An abundance of caution
Something our trans “sisters” will never have to worry about:
The nation’s second-largest pharmacy chain confirmed Thursday that it will not dispense abortion pills in several states where they remain legal — acting out of an abundance of caution amid a shifting policy landscape, threats from state officials and pressure from anti-abortion activists.
An abundance of caution from the point of view of the pharmacy chain – not from the point of view of the women who need the pills.
Nearly two dozen Republican state attorneys general wrote to Walgreens in February, threatening legal action if the company began distributing the drugs, which have become the nation’s most popular method for ending a pregnancy.
It’s that important to keep forcing women to gestate and give birth to babies against their will. Rebellious slaves must be taught who’s in charge.
The list includes several states where abortion in general, and the medications specifically, remain legal — including Alaska, Iowa, Kansas and Montana. For example, Kansas’ law that patients only obtain the pills directly from a physician is blocked in court.
Legal shmegal – women must be made to submit.
“They’re denying
people[women] agency over their lives,” said Elizabeth Nash, a state policy expert with the abortion-rights Guttmacher Institute. “When we’re thinking about states that have a lot of their population in rural areas, it’s much more likely that a pharmacy is nearby than a provider’s office, so these pharmacies play an outsized role in patient health and access to health care.”
They’re denying women agency, not people. It’s women who are not allowed to be full independent humans.
I wonder if Nebraska is included? We’ve been receiving patients from other states for abortions, but there are definitely forces that want to make it illegal.
Republicans are doing to Walgreens like Stonewall did to everybody – threatening them with laws that don’t exist.
