Gavin Newsom made the decision to sever a $54 million contract that Walgreens had with the Golden State after the company chose to no longer dispense mifepristone, the first of two drugs in the medication abortion process, in 20 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walgreen made the decision after receiving a letter on February 1 from GOP attorney generals in these states warning that continuing to dispense the drug may be an affront to the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe intend to be a certified pharmacy and will distribute mifepristone only in those jurisdictions where it is legal and operationally feasible,\u201d reads a statement issued by Walgreens following the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had indicated that pharmacies are allowed to dispense mifepristone directly to anyone who has a prescription from a certified prescriber.\u00a0(Related: Last spring, Walgreens published data showing that Wuhan coronavirus [Covid-19] \u201cvaccines\u201d do absolutely nothing to prevent covid infection.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newsom throws social media fit over Walgreens decision to stop dispensing baby murder drug<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second-largest pharmacy chain in the U.S. behind CVS, Walgreens stands to potentially lose a lot of profits over Newsom\u2019s guttural response to the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re done,\u201d Newsom wrote in a tweet about how \u201cCalifornia won\u2019t be doing business with @walgreens \u2013 or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women\u2019s lives at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An aggressive supporter and proponent of baby murder, Newsom simply will not tolerate any entity that does not likewise endorse his bloodlust for as many unborn children as possible to be terminated in the womb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re serious about not investing in companies that cave to the extremist agenda of the GOP,\u201d Newsom added in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spokesperson for Rite Aid, another Walgreens competitor, said the pharmacy chain will continue monitoring these developments in guiding its own decision about whether or not to continue dispensing mifepristone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRite Aid is monitoring the latest federal, state, legal and regulatory developments regarding mifepristone dispensing and we will continue to evaluate the company\u2019s ability to dispense mifepristone in accordance with those developments,\u201d company spokeswoman Catherine Carter told <em>CNN<\/em> in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever since the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn <em>Roe<\/em>, Walgreens and other entities have grappled with whether or not abortion drugs like mifepristone can still legally be sold in states where restrictions on abortions exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California is not one of those states, but Newsom appears to be letting his own personal views on the matter guide his vindictive response to Walgreens making a circumspect move to protect itself in states where abortion is now illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a lawsuit currently in the works that, if successful, would block the use of abortion medication nationwide. This means the drugs would become illegal even in California, which could send Newsom into a maniacal rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re still a company that sells Disney \u2018rainbow\u2019 Mickey plush toys to celebrate the lgbtxyz agenda,\u201d one commenter noted in response to conservative sentiment that suddenly supports Walgreens simply because of its recent decision to stop selling mifepristone, as if this was somehow done for moral reasons as opposed to just protecting the company\u2019s bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey are only doing this because they don\u2019t want to be sued.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another person wrote that Newsom is punishing Walgreens because it has \u201cdecided to abide by laws passed in conservative states.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNewsom is telling Walgreens to break the law in these states,\u201d this commenter added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More related news about the leftist love affair with abortion can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/abortions.news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Abortions.news<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sources for this article include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2023\/03\/were-done-newsom-shuts-walgreens-out-of-california-business-wont-renew-54-million-contract-over-decision-to-stop-selling-abortion-pills-in-some-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TheGatewayPundit.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalnews.com\/2022-05-03-walgreens-data-covid-jabs-dont-prevent-covid.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NaturalNews.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/03\/03\/business\/abortion-pills-mifepristone-walgreens-pharmacies\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CNN.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Natural News) Because the pharmacy chain refuses to sell drugs that kill unborn babies in some states, Walgreens has lost its contract with the state of California.
