California is terminating a $54 million contract with Walgreens after reports revealed that the company has caved to pressure from far right politicians and restricted the sale of abortion medication, even in states where the pills are legal.

and sparked boycotts. Advocates say that the move is illustrative of the way that abortion bans can impact access even in states where the procedure is legal, and of Republicans’ willingness to use their power to impose their extremist anti-abortion views.

Walgreens has claimed that it is only doing what other retail pharmacies are doing, and that it is planning to distribute the abortion drug mifepristone wherever it is legal to do so. However, this statement contradicts their letter sent to assuage Republican lawmakers, which assured them that the company wouldn’t distribute mifepristone in states where abortion drugs are currently legal.

Newsom said on Wednesday that the company’s refutation only strengthened his resolve, and emphasized the state’s strong position on abortion.. “And likely, when the dust settles, we’ll be the fourth largest economy in the world. So, we have, we believe, moral authority, but we also have formal authority and will exercise it in partnership with the Legislature, and in the absence of that, through executive action.

At the same time, the state is a big player as a buyer of pharmaceuticals, which could have an economic impact on Walgreens. Clown 🤡 It's sad that we have to politicize medicine and business.
