Mailing Abortion Pills

Walgreens responds to warning about mailing abortion pills

Dispute is over Biden's scheme to promote life-ending procedure nationwide

"Walgreens pharmacy, which recently announced it would begin distributing the abortion pill, has said that it won’t be sending the abortion pill to Kansas — thanks to a letter it received from Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach. Kobach has now also sent a similar letter to CVS pharmacy, which had also announced its intent to sell the drugs.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finalized a rule change that would allow pharmacies to become certified to dispense the abortion pill. CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid all signed on to do just that, despite the grave danger it may cause to women and teenage girls."

In Florida, however, patients are not allowed to pick up the pills at a pharmacy or have them mailed. Instead, they must schedule two appointments with a doctor at a licensed facility and obtain the two-pill protocol from the doctor. The first pill must be taken in front of the doctor.

AHCA sent an email to Florida providers to alert them about compliance, specifying that “criminal penalties” could result over violations and that the state would refer evidence to law enforcement.
