Newsom to shut Walgreens out of California state business following abortion pill decision

-- California will cease all its business with Walgreens, the retail drugstore chain, Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday, days after the company announced it would not dispense abortion medication in 21 Republican-dominated states.

Newsom's pushback came at an already fraught time for the future of medication abortion, which is used in more than half of all procedures nationwide, as a Texas judge weighs issuing a ban on Mifepristone, the first pill in a two-drug abortion regimen. Walgreens had responded to legal pressure from Republican attorneys general in 21 states -- including a handful where abortion remains legal -- in deciding to partially halt its efforts to sell the drug.

"Medication abortion is safe, effective, and serves as a lifeline for people in need of critical care, especially those from vulnerable and underserved communities," Bonta said on Friday."I am disappointed that Walgreens has decided to give in to political pressure from anti-abortion states, and cut off access to these necessary and lifesaving medications."

"Walgreens plans to dispense Mifepristone in any jurisdiction where it is legally permissible to do so," the company said. Medication abortion is legal and accessible in states like Kansas and Iowa, among others, despite opposition from top Republicans, who have threatened legal action.

Remember when he forced so many to wear a mask and was caught mask less at a restaurant while his constituents were locked down, residents even arrested for getting sun on an empty beach. He’s a powerless Twit

Newsome looks like one of the Hunger Games political characters. A powerless twit.

For what it is worth, I know not much, I will not do business with Walgreens either. Walgreens's has chosen the side of denying women's rights and I have chosen to support women’s rights and have nothing to do with Walgreens. BoycottWalgreens

I'm sure Walgreens was devastated by that statement.

Totalitarian shitbag
