CA Governor Pledges to End Relationship with Walgreens Because They Won’t Dispense Abortion Pills in Other States

California Governor Gavin Newsom is so obsessed with abortion that he’s pledged his state would no longer do business with Walgreens following the retail giant’s announcement that they wouldn’t distribute abortion pills in 20 conservative states. Newsom likewise decried any company that “cowers to the extremists and puts women’s lives at risk.

He isn’t talking about the lives in the womb.

According to reports, “Walgreens said last week it would not dispense abortion pills in 20 states, including states where abortion remains legal, where the Republican attorneys general have warned it of risking breaking the law if it distributed the pills.

In a statement issued later on Monday to clarify its position, Walgreens said it planned to dispense abortion pill mifepristone in any jurisdiction where it was legally permissible to do so.”

Back in February, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sent a letter notifying Walgreens that sending abortion drugs in the mail violated their laws and the state would not stand for it. This letter was co-signed by 19 other AG’s. Baily would later say when questioned about this decision:

I will enforce the laws as written. That includes laws protecting the health of women and their unborn children. The FDA rule is in direct violation of federal law, and the unelected bureaucrats at the FDA have no authority to change Missouri law, either. The people’s elected representatives have spoken on the issue of abortion in our state, and we will fight to uphold that in court.”

Texas Bill Would Block Websites that Sell Abortion Pill

A new bill introduced by a Texas Republican lawmaker would require internet service providers (ISPs) in the state to block access to any website that sells or assists in obtaining abortion pills, such as mifepristone and misoprostol. The bill also makes it illegal to host or provide domain registration for such websites.

HB 2690, called the Women And Child Safety Act, was filed on February 23rd by state Rep. Steve Toth, who represents The Woodlands, a suburb of Houston. The bill condemns abortion as a “murderous act of violence” that harms women and children.

According to the bill’s text, ISPs that fail to comply with the blocking requirement would face a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day per violation. The bill also authorizes the attorney general or any district attorney to bring an action against any person who hosts or provides domain registration for a website that is “intended to assist or facilitate efforts to obtain an elective abortion or an abortion-inducing drug.”

The bill targets websites that ship abortion pills directly to women in Texas or provide information on how to obtain them online. Some of these websites include Aid Access, Hey Jane, Plan C Pills, and others.

Following strict anti-abortion laws passed by the Texas government, surgical abortions dropped from between 3-5k a month, to only nine in the last three months, all to save the life of the mother.

The bill has been referred to the House State Affairs Committee for further consideration, but it is unclear whether it has enough support to pass the Republican-controlled legislature and be signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott.
