Good Wednesday morning. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today.

• The Supreme Court on Tuesday sidestepped part of a case that could have tested the constitutional right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade, turning down an appeal to reinstate a strict Indiana abortion law. But the court, in an apparent compromise, upheld part of the same law requiring abortion providers to bury or cremate fetal remains.

• A fight with state authorities could lead Missouri to become the first state without access to abortion services in nearly 50 years.

• Taking a cue from the Voting Rights Act, Senator Kamala Harris will call for states with a history of flouting abortion rights to clear new abortion laws with the Justice Department.
