California Governor Gavin Newsom says the state will no longer do business with the Walgreens drug store chain over its position on providing abortion pills.

In November, California voters resoundingly approved a ballot measure to enshrine the right to abortion and contraception in the state constitution.

A letter dated Feb. 1 from Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to the nation's largest pharmacy-dispensing companies was co-signed by 19 other attorneys general warning that the sale of abortion pills would violate federal law and abortion laws in many states.

Walgreens confirmed in a statement to CBS News that while it was"not dispensing Mifepristone at this time," it did tell the attorneys general of 20 states that they"do not intend to dispense Mifepristone in their states.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved mifepristone in 2000 to end pregnancy when used in combination with a second drug, misoprostol. The combination is approved for use up to the 10th week of pregnancy. in Texas seeking to revoke mifepristone's approval, claiming the FDA approved the drug 23 years ago without adequate evidence of safety.

A federal judge could rule soon. If he sides with abortion opponents, mifepristone could potentially be removed from the U.S. market.

Off my biy ott list! Whoo,hoo

I’ll do more business there

How about we replace Gavin?

Given all the LOOTING in California this may be a blessing for Walgreens

What business does Walgreens conduct with CA?

He's just mad they're leaving Commiefornia. The theatrics.

In CA using quid pro quo for bribery or any other kind of misappropriation to do business is illegal.
