Anti-abortion group Students for Life of America and faith-based 40 Days for Life have organized protests outside of local Walgreens and CVS locations in recent weeks in response to the companies' plans to seek approval to dispense mifepristone, which is used with misoprostol to induce abortion. Over two dozen Republican attorneys general have said the pharmacies could face legal consequences if they dispense abortion medication by mail in their states.
“They want to make sure that both of these pharmacy chains, who I'm quite certain never felt they would be at the crux of such a national debate over the issue of access to abortion pills, that these organizations know precisely what the law is," said Sarah Parshall Perry, a senior legal fellow at the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation.
The Biden administration has pushed back on assertions that the federal law prohibits shipping abortion medication to states that have restrictions on terminating a pregnancy. The Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel argued in a legal analysis that the Comstock Act would only apply if a sender's intent in mailing abortion medication were to commit an illegal act.
"We have responded to the state attorneys general letter to Walgreens dated February 1 by indicating we will not dispense Mifepristone in their respective states," a Walgreens spokesperson told the Washington Examiner in a statement earlier this month."We are not distributing Mifepristone at this time. We intend to be a certified pharmacy and will distribute Mifepristone only in those jurisdictions where it is legal and operationally feasible.
