The governor reacted to Walgreens naming Republican-led states where it will not sell the medication after pressure from anti-abortion lawmakers and lawsuits.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, 55, spoke out about Walgreens recently naming over 20 states in which they will not sell abortion medication at their stores. The politician took to Twitter on Monday to share a message that stated California “won’t be doing business with” the popular pharmacy store or “any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women’s lives at risk.” He ended the tweet, which can be seen below, with the words, “We’re done.”
Gavin’s reaction comes three days after Walgreens revealed the stores in the red states will not dispense mifepristone, which is the first of two drugs in the medication abortion process that ends “a intrauterine pregnancy through ten weeks gestation,” according to the FDA. The decision followed a Feb. 1st letter from GOP attorneys general in those states, CNN reported. The GOP leaders have also recently been targeting various businesses, including Disney and investment funds.
