California will stop doing business with Walgreens after the company decided to stop the distribution of an abortion pill by mail in 20 other states.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said California will no longer do business with Walgreens after the company decided to not distribute an abortion pill by mail in 20 other states.

"California won't be doing business with Walgreens - or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk. We're done," Newsom tweeted. Walgreens announced the decision last week to halt the distribution of mifepristone in 20 other states after anti-abortion lawmakers in those states urged them to do so.

In a statement on Monday, Walgreens said it plans to dispense mifepristone in any jurisdiction where it is legally permissible to do so.

How dare they not continue to kill black and brown babies via abortion. racism

Whatever! They don’t have to sell anything! There goes more Corporate Revnue for California

'puts Women's lives at risk' what about the child that they are killing? CA is a state with a double standard.

Despite Walgreens encountering theft issues in California they will still loose a huge part of their market share. Be interesting how this will all pan out.

So political move.

So will rite-aid be coming back?

Know what else puts women at risk? Biological males in female spaces, sports and services

Walgreens will be my choice moving forward. Thanks Newsom!

And those are the ones we want to abort. Future liberals. Walgreens fucked us.

Liberal CA that is. Not the true Californians💪🏾 Hey liberal ABC go🖕🏿yourselves

In 20 other states abortion is illegal. Walgreens is following the law. In California where abortion is legal and Walgreens is distributing an abortion pill Newsom is boycotting Walgreens. What is going on? Uncomprehending

Are Walgreens and Walmart associated with each other?

Woke policies destroying California....next up gotta kick out all the gas stations, refineries, natural gas providers, Catholic churches, ....

I'm sure wallgreens is pissed no one will be robbing their stores blind in California anymore.

Newsom is Garbage

Good for them. Walgreens is a great establishment.

LOL cvspharmacy is thinking of doing the same.

This is just ludicrous. If a pharmacy doesn’t carry what you want go somewhere else. Do you also boycott stores that don’t carry your favorite bread too?

So wallgreens biggest share holder is vanguard group,

Remember, those abortions are needed for all the collagen in your beauty products…

This is too much. You can’t target a single company for vote bank.

so california residents who do use walgreens suffer

Petty!

GN doing what he does best Evading prevalent, bigger issues in CA &making minute ones appear to be big deal so it looks like he's doing his job when hes just busy making his dynasty richer. Fornians don't flatter yourselves into thinking he cares! Tweeting is easy. Working isnt

Yo, GavinNewsom... they aren't distributing the pill in those states BECAUSE IT'S NOT LEGAL TO DO SO. What a 🤡.

Walgreens is abiding by the laws of the 20 concerned States. I suspect all other pharmacies are following the law. Newsom is just manufacturing headlines.

Wow the hypocrisy, where is the tolerance

Walgreens doesn't deserve business BECAUSE they still offer the abortion pill at all, period! babykillers Newscum unwittingly did the babies a favor.

Whats the plan? Newsom🤡 has no idea... Is he going to stop them from accepting Medicare from the pharmacy? 🤷‍♀️ I will shop there no matter what.😊

Such a women's advocate Gavin, the guy that cheated on his first wife, then picked up one of Harvey Weinsteins sloppy seconds.

Good for walgreens!

Who is California and why they making decisions like this.

How Hitler of Newsom….

Good.

Really mind-numbing position to take for the governor of a state that refuses to allow you to mail-order acetone, flow-restrictors under like 5GPM, fur, certain knives, car parts, etc.

Newson said to comply, or they won't have business in California

Such Bullshit! Newsom needs to go!!

Are condoms not sold there? Is birth control not a thing anymore? No one cares about STD's and HIV? Safe sex needs to be taught and discussed more.

Seems illogical to attack Walgreens for making a choice when you’re pushing pro choice.

Sounds like Newsom and his Leftist buddies really want to kill the unborn

Why is he tweeting it anyway😫😂💀this world sucks.

Dude lies all the time just like he lied about that damn gas tax rebate! I don't believe anything these people say!!!

Who does this guy thank he is the king a something

Buy shares in Walmart and CVS now!

Now I will go out of my way to shop at Walgreens 🤓👍

I’m still going to shop at Walgreens regardless what that fool says

…all the hell that Jesus character creates - god damn 😂😂😂

Walgreens should shutter all business in Sacramento

Popping plan Bs like tictacs

Where the hell are Californian men supposed to buy their tampons now

Guess I’ll be shopping at Walgreens even more now

This just in : the abortion pill will now be distributed on every other street corner in California cities along with the popular drug Fentanyl

The people won’t. No matter what you say pretty boy.

I love my home state. Progressive and operates like an independent country.

Crying about Democracy while acting like a dictator. Why can’t differences of opinion exist? These people have tried to cancel In N Out, Chik Fil A, now Walgreens. These attempts hint towards the end of a true Democracy. hypocrisy

So they are only pulling in states were it’s illegal. Ok. So in CA it’s legal. So why punish the thousands of stores in CA. He’s a fool. Must be getting paid by CVs

I wish we could stop doing business with newsome

GavinNewsom you’re a clown 🤡 for this. failedpolitician

That’s stupid. Let market economics take care of this. People have no idea how dangerous this is.

GavinNewsom once again worrying about LL the wrong things. Criminals running wild through the streets and yet he is worried about killing babies...

So Walgreens will sell the pill in CA. It won’t sell it in states where it is not legally allowed to do so and newsom will stop doing business with them in CA. If Walgreens leaves CA won’t that prevent people from getting the pill in CA.

Nothing like bog govt controlling private business. Sounds very 1940’s Nazi playbook to me. But then again it is Comrade Newsom

I wonder why nobody wants to have a business in CA anymore? When you have a governor target a company because of what they sell (by the way, there is nothing illegal being done by Walgreens) then we all need to be nervous. I live here so I'm very nervous. Gavin is an AUTHORITIAN

Is Newsom going full COMMIE saying our state won't do business with a company? I'm sorry is it 2023?

Absurd!!!

So, no change in business at Walgreens then. I wish CAgovernor would detail what business he means to stop with them

How many people have left CA GavinNewsom ? 🤡🤡🤡

Running more businesses out of the state.

To break it down, what he's implying is that the state government will not work with Walgreens, won't use their services, won't offer contracts, and will not cater to their interests. This does NOT mean they're kicking Walgreens out of California.

When? What will that look like? For clarification his office said he will stop pursuing business with Walgreens which, like the other thing he said, is pretty meaningless.

I don't base my shopping on whether a business follows my beliefs, including the abortion pill. If a business owner gambles or cheats on his wife, should i boycott that business too?

Guess Walgreens has no freedom of choice of what to distribute or not. It's not as if people can't go to other drug stores/pharmacies to get it.

When will Newsome tell them to get out? Can he do that? Seems fishy to me.

I won’t.

I DON'T AGREE WITH NEWSOM! Mail order abortion puts girls', womens lives at risk!! If a girl, or woman needs a 'day after pill' or any drug to cause an abortion it should be done with a doctor's supervision!!

His mental castration is complete. The promiscuity and irresponsibility 'governor' Morally and ethically bankrupt just like the voters there.

Walgreens is my store then

The comments on this thread just show how disgusting MOST of you are! Your thought process is just sad!

How does Newsom have the power to make such a decree? And if you don't agree with Walgreen's values, go to CVS? When did we become a communist state? F' Newsom.

👍👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wait till CVS and the rest follow suit. Then what?

Lol okay 'big guy'

bc they're follow the others state's laws? if they didn't they would get fined and/sued. Newsom needs to be reminded of civics, but he's a tyrant so what does it matter.

What does that mean that California will stop doing business with Walgreens? I have one down the street from my house that I use.

F’ newsom! I don’t even need anything…but, I’ll go by Walgreens today n make a purchase!!

GavinNewsom

Baby killer

Watch Walgreens stock pop over the next cycle 😂😂

'Stop doing business'... what does that mean? Another vague virtue signal that has no value.

You don't speak for me.

Newsome got re-elected in recall election with 60 plus percent of vote so he is following the will of the voters of the great state of California

👏🏽

Lol newsom needs to get a life!

You guys don't even hide it..it's profit not safety..newsome is the evil that is ruining this state

4 sentences and it's a report? Journalism died.

So this guy(governor)...want to speak for all CA...he's wasted

Bravo!

They were already closing due to theft, stop piggybacking & trying to create a convenient narrative for Gewsom

What does GavinNewsom mean by this? How can one person DICTATE who the State will do business with? The Governor just relinquished his emergency powers so he can no longer govern by fiat. Will he ban Walgreens from participating in Medi-Cal services?

Doesnt really affect San Francisco as crime and shoplifiting has driven them all out already

Guess where I am at a Walgreens GavinNewsom you are evil. Saving babies is not extreme but moral. You evil person!

I hate politics

Good riddance! If you don’t support killing black babies, get out of California!!!

riteaid has great ice cream.. one more reason not to walk into a Walgreens.

Me too

What kind of business does it do or did?

What happened to private business can operate how they see fit

If nothing else we got to appreciate our governor that he sticks to his convictions and I will vote for him again

California being California

One step closer to the communism he and aunt Nancy want so badly….

More reasons people will buy from Walgreens

Walgreens you’re better than cvspharmacy & riteaid

It's because of looting and theft approved by the GavinNewsom

Good!!

Everyone!!!!! Shop at Walgreen's!!!!

Funny they actually did this to ship all the pills to California. They can't keep stock because everyone jacks them

cvs=walmart walgreens =target

cmarinucci I didn’t hear him do anything about all the thefts at Walgreens

Shame on you Mister New.

Aren’t there other locations that can supply. Who cares man. Move on

Time to pass around this flier:

That’ll teach the single mom working the register at Walgreens yaaaaaaasss

I don’t advocate for abortion and I also don’t have a right to force my feelings on women who do. Thanks Newsom.

Good!!! GavinNewsom !! PPAWI PPact wmnsmarchla Women4Biden AppleNews AP NPR

Me too!

Thank you Walgreens

California sucks. Homeless is at an all time high and this is what the governor focuses on.

So Walgreens willp robably pull out of California, close hundreds of stores,thousands will lose jobs. Great job commifornia!

Such BS. How much business does CA do with Walgreens anyway? Is he was serious he'd lock up anyone shopping at Walgreens who was a California resident.

Switching to Walgreens

Walgreens is pulling out of CA because of crime and theft anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Goodbye Walgreens Now get out of California.

Thank you Newsome for having women's backs. It seems like these states shutting out the population. If women got together and said enough. We are not having babies until this sh*t is stopped.

Gavin Newspmhas the say in that?

So Walgreens is being punished by CA for following the law? They still sell it in states where it’s legal. They don’t in states where it’s not. They only “decided” to obey the law.

Lol….it’s okay Walgreens. Although this Governor doesn’t embrace your differences in belief and values, the people of California will.

And I will too stop giving Walgreens my business! Fok you Walgreens 🖕!

Walgreens WAGSocialCare WalgreensNews good job guys…cutting off your nose…courageous leadership. 🤦🏼‍♂️

From the article: “In a statement on Monday, Walgreens said it plans to dispense mifepristone in any jurisdiction where it is legally permissible to do so.”

60 million aborted children since Roe. Some 2,000 a day of mostly black babies. Guess black lives don't matter after all. Why doesn't newsom want more black babies to be born?

Going to make Walgreens my drugstore of choice over CVS. Thanks Newscum.

It was because they stopped distributing in states where it’s still legal.

Thank u governor 💯

CVS WINS
