"Major US Drugstores to Sell Abortion Pills, Changing Access Nationwide"

Retail pharmacies owned by Walgreens and CVS will begin dispensing mifepristone, a key drug used in medication abortions, following the FDA's removal of the in-person dispensing requirement. This change provides a crucial second option for people seeking an abortion and may improve long-term abortion access. The move aims to increase the number of mifepristone prescribers and make the drug more accessible, potentially benefiting patients seeking abortions and those needing the drug for off-label uses such as preventing complications of miscarriage.
