Walgreens' mixed messaging on abortion pills landed it political crossfire, and its clarifications may not be enough to avoid a boycott
sent a message on Thursday to all of the other pharmacy chains in light of this news:"We'll stand with you so you can provide this lifesaving care," adding that Walgreens should"rethink their policy.
"We want to be very clear about what our position has always been: Walgreens plans to dispense Mifepristone in any jurisdiction where it is legally permissible to do so," a statement from Walgreens said, reversing its initial messaging that it would sell Mifepristone where it is"legal and operationally feasible."
"Once we are certified by the FDA, we will dispense this medication consistent with federal and state laws. Providing legally approved medications to patients is what pharmacies do, and is rooted in our commitment to the communities in which we operate," the statement concluded. Walgreens still has not released any information on which states it plans to distribute Mifepristone.
Walgreens did not respond to questions asking in which states it would sell Mifepristone. Kansas AG Kris Kobach's office also did not respond to Insider's request for comment. Subscribe to push notifications
