California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom says his state will no longer do business with Walgreens Boots Alliance following the retail-online pharmacy's decision not to sell and mail out an abortion pill in more than a dozen states.
"California won’t be doing business with Walgreens or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women’s lives at risk," Newsom tweeted Monday. "We’re done."
As of Tuesday morning, the implications of Newsom's edict remained unclear.
Walgreens made the decision to stop selling the pill mifepristone after a group of attorneys general sent the company and competitor CVS a letter stating that selling it would be in violation of the 1873 Comstock Act, according to ABC News.
The law makes illegal the sending of contraceptives, substances that induce abortion, pornographic content, sex toys and any written material about these items, the news outlet also reports.

Good! With all the shoplifting that is encouraged out there, I bet Walgreen’s wishes they had never heard of you.
Notice instead of seeking to have congress change the law Newsom would prefer Walgreens violate the law.
Can always expect a democrat to operate above the law, rules only apply to those they disagree with.
A lot of our California Walgreens are closing anyway, due to high and sustained levels of theft. Individualy, most these thefts are below the legal level required for prosecution.
Newsom is a leftist nut case who thinks California law applies to all 50 states.
Awwww. Gigi* having a foot stomppy fit? Again!?
*grinning gavin.
RE: A lot of our California Walgreens are closing anyway, due to high and sustained levels of theft.
And I thought it was only WalMart...
I am just curious why both large companies start with the prefix “Wal”, are they both somehow related to the Walton family?
All law respecting companies should vacate Freakafornia.
Extremists?
Oh yeah pro-lifers
Our Quest continues to find life in the universe. That would be one of the biggest discoveries of all our history and it would probably be at the cellular level.
Yet pregnancy at the cellular level is not called life it’s called a mass or a glob of cells... go figure.
Honestly, these government threats that companies go woke or they will threaten them financially has GOT TO STOP.
Really. It must be against the law for the governor of a state to blackmail a company into breaking the law in order to do business there. Throw this clown in prison.
What a nasty tyrannical communist, injecting himself into private enterprise like that.
Walgreens is better off without California, IMO.
Democrats: The Party of the Murder of Innocents
But, hey, the King Herod’s of the world need a political faction to call home too.
“California won’t be doing business with Walgreens or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women’s lives at risk…”
Said the extremist.
And this is why this nutjob is dangerous!
Imagine that as President!
Walgreen’s needs to be done with Gruesome Newsom’s Cauliphonya Freak Show and move out. Newsome can get their drugs for them from his pals in Mexico.
Does fascist Newsom not get that he doesn’t get to make business decisions? Californians will deal with walgreens as much as they want. The state GOVERNMENT might not but that is *not* California!
“member when liberals were all about private social media companies doing whatever they wanted to censoring conservative thought?
Now private companies are baaad and must be punished when they don’t do what the liberals want.
Charles Walgreen started Walgreens drugs in a hotel in Chicago in the early 1900’s. Or so I think I remember from the Main Street exhibit in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. No relation to the Walmart people.
