated Press, David Crary Top line: “The Texas rules struck down Monday by the Supreme Court required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and forced clinics to meet hospital-like standards for outpatient surgery.

Senate passes Puerto Rico financial rescue bill—USA Today, Nathan Bomey Top line: “The legislation — called the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act, or PROMESA — establishes a board to oversee the U.S. territory’s finances, including an orderly debt restructuring process and annual budgeting. Puerto Rico has more than $70 billion in traditional bond debt. It defaulted on debt payments multiple times — including a failure May 2 to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to financial creditors. A borrowing binge, population loss, sky-high taxes and burdensome bureaucracy have conspired to plunge Puerto Rico into an economic crisis. A failure to pay secured debts due Friday likely would have spawned a legal brawl between major financial creditors and the U.S. territory’s government.” Topic to follow: Puerto Rico 7.

The report also offers new details about why U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, one of the casualties, was at the compound in the Libyan city with only two State Department bodyguards, months after the British and others had evacuated the area.” Topic to follow: Benghazi 8.
