Gov. Gavin Newsom said California will cut ties with Walgreens over the company’s decision to stop selling abortion medication in 20 Republican states, including Alaska.
“Companies seem to be caving to political pressure from right wing extremists and there are consequences for those decisions,” said Anthony York.
How California might stop doing business with Walgreens and what impact such a move could have on Californians was not immediately clear. Newsom’s aides said his administration did not have any details on what cutting ties would entail and is only now reviewing all relationships between Walgreens and the state, including MediCal and Covered California contracts.
