2. A polarizing issue reached a head on Friday, as the Supreme Court released the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson. Johns Creek native and pro-life activist Cindy Purcell supported the decision. Today, she works with women who have had an abortion to work through their grief after the procedure. Others, including Kenyette Barnes, spoke against the decision. She believes that the ruling will negatively impact women, including and especially Black women. Read about the decision and more thoughts on it at the link.

3. A pavilion and restroom at Autrey Mill have been completed by the Public Works Department. The facilities at the north end of the property were placed near Warsaw Church. The $393,000 project is part of $750,000 set aside to make improvements at the nature preserve. The historic Warsaw Church did not have a restroom inside, so it was an excellent location, according to parkgoers. (Subscription: The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
