ABORTION PILL POLITICS — Walgreens, the nation’s second-largest pharmacy chain, is suddenly caught in the crossfire of presidential politics.
After confirming to POLITICO that they will not sell abortion pills in 20-plus states where Republican attorneys general have threatened them with legal action, Walgreens was dragged over the weekend into the 2024 race, where GOP hopefuls are working to prove their anti-abortion bona fides.
Former Vice President Mike Pence lavished praise on the company at Students for Life’s annual gala in Naples, Fla., telling guests that their pressure campaign against “pill mills and mail-order abortions” is working and urging them to “stay in the fight.”
“I commend Walgreens for yielding to the rule of law,” he said. “Americans don’t want their pharmacies to become abortion facilities.”
