Walgreens and CVS will team up to dispense mifepristone at all the pharmacy locations in the U.S. where abortion is legal and pharmacies are legally able to dispense the pill, according to Supermarket News.
The initial release of the abortion pill will be limited to "select locations" so the FDA can make sure there's safety, quality, and privacy for their patients and pharmacists.
Besides Illinois, CVS and Walgreens plan to sell mifepristone at stores located in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, and California, according to a report from Supermarket News.
