- Pickets are being organized by pro-life activists outside CVS and Walgreens to protest the companies’ plans to stock and dispense abortion pills in states where they are legal.
- Abortion pills have become the most common way to terminate a pregnancy in the United States.
- The goal of the demonstrations, planned for early February in at least eight cities, is to “Put enough pressure on the companies to retract this decision and not get certified to sell abortion pills,” according to Caroline Smith, a leader of the group Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising.
