At least two women's deaths have been officially found "preventable" after they couldn’t access legal abortions in their state and timely medical care, ProPublica has found. There are almost certainly others. propublica.org/article/georg…

Jacques Delors, who has died at 98, pushed for an EU in which people, goods and capital could flow across borders — and for a shared social safety net centered in Brussels, a vision that Margaret Thatcher opposed. My obituary for @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

Jacques Delors, key architect of the European Union, dies at 98

As president of the European Commission, he helped fulfill the vision of a single E.U. market and currency.
