In This Issue: Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, has resumed billing Medicaid for non-abortion services after nearly a year without federal reimbursements.

In This Issue: Two new studies have linked smartphones to plunging birthrates. In the U.S., the iPhone rollout in 2007 coincided with falling fertility rates, and counties with early AT&T coverage saw the sharpest declines. The most pronounced effects were among those ages 15 to 24, accounting for as much as half of the 2007–2011 drop.
