California to not do business with Walgreens over abortion pills issue- Governor

[In It to Win It]

(Reuters) - California would not do business with Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc, state Governor Gavin Newsom said in a tweet on Monday, days after the pharmacy chain said it will not dispense abortion pills in some Republican states.

The state refuses to do business with Walgreens or "any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk," Democrat governor Newsom said.

9. Anyone know where CVS is on this?

Or Safeway? Or even (gag) Wal Mart?
I just switched to Walgreens because my Kroger pharmacy went “out of network”. But, with this crap, I’m ready to switch again.

10. As far as what's been reported so far

The red-state AGs only sent a strongly worded letter to Walgreens and CVS, so the spotlight hasn't been on the other companies. CVS hasn't announced whether or not they intend on complying with the red-state AGs demands.

11. Good News!!!

But hey, Reuters? it's "Democrat-IC" governor Newsom.

You're a news service, for fuck's sake.

16. Good luck

Even people here on DU continue to use an apostrophe to form a plural, even though there is no school anywhere in the English-speaking world that teaches that. They also say things like "for my wife and I," even though no one would ever say, "for I."

And you want Reuters to know how to form a simple adjective? The whole of North America south of the Canadian border seems to be learning, post-education, to speak and write Republicanese.

18. I love Gavin. I hope he runs for prez if J.B. does not.

He's the rare high-profile Dem who really knows how to not pull punches and go on the offense. He has the power of his convictions and he's not afraid to express them.

20. Will never set food in another Walgreens until they reverse this decision.

Now added to my list of boycotts which include Hobby Lobby and Chick Fil-A!

21. Good

22. What is "Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc". Is that the same as the drug stores?

And what business does CA do with "Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc", since it's a retail pharmacy, not a government contractor?

[In It to Win It]

23. It is the name of the company that owns the Walgreens stores

The name comes as a result of a merger, but its Walgreens.

[HeartachesNhangovers]

24. Thank you. I suppose CA could stop working with Walgreens on future vaccinations, and not use

them (if they already do) to provide prescription medicine covered by the Covered California health plan.

25. So if they are going to ignore federal law and follow state

law I can look forward to my local Walgreens to start dispensing medical marijuana right? Of course not because they follow federal law and they need to follow federal law in this situation.
