Dems Ask Pharmacies How Govt. Can Ensure Safe Access To Mifepristone

Illinois Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth have reached out to pharmacy chains Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid to ask how the federal government can help ensure the stores have access to and can safely and confidentially provide patients with abortion pills now that FDA has cleared the way for pharmacies to get certified to dispense mifepristone -- one of two pills used as part of a medication abortion regimen -- in stores and by mail.
