Earlier this year, the FDA loosened restrictions by allowing pharmacies like Walgreens to dispense the drug mifepristone after obtaining certification. To get certified, pharmacies must meet standards for shipping, tracking and confidentially storing prescription information.
"From the outset, we have made our intentions clear to become a certified pharmacy to distribute mifepristone in those jurisdictions where it is legal," said Walgreens in a statement to KTVU. Typically, the FDA’s authority to regulate prescription drug access has gone unchallenged. But more than a dozen states now have laws restricting abortion broadly — and the pills specifically — following last year’sLast month, attorneys general in 20 conservative-led states warned CVS and Walgreens in a letter that they could face legal consequences if they sell abortion pills by mail in their states.
In addition to state laws, attorneys general from conservative states have argued that shipments of mifepristone run afoul of a 19thIn response to the letter, Walgreens told officials in those GOP-led states that it would not dispense abortion pills by mail or at locations in those states, as
You're state is broke, how do you do business with anyone?
How can he do this. It’s not up to him.
Another way to try to push for government controlled everything allowing zero private owned companies that reserve the right to refuse service or sell or provide a service. Remove freedoms and we have a communist country
I voted for this guy and I regret it. An elitist obnoxious person.
Because they follow the law? What a hypocrite newsom is
Communist state
None of the State’s business doing pelvic thrusts at the private sector, business or otherwise.
Gavin wants that “Senator for Life” position in 2024. The unlimited WEALTH that position provides is just too much to pass up…
Who cares about the business of California there is nothing we can do about it anyway Like this nonsense stupid tweet Only giving us bad news But they forgot in purpose to mention the good news they're going to do even more business under the table legally
Californians need to vote that scum out
Hey GavinNewsom just checking- when you’re finished whining, there are a lot of people who need help up in Big Bear , Lake Arrowhead, etc. Get to work! Some people can’t get out & have no heat or electricity!!!
CA getting more and more restrictive and unfree by the day.
Communist!
Damn is it that deep
Sounds like coercion to me. Aid and abet killing children or else.
'We the People' will No longer do business with California.... BoycottCalifornia 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good for them.
Too bad this elitist governor doesn’t care about homelessness, fentanyl crisis and crime as much as he cares about abortions with his fake virtue signaling.
So many people are leaving your state, it won't matter. Walgreens won't sweat it.
Applaud Gavin! Women deserve rights to their bodies.
So those who use Walgreens in CA will be denied the choice of pharmacies.
Damn. Switching my prescriptions to Walgreens. They were already pulling out of California because of theft.
Congratulations
Are they referring to the morning after pill? Because that’s not an abortion pill. You have to be pregnant first to get an abortion.
Lol, Walmart is already closing stores in LIBERAL cities so I won't blame Walgreens if they did the same! See what your dem policies are doing to your state?
Legally…
Oh so now the dictators are telling what businesses must do. Get these tyrants out of office, people, they have no right to do what they're doing.
GovRonDeSantis please help us in California!!!
Poor fella
Government and special interest should not believe businesses into doing what they want. I’m still shopping there. They’re a good company.
Well,they have the right to adhere to their beliefs.
I will start supporting Walgreens now. Unfair what Newsom is doing, I don’t know why people are still voting for him.
Does anyone else wonder what business Walgreens actually does with the state of CA? Or what effect this proclamation for Newsom has on on the company?
Like he’s going to stop us from going🤣
This is what you call a dictator Newscum..need a drugstore that administers abortion pills..his kids might need a store like that in the future 👿
Walgreens Thank you.
why because walgreens is following the law?
Poor elders, where do you get your prescriptions 🙁
Such a scumbag. All because a store doesn’t want to supply a product lol
Why does the government always want it to be done as they want? Isn't this a democratic country?
Incompetence and inflated ego. He does this at a time there's a breathing Liquid albuterol shortage.... Hes made they wont give drugs to kill babies and eliminates a store offering breathing medications that saves babies, children's & adults' lives.
Ok Gavin fix your homeless problem first
The business killer on the case
There we go again why when a business or person goes against their opinion or believes stupid democrats don’t waste time in crucifying them? 🤔
Everything is on line anyway.Yes,Walgreens has that right. And a women should also have that right to choose..Thus people voted for Newsome and we are stuck with that loser..Its the state’s decision on the right to choose and the people vote for those decisions ..
How many years has Walgreens suffered losses in Ca? As an armed agent in the Tenderloin dist in SF for Walgreens as a FAST unit, watching Walgreens employees crying because not only are they hamstrung by city policy, but they are punished by Walgreens sad. Only LAC are affected
How about the state stop doing business with politicians that lie to their constituents and flaunt their elitist ideals by ig oring their own mandates while the 'peasants' suffer from their incompetence...how about that Newsom?
So Gov Nuisance is hurting people's established medical care because a company did something somewhere else that doesn't effect the state he 'governs' in the slightest...so powerful...so brave...so virtue signaling.
What is a Walgreens?
Good for you Walgreens. If they haven’t done so, hopefully CVS will follow.
No way Newsom wrote this. He is 1 coward.
I'm bringing my business andomey to Walgreens! Defund useless woke Newsom
Walgreens just tried to charge me 128$ to get a covid test at their drive through...
Wtf I love Walgreens
Walgreens doesn't care Newt
I’m not done I love Walgreens
Why not let the public know that Walgreens has suffered more thefts under Newsom than any other Governor. Newsom never has those people arrested nor does he pay for any of the theft, the consumer does. Or is that not news worthy?
California is going to the drains
Can he get Chic-fil-a to open on sundays too since he’s willing to tell businesses what to do or else…
That's what they get for not releasing footage of the crime in their stores & staying silent about it
Will now be my go to drug store for items ☺️
So what? How much business does the state do with Walgreen’s?
Walgreens CVS
Wow that’s crazy. That’s their choice so California shouldn’t be mad.
Oh no, Where is he going to get his PMS pills?
He has no right! America is based off of capitalism!!!!!! I tried to recall, Newsom, and if he runs for president, we are all in big trouble!!!!!! He is a totalitarian dictator!!!!!!! 😈
More like…. “Newsome is targeting stores like Walgreens who refuse to stay open due to burglaries and assaults…”
Newsom is a trash human being. This state will continue to be a joke as long as this clown has a position of authority.
What does done doing business mean? Gavin can’t shut them down…
Well thanks for that heads up GavinNewsom bouta go take everything I want now 😂😂😂😂
Death Merchant Gavin Newsom has over 7,000+ homicides on his watch as California Governor.
Sneaky….get the settlement from the Opiod lawsuit first before dumping them….
How exactly was the state doing business with Walgreens?
The last Death Merchant Mayor of Oakland, CA libbyschaaf had over 750 Murders, 1000's of robberies & shootings on her watch. Hey corrupt mayor Mayorshengthao what is your plan and solution?
Whatever,bay area has way less stores then we need,across all brands,
That is great!
Cancel Culture Crook
Next stop, wallgreens
Odd stance. The store chain suffered serious losses thanks to the state’s easy-on-crime policies, and now that Walgreens is facing multiple lawsuits from other states for this, Newsom doubles down. He must be getting paid by CVS
Good. Phuck Walgreens.
