This includes Alaska, Iowa and Kansas.<\/p>\n<p>This decision was taken in response to a warning letter sent by 20 Republican attorney generals last month. They warned that the company could violate state laws if it sent out abortion pills. These state officials also sent similar letters to several other pharmacies including CVS and Walmart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a very complex and in flux area of the law, and we are taking that into account as we seek certification,&#8221; Fraser Engerman is a Walgreens spokesperson. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/03\/03\/health\/walgreens-abortion-pills.html\">The New York Times<\/a> Freitag<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/walgreens-boycott-pharmacy-wont-sell-abortion-pills-20-states-2023-3\">Business Insider<\/a> Report the words &#8220;Walgreens&#8221;  &#8220;#BoycottWalgreens&#8221; trended on Twitter as critics called on consumers to stop supporting the pharmacy \u2014 which cited tweets from one of President Joe Biden&#8217;s aides, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, and Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) \u2014 all calling on the pharmacy to reverse its decision.<\/p>\n<p>Kristi Hamrick (spokesman for Students for Life) praised Walgreens for their decision.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This response indicates that pro-life concerns are being heard and that corporations are not rushing to take over the abortion business but are proceeding cautiously,&#8221; Hamrick told Poltico.<\/p>\n<p>Walgreens has received threats from Students for Life, and others pro-life organizations such as Student&#8217;s for Life. &#8220;legal ramifications&#8221; Politico reported that the pharmacists would be required to start filling prescriptions for Abortion Pills.<\/p>\n<p>Walgreens also agreed to adhere to laws in other states that make it illegal for abortion pills to be dispensed by mail.<\/p>\n<p>Business Insider received confirmation from Walgreens that the company would still be selling abortion pills &#8220;only in those jurisdictions where it is legal and operationally feasible,&#8221; It still has plans to become an FDA-certified pharmacy in order to sell the drug.<\/p>\n<p>This year was earlier. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/22-attorneys-general-urge-fda-to-reverse-abortion-pill-decision\">22 attorneys general<\/a> Federal Drug Administration (FDA), Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf, was asked to reconsider its decision to approve retail pharmacies for dispense of abortion pills.<\/p>\n<p>In the letter, it is argued that abortion-inducing drug distribution poses a threat to women&#8217;s health.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s decision to abandon commonsense restrictions on remotely prescribing and administering abortion-inducing drugs is both illegal and dangerous,&#8221; Let the letter be read. &#8220;In direct contravention of longstanding FDA practice and congressional mandate, the FDA&#8217;s rollback of important safety restrictions ignores both women&#8217;s health and straightforward federal statutes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FDA approved Mifeprex, and the generic Mifepristone Tablets to induce abortions. Women&#8217;s health risks are reported to increase after 10 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The 1973 Constitution was rewritten in a historic manner. <em>Roe V. Wade<\/em> Last summer&#8217;s Supreme Court ruling has allowed medication-induced abortions to be sought as an alternative method of abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Guttmacher Institute says that over half of all shipments are made up by women. &#8220;facility-based abortions&#8221; These drugs are responsible for approximately 5% of all deaths in America each year.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/walgreens-wont-distribute-abortion-pill-in-21-states-spokesperson-says\">Walgreens Won&#8217;t Distribute Abortion Pill In 21 States, spokesperson says<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walgreens was the target of backlash after it announced that it will not be selling abortion pills in the states where they are legal, after almost two dozen Republican state attorneys general threatened legal action.
