After pharma giant Walgreens confirmed on Thursday, 2 March, that it would not dispense abortion pills in several states in the United States where they remain legal, netizens took to Twitter to condemn the move.
Walgreens' decision comes after over 20 Republican state attorney generals wrote to the company in February, threatening legal action if it continued to distribute abortion pills, reported Politico.
Abortion pills have become the most popular method for terminating a pregnancy in the US, which saw the Supreme Court overturning of the Roe vs Wade ruling – i.e, the right to procure an abortion – in June 2022.
