California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday withdrew a $54 million contract with Walgreens after the pharmacy giant indicated it would not sell an abortion pill by mail in some conservative-led states.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks in Sacramento, Calif. on Jan. 10, 2023.

“Walgreens is facing the same circumstances as all retail pharmacies, and no other pharmacies have said that they would approach this situation differently, so it’s unclear where this contract would not be moved,” Engerman said. “Our position has always been that, once we are certified by the FDA, Walgreens plans to dispense Mifepristone in any jurisdiction where it is legally permissible to do so, including the state of California.

After the U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned the federal right to an abortion, more than a dozen states have restricted the use of abortion pills. But those restrictions are being challenged in court.

I am proud of Walgreens for not submitting to the racist woke community. Thank heavens Walgreens.

Funny, I don't recall him being upset when companies were firing people if they didn't inject themselves with an experimental mRNA Jab. MyBodyMyChoice.

These governors are still high in Covid emergency powers. It shouldn’t be the discretion of 1 politician to decide subject an important and expensive contract. Plus it’s a contract. They have planned and expensed to provide a service. Walgreens should sue the State of CA

I will not shop at Walgreens.

'California Won't Be Doing Business With Walgreens': Experts Weigh in on Gov. Newsom's TweetThe impact on Californians who rely on Walgreens for medication could be significant. 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. What are companies supposed to do when half of the states see it one way and half the other way? What do you expect from the extremist, the left has gone bonkers.
