States are where the fight is now. Pro-lifers must elect pro-life governors and attorney generals in order to save lives.
CNN: Walgreens said it will not distribute abortion medication in 20 states, bowing to pressure from anti-abortion lawmakers and lawsuits targeting the legality of medication abortion.
The company said it will not dispense mifepristone, the first of two drugs in the medication abortion process, in 20 states following a February 1 letter from GOP attorneys general in those states.
Retail pharmacies have been caught in the middle of abortion battles. Companies are loath to antagonize lawmakers in states where they may face politically motivated reprisals. GOP leaders have recently targeted businesses ranging from Disney to investment funds.
To be fair, GOP leader Ron DeSantis didn’t pick a fight with Disney. He just won one. Not to be childish about it, but they started it. He just finished it.
That’s what pro-lifers must demand of their elected representatives. First we must cut off funding to Planned Parenthood and other abortuaries. The state should also be demanding these places protect women and put them under tight scrutiny through inspections. And the politicians must make every effort to enshrine the protection of life into state law.
Politics is local. That’s never been truer than it is right now.
