20 Republican state attorneys general told Walgreens and CVS Wednesday that distributing abortion pills by mail is illegal and that they could be liable if they proceed.
Prior to the rule change, mifepristone, the first pill used in the two-part abortion process, could be dispensed only by some mail-order pharmacies or by certified doctors or clinics.
Containers of the medication used to end an early pregnancy sit on a table inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, Oct. 29, 2021, in Fairview Heights, Illinois. "We reject the Biden administration’s bizarre interpretation, and we expect courts will as well. Courts do not lightly ignore the plain text of statutes. And the Supreme Court has been openly aversive to other attempts by the Biden administration to press antitextual arguments," they wrote.
The letters also point out that, like federal law,"the laws of many states also prohibit using the mail to send or receive abortion drugs."
