Governor Gavin Newsom took to Twitter to blast drugstore giant Walgreens over its decision not to offer abortion medication in twenty states. Newsom said in a Tweet on Monday that California will cease doing business with the national drugstore chain. The governor's announcement comes in response to Walgreens' decision that the drugstore chain will not distribute the abortion pill Mifepristone in 20 Republican-led states, bowing to pressure from anti-abortion lawmakers and lawsuits targeting the legality of abortion pills.
