The two largest pharmacy chains in the U.S. will begin selling abortion pills as soon as this month.
Walgreens and CVS will start selling Mifepristone at certain pharmacies in states where it's legal to do so. According to separate statements, the two companies received certification from the FDA to dispense the pill.
CVS will start filling prescriptions in Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the next few weeks and will expand to more states where allowed by law. Walgreens plans to fill prescriptions in Pennsylvania, New York, California, Illinois and Massachusetts.
The chains will not provide the pills by mail.
