CVS and Walgreens to start selling abortion pill mifepristone this month

Publishing timestamp: 2024-03-01 12:28:52


Summary

CVS and Walgreens will start selling the abortion pill mifepristone at certain pharmacy locations in states where it is legal. The FDA has certified them to dispense the pill at their retail pharmacies, but they will not provide it by mail. This move comes as the FDA faces a legal challenge to its approval of mifepristone, and as the Biden administration seeks to protect abortion rights in the U.S.
