Walgreens has naturally decided comply with the laws in those other states. Walgreens still sells mifepristone in CA. Newsom, the governor of CA, is punishing a private company for not launching a woke political crusade in other states. Insane.

Did he decide during his vacation in baja?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 now do hobby lobby!

Good. Shame on Walgreens 😡 for supporting the GOP’s WarOnWomen. RepublicanTaliban BoycottWalgreens

Help end daylight saving time, and restore standard time

Punishing a company for following the law in those states? What a puke

DEFUND NPR...

To be fair, anyone who has ever been inside of a Walgreens knows it's trash.

Yawn.

I disagree with this just as I disagreed with Florida government punishing Disney for them disagreeing with don’t say gay law.

NY should do the same. I will stop shopping there.

BOYCOTT Walgreens!! BoycottWalgreens !!!

California is Blue. What does he expect Walgreens to do? They are attempting to respond to their communities. Unless abortion rights are codified nationally, Walgreens is being responsive, offering Californians choice. Why police Walgreens over, say, Florida's decisions.

Walgreens See my homepage plz

What “ties” does Cali have with Walgreens? Other than chasing them out of San Francisco retail because of their soft-on-crime failed policies? Gay-vin Newsom is a fucking joke.

OMG. Take away this mans power!

BoycottWalgreens Walgreens

Not surprising he's following an agenda, rather than helping his state.

I guess GavinNewsom and the left will not be saying anything about GovRonDeSantis and Disney going forward.

Same as Disney

Walgreens has already closed so many stores in CA b/c of theft….now Newsom is closing the rest b/c of abortion. To hell with the low income & elderly in CA right?

If the former POTUS can give direct federal contracts to his buddies to build the wall, the governor of a state can yank state contracts at will.

Look, I know my opinion will be the minority of opinions here but I’m glad Walgreens stopped distributing abortion pills.

God forbid they follow local state laws. How Authoritarian of California. Standard for Fidel Newsome

Lawsuit against Newsom for Extortion.

He’s gotta go.

Dont use the USPS ., hire delivery boys and give them a Wallgreens green vehicle to deliver them in.

Good.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Pretty sure it’s illegal to stop doing business with a company simply because they decided to follow laws.

Government extortion. they will have the numbers guys crunch it to see where they would lose more profit. Giving up Cali or fighting the other law suits that will be sure to come if they mail that shit out. I dont get why they gotta mail it. Thats a fed system. Hire delivery boys

i knew i loved walgreens for more than shampoo and vitamins

Walgreens Your service has been terrible but I was too lazy to switch my prescription provider. This motivated me to do it. Buh-bye

Excellent!

👍
