Costco affirmed its decision to not sell the abortion pill, mifepristone, despite calls from activists to reverse its position. (Seattle Times)

“This decision by Costco is incredibly alarming and frustrating for a free and democratic society,” Alloy said in a phone interview. “Pharmacies have a critical role to play in partnering with patients and providers to get them the medication that they need and should not be acting as an arbiter of what medications people should have access to.”
