One of the nation’s largest pharmacies said Friday it wouldn’t dispense abortion pills in some states, including several where medication abortion remains legal.
A group of 20 Republican attorneys general warned CVS and Walgreens in a letter last month that they could face legal consequences if they sell abortion pills by mail in their states.
The letter, from Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, was cosigned by attorneys general in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.

Walgreens responded to the letter by saying it will not dispense the abortion pill mifepristone in these states, Jim Cohn, a spokesperson for the company, confirmed to USA TODAY on Friday.
The list of states in the letter include some where abortion is legal both generally and regarding medication abortion.
