"CVS and Walgreens to Stock Controversial Abortion Pill Mifepristone"

TL;DR Summary
CVS and Walgreens will begin selling the prescription abortion pill, mifepristone, in a few states where abortion is legal, following a decision by the FDA allowing pharmacies to sell the pill. The move comes as the Supreme Court is set to weigh whether the pill could be acquired by mail without an in-person doctor visit. The two-pill regimen, which includes mifepristone and misoprostol, is recommended by the FDA to end a pregnancy and has been legal in the US since 2000. Anti-abortion groups have opposed widespread access to the pill, leading to legal challenges and a pending Supreme Court case.
