CVS and Walgreens to Start Selling Abortion Pills This Month

”The announcement by CVS and Walgreens offers the hope of expanded access to reproductive health care for patients in states that permit abortion. However, later this month, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a review of a decision by the Fifth Circuit that would dramatically restrict access to mifepristone,” Professor Wendy Parmet, faculty director of Northeastern Law’s Center for Health Policy and Law tells CBS MoneyWatch. “If the Supreme Court upholds the lower court’s order, the expanded access promised by today’s order will be short-lived.”
