The pro-life movement joined in a collective cheer after Costco’s announcement that they would no longer sell chemical abortion pills. This important victory builds momentum for advancing our highest priority in saving lives.
Chemical abortion presents the greatest threat to the lives of America’s unborn children while traumatizing their mothers. We must now redouble our efforts to convince pharmacies that being part of the abortion industry is bad for business.
Costco Comes Clean
The Costco announcement comes after pro-life shareholders put pressure on the popular wholesaler and
more than six thousand Costco members signed a petition asking them to stop selling the death drug. Costco told Bloomberg News that their decision was due to a lack of demand for the drug.
Their public statement doesn’t matter. What’s important is that the giant wholesaler is no longer an instrument of death.
Costco has joined a growing number of network pharmacies that have rejected being part and parcel of the abortion industry. Others who are not selling chemical abortion pills include Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Sam’s Club and McKesson. A search into Amazon’s pharmacy shows that they do not sell mifepristone but do sell misoprostol, billed as a one-drug chemical abortion in several parts of the world.
Our Work Isn’t Done
Sadly, Walgreens and CVS, America’s two largest pharmacy chains lack an understanding that their role is to dispense prescriptions that nurture and heal human life. Instead, they are participating in the direct and intentional killing of preborn children.
“CVS Health® has a long history of supporting and advancing women’s health…This includes providing access to safe, legal, and evidence-based reproductive health services…”
“Walgreens remains committed to providing access to women’s reproductive health through education, medical services and filling FDA approved medications.”
Both of these drug conglomerates operate under the mistaken notion that abortion is healthcare. It’s time we told them.
Conservative investment groups, under the leadership of Inspire Investing have also engaged with network pharmacies, cautioning them that partnering with the abortion industry is a net negative for business. The Costco victory has emboldened them to build on this momentum as they tackle the two largest pharmacy networks.
The pro-life movement must prioritize discouraging Walgreens and CVS from selling a drug with the sole purpose of stopping the hearts of helpless unborn babies.
One Person Can Make a Difference.
You can help the effort by learning more about the dangers of chemical abortion pills to both mothers and their unborn children. Share this knowledge with others and prayerfully consider where you will shop for prescriptions and the sundry of other products these stores offer.
Together we’re saving lives,
