ST. LOUIS (AP) — Attorneys general in 20 conservative-led states warned CVS and Walgreens on Wednesday that they could face legal consequences if they sell abortion pills by mail in those states.

A letter from Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to the nation's largest pharmacy-dispensing companies was co-signed by 19 other attorneys general, warning that sale of abortion pills would violate federal law and abortion laws in many states. Missouri is among states that implemented strict abortion prohibitions last summer after the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.

Bailey didn't specify what legal action he would take if the pharmacies begin selling abortion pills to Missourians by mail.

“I will enforce the laws as written," Bailey said in a statement in response to questions from The Associated Press. "That includes laws protecting the health of women and their unborn children. The FDA rule is in direct violation of federal law, and the unelected bureaucrats at the FDA have no authority to change Missouri law, either. The people’s elected representatives have spoken on the issue of abortion in our state, and we will fight to uphold that in court.”

Nineteen states have imposed restrictions on abortion pills, but there’s a court battle over whether they have the power to do so in defiance of U.S. Food and Drug Administration policy. A physician and a company that makes the pill mifepristone filed separate lawsuits last month seeking to strike down bans in North Carolina and West Virginia.

1. Ya just know Texas is among the group or will be

Perhaps these companies should let women just purchase them from the warehouse and ship them free of charge.

It would definitely be a good pr campaign.

womens medical decisions you idiot attorney generals. So glad I don’t have young adult children that have to deal with this.

in their family needed an abortion they would fly them to a blue state.

Such hypocrites! They are just pandering to the base.

7. Remember when there was going to be all sorts of major protests

And unrest about the abortion bans? A few parades and that was it while this shit is getting worse and worse.

8. They basically got away with taking away a constitutional right

9. No pushback. Might have helped with the last election somewhat

But in the red states the bastards are still in charge. The directly affected by this really have no voice in it.

10. What about a pharmacy in Canada or Mexico? The US can't charge a pharmacy in another

country can they?

(I'm also thinking of buying illegal drugs online and how that is regulated........maybe it could answer some questions.)
