Major US pharmacies are set to dispense the abortion pill mifepristone as part of medication abortion regimens. CVS and Walgreens have received certification to provide mifepristone and will initially offer it in select states where it’s legal. CVS will start in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with plans to expand further, while Walgreens will begin in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, California, and Illinois. This move follows updated FDA guidelines allowing certified pharmacies to dispense mifepristone with a prescription. President Biden praised the decision, emphasizing the importance of access to reproductive healthcare. This development marks a significant step in ensuring women’s reproductive rights in the United States.
