Walgreens will not sell abortion pills, even in states where the procedure is legal

[Anonymous]

They caved to threats of lawsuits from the forced birthers.

I have moved our prescriptions and they will not see a dime from us anymore.

Walgreens won't distribute abortion pills in states where Republican officials have threatened legal action — including some places where abortion is still legal and available

I can't imagine they will be financially viable in blue areas as news of this filters. I join you in not going there at all while this is in effect.

Very few of these values boycotts have worked in either direction but time will tell.

Right. Remember when chic-fil-a was done for?

This stuff won't make a dent. Convenience is king.

Same medication used to treat life threatening ectopic pregnancy. BTW. The other treatment is surgery that can destroy a tube and impair your ability to get pregnant in the future. Also used to treat early miscarriage that does not resolve on its own.

So, abortion aside, they are refusing to carry life saving medication for women.

Meh, take your point, but what if they don't want to validate these types of tactics?

yeah if you choose to have an ectopic pregnancy over a normal one, you have the choice to move to a blue state or die.

I did. I am just making others aware so they can make their choice as they see fit.

I've been thinking about switching anyhow so this actually does it for me. Time to go elsewhere.

This. Which is why the tx judge being able to pull it nationwide is horrifying

Chick FIL a did change it's donation behavior so your claim that pressure campaigns have no effect is false.

Abortion is as critical and issue as marriage equality and there is nothing special about Walgreens. Walgreens is easily replaced for many people.

I’m sure Miers signed onto this, so VA is affected. Better hope you don’t have an ectopic pregnancy in Virginia. Or lose the heartbeat on an embryo but not expel it.

So we agree the GOP is just a well organized band of religious terrorists.
