The drive to Bristol, Virginia, from Jacksonville, Florida, takes more than eight hours. It’s over 10 from Orlando and closer to 14 from Miami. Despite that distance, Bristol Women’s Health Center is preparing for an influx of women from Florida seeking abortions when a stricter ban kicks in next month.
For many people who otherwise would have obtained abortions in Florida, the clinic in southwest Virginia will become the closest practical option — as it already is for a swath of the South after a Florida policy change expected to resonate far beyond the state’s borders.

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Thursday night’s 109-105 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers:
– Ahead of the game, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra spoke about how it already felt like the playoffs.
– That it did.
– What it didn’t feel like was enough from Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.
