that its pharmacies won’t dispense the Mifepristone abortion pill in states where abortion is illegal and in several other states where there are minimal or no restrictions, including Alaska, Iowa, Kansas and Montana — because of the “complexity and flux of the laws.”
One might wish the chain had taken a more principled stand, such as “isn’t the killing of more than 60 million babies too many?” Or “what about the women who have been scarred for life — physically, emotionally and spiritually — by abortion and regret them?” Even so, thestatement sounds good for now, so far as it goes.
Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, and Rep. Andrew Clyde, Georgia Republican, have written the Government Accountability Office arguing that the Food and Drug Administration’s new guidance about the drug may constitute a “rule” and thus becomes subject to legislative review under the Congressional Review Act.
When I was growing up in the Washington area, one pharmacy chain was dominant. It was called Peoples Drug. It is now CVS and long ago went nationwide. In the 1950s, if anyone wanted a product that was related to sex, such as condoms, one had to approach the pharmacy counter and request them. Usually, this required teenage boys to speak to a woman, who could be relied on to offer a disapproving glance. She might have known our parents.
Today, condoms and other products related to sex are on the shelves, along with cough drops, neck braces, soft drinks and plush toys. Self-checkout has eliminated any potential embarrassment for those who are able to experience that emotion in our modern culture where “anything goes.”
