While much of the news cycle this week has been focused on the House, the Biden Administration, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and pharmacy giants CVS and Walgreens have been moving in tandem to expand access to abortion-inducing drugs. A recent rule change at the FDA paves the way for your local CVS or Walgreens pharmacy to sell abortion-inducing drugs - that's right, your local pharmacy could, in effect, become an abortion facility.

Abortion-inducing drugs take the lives of unborn children and are much likelier to cause a negative health outcome for pregnant women than surgical abortions. Studies show these drugs include a 53% greater risk of a complication than after a surgical abortion. The last thing any of us should want is to see our local CVS or Walgreens become an abortion business! Pharmacies are places where we go for treatment for ailments, and to alleviate suffering, but CVS and Walgreens would turn them into places of death for the unborn and pain for women.

That's why Family Research Council Action is collecting signatures for a petition, to tell these big retail pharmacies to stick to their business of healing and alleviating suffering and stay out of the abortion business!

Please take a moment to read our petition below, you can sign it by clicking on the link below.

We write to you with great concern because of the news that you intend to turn your pharmacies into abortion businesses. The neighborhood pharmacy has always stood as a place of healing, where human suffering can be alleviated thanks to the dedicated work of our local pharmacists. However, by selling the chemical abortion regimen, the local pharmacy will become a place of suffering and death.

Abortion-inducing drugs do more than just take the lives of the most vulnerable among us: the unborn - they hurt women. A recent study of 42,000 abortions found that women suffered four times as many adverse side effects from abortion-inducing drugs than from surgical abortions. In fact, one in five abortions induced by mifepristone resulted in negative health outcomes.

We ask that you stop attempting to sell these harmful drugs in your pharmacies.

We ask that you commit to keeping these drugs that end the lives of children and hurt women out of our communities.

We ask that you keep your pharmacy business a pharmacy business - not an abortion business.
