there was this collective sense of legal limbo this morning and the clock is ticking. the justices have until midnight wednesday to rule on that abortion pill matter. the case -- the question they're facing is somewhat narrow here. the court has to decide if mifepristone, the abortion pill, will be allowed to be available in its current form while the larger court case about the drug's approval by the fda plays out in federal court. on friday, justice samuel alito side of the drug can briefly stay available while he and the other justices make up their minds on that question and the consequences here are stark. abortion rights advocates estimate what's referred to as medication abortion makes up more than half of u.s. abortions him at least four democrat-let states have already begun to stockpile abortion medications, bracing for the court's ruling at all of this is turning national attention right back onto the supreme court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority you will remember and overturn roe v. wade less than a year ago. there were protests in front of

the supreme court and across the country yesterday ahead of this ruling in the matter what happens with the abortion pill access availability ruling, that overall case, the larger federal case into the fda's approval of mifepristone, that is expected to continue to drag on for weeks and any ultimate decision there would likely be appealed right back here potentially to the supreme court. >> i know you're looking to other big issues on the supreme court plate this week, what are you seeing there? >> yeah, the justices are going to hear a case into religious accommodations at the workplace, which could have applications for workplaces across the country. there's also a free-speech case they will hear into facebook messages sent by a convicted stocker and they have some big decisions to make too into issues like voting rights and affirmative action, but those decisions aren't expected until closer toward the summer. >> a big week at the supremecourt. jay o'brien, thank you. overseas now and the warning for americans in sudan to shelter in

software. you don't need to provide a reason why and there's no penalty to file an extension. and this will give you until october 16th to file your tax return, but not paying on time or enough or failing to file altogether can cost you. the irs will charge you interest on the unpaid balance until you pay the full amount and it is important to note that an extension to file is not an extension to pay so if you owe the irs money, used only to pay by the deadline. the irs says a good rule of thumb, estimate what you owe by using your previous year's taxes as a guide, maybe add a little bit extra to pad it. if you pa too much you'll get a refund of course. too little, don't worry, they'll send you a bill. >> important reminders about that extension. for those who may have put off filing because they know they'll have a bill, any last-minute suggestions to try to reduce that liability? >> absolutely, it's not too late to make a tax-deductible donation to your ira, you have until tuesday, april 18th to do that. it will not only reduce your tax bill, it will boost your

retirement savings. be sure to proofread your returns to catch any costly mistakes as well. >> okay, so is there anything different this year compared to previous years when it comes to filing and for those expecting a refund, because lots of americans are looking forward to seeing that money? when could they? >> those refunds are running about 11% lower this year because those pandemic era tax breaks have expired, things like the expanded child tax credit and earned income tax credit. the typical refund averaging just under $3,000. the irs says you should see that check in about 21 days, sooner if you signed up for direct deposit. you can track the status of your refund at the irs's website. out for what to do with that refund, before you go out and splurge on a new tv or a vacation, experts recommend using that money to pay down debt, especially credit card debt since the average credit card interest rate now tops 20%. fico and with gas prices and food prices, that average refund of $3,000 could really help. alexis, thank you. we will be right back with our play of the day.
