Hi,

Walgreens announced it will stop selling abortion medication in certain
states — all because MAGA extremist Attorneys General scared the
mega-corporation with a lawsuit. It is shameful that Walgreens would
simply bow to pressure from anti-abortion Republicans.

Meanwhile in Texas, a Trump-appointed judge may soon ban the critical
abortion medication mifepristone.^1 President Biden must use his executive
authority to protect abortion rights against MAGA extremists in the courts
and in state and local governments.

protecting easy, safe access to abortion care in America — including
protecting access to abortion medication.

Following the news from Walgreens, Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the
corporation to resist MAGA extremism and urged other pharmacies not to
make this same mistake.^2 That’s after she and Senator Mazie Hirono led a
letter to the White House asking President Biden to take eleven actions to
protect abortion rights — including protecting access to medication
abortion.^3

After the extreme right-wing Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, MAGA
governors like Ron DeSantis and conservative state legislatures are
pushing it further and targeting further restrictions like banning
abortion medication.

Medication abortion care is a safe, effective, non-invasive option for
ending an early pregnancy.^4 It’s critical to make medication abortion
available as widely as possible, especially after the Supreme Court’s
anti-abortion decision.

The White House must meet active attacks from Republicans like DeSantis
and use the President’s executive authority to protect the rights to safe,
accessible abortion care.

before MAGA extremists and mega-corporations roll back abortion rights
even further.

Thanks for taking action,

Tihi and the team at Demand Progress
