Summary
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state will no longer do business with Walgreens after the company said it would not sell the abortion pill in 21 states due to legal restrictions. Walgreens plans to become certified to sell the pill where it is legal to do so under state and federal law. The FDA has eased restrictions on the pill over the years, but patients still need a prescription from a certified health-care provider.
