    TLDR:

    Walgreens expects to begin dispensing the drug"within a week," the company told ABC News. It will start providing the pill in a small number of its pharmacies in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, California and Illinois. As far as potential expansion, Walgreens is keeping an eye on Kansas, Montana and Wyoming

    CVS says it plans to begin dispensing “in the weeks ahead” in states where it’s legal and is “working with manufacturers and suppliers to secure the medication and are not yet dispensing it in any of our pharmacies.” The chain will begin filling prescriptions in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and will “expand to additional states, where allowed by law, on a rolling basis.”

      Omfg please, as someone on the border of Kansas but it’s illegal in Missouri (as are all options for abortion, zero exceptions until it “threatens the life” of the person carrying*). Illinois is next closest over 4 hours away.

      *Side note, why the fuck haven’t lawyers used the approach that being forced to carry at all threatens the person carrying, therefore cruel and unusual? Being pregnant WILLINGLY is dangerous.
