California cuts ties with Walgreens after company limits access to abortion pills

[MegaManX]

• No state funds for any prescriptions. There are plenty of alternatives.
• No flu/shots that are state funded (a massive amount of revenue comes from this.
• Removed from medicare and other state benefits.
• EBT (food stamps) no longer usable in their stores.
• 100% of state employees no longer have tax write offs with Walgreens.

Additionally, one must not forget that if the state is investing 2 BILLION DOLLARS in flu shots to your competitor with you having no right to even bid, your stock price is going to TANK.

They sell sex toys at Wal-Mart, I was surprised when I saw them in the deoderant aisle years ago

Gen Z Obama

So. What about all of the people who have important medications that have to be fulfilled at the pharmacy? So all those people just look for a new pharmacy with their insurance company?

no, it's not. plan b prevents an embryo from implanting and is why you need to take it within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. the abortion pill will abort a fetus that's less than 10 weeks old

Interesting

I’m all for people rights but the black market for that pill will be

Does the effectiveness wear off the closer you are to 10 weeks or is it just a potent?

Imagine some deadbeat father putting that in his girl drink cuz she refused to abort.

A spiteful woman taking the pill at 9 weeks because breh ain’t show her his text history.

Glad I’m not a honest decision maker. This a tough topic

Any coli Dr on here? Coli Pharmacy could make good money

ColiX??

I didn't know abortion pills were a thing?
Unless that's what they call plan B out there

Plan B is not a abortifacient

Technically

You tryna get Plan B out the paint?

No these are essentially very strong prostaglandins (inflammatory chemicals) your body naturally produces that basically cause the uterus to push out its contents

Plan B officially just delays egg release from the egg sacs…basically sperm get to the fallopian tubes like, it’s nothing here ….if it’s taken at the right time. If the egg already there you’re fukked

If Cali pulled all the contract for land the Walgreens sit on it would be something. But I think it’s just “Cali state employees can’t do biz at Walgreens” which is…..shytty for the employees and not much else.

CVS has a window here to get some good headlines though

Lmao the bolded has already happened. A couple years ago some repiblicac got caught and charged for grinding up an abortion pill and putting it in his pregnant mistress's smoothie or some shyt without her knowledge.

I have no idea why Walgreens would even take that approach.

They'll fall back. Stockholders probably like right now.

Check my post a few up, but this is not exactly agreed upon, not enough evidence of this. It’s a shaky position because if they can actually prove this then red states can potentially ban Plan B as well. The official mechanism is just delay of ovulation.

Walgreens doing the LORD'S work

How many unwanted children do you plan on adopting?

Apparently the lord wanted them to go out of business. It's his will

 

[Wargames]

This is the only way this companies will learn to stop pandering and bending to every whim and want of the right wing bigots and racists. I wish this was the norm in blue states. Two can play this game

Yeah they probably never considered that California would cut ties with them as a vendor.

I’m from California majority of the Walgreens I have seen and been to are in or near poor areas. So if Walgreens are the closest shopping area to a food desert and you said ebt doesn’t work there who does this really hurt?

Oof, losing Cali and potentially other big states is going to be bad for their annual reports.

People who live in those red states better be ready to pay more because you know those prices are going up to make up for the lost business.

Time to get with the times.

Here's the thing: somebody else will do what they once were and take their place. Best believe competitors already sent those internal emails out to their employees to come up with a plan to get in. These companies def. ain't replaceable and the pharmacists can work at any other hospital knowing they're in high-demand.
