The 20 states where Walgreens won't sell mifepristone include some where abortion remains legal. It's not clear whether other retail pharmacies will follow suit.
Walgreens won't distribute abortion pills in states where Republican officials have threatened legal action — including some places where abortion is still legal and available. The pharmacy chain said in a statement to NPR on Friday that it's still taking steps to sell the drug in "jurisdictions where it is legal and operationally feasible."
The confirmation came a month after 20 Republican state attorneys general, mostly from states where abortion is banned or heavily restricted, sent letters threatening Walgreens and other pharmacies with legal action if they dispensed mifepristone, an abortion pill.

OK..heres the deal...walgreen is a publicly traded company. Their leadership has decided not to sell this. No one can force them to sell anything. If you don't like Walgreens becasue of their policies don't buy ther stuff go to another pharmacy. I don't see what the big deal is for everyone.
I don't like the beliefs and standards of Starbucks...guess what I don't buy their coffee.
