"CVS and Walgreens to Offer Mifepristone Abortion Pill"
TL;DR Summary
CVS and Walgreens have received federal certification to dispense mifepristone, a medication used in abortions, in states where it is legal. CVS will start in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with plans to expand, while Walgreens will begin in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, California, and Illinois. This move expands access to abortion as many states are tightening restrictions. The FDA's rule change now allows pharmacies to fill prescriptions for abortion pills, and President Biden has called it an important milestone in ensuring access to mifepristone.
