CVS & Walgreens Chemical Abortion Controversey
At pharmacy outreach or protest events,
we have the opportunity to educate
by distributig a chemical abortion flyer.
Thankfully, Walmart and other pharmacy chains have stayed away from pill abortion. Let's keep it that way!
In January of 2023, the Food and Drug Administration offered pharmacies the "opportunity” to fill chemical abortion prescriptions. That’s right, neighborhood pharmacies were invited to join Planned Parenthood in the abortion industry.
CVS and Walgreens were the only pharmacy chains to say yes to obtaining FDA certification to fill prescriptions for the abortion cocktail: mifepristone and misoprostol.
CVS and Walgreens announced in March of 2024 that they began filling chemical abortion prescriptions. Initially, this was in six deep-blue states: California, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
The hope for containing CVS and Walgreens was dashed in August of 2025. We learned from Live Action News about the huge expansion of the abortion footprint of CVS and Walgreens. The number increased to over 20 states.
This awful news about pill abortion expansion has been tempered by the reality that other pharmacy chains remained on the sidelines. No additional pharmacy chains have joined CVS and Walgreens. Most recently, Costco announced the company had not and would not fill prescriptions for abortions.
Pro-Life Waco started CVS and Walgreens back in March of 2023. (Pro-Life in the Public Square was created by the leadership team of Pro-Life Waco.) Pro-Life Waco has continued pharmacy protests and chemical abortion education an average of twice per month. CVS and Walgreens made a long-term commitment to killing preborn babies. Pro-Life in the Public Square, with your collaboration, has made a long-term commitment to shining a spotlight on CVS and Walgreens.
Pro-life pharmacy outreach involves two distinct events occurring simultaneously. One is challenging CVS and Walgreens for committing chemical abortion by prescription. The second is educating our neighbors on chemical abortion. We have produced a fact-filled chemical abortion flyer for distribution to travelers, customers, and employees.
With over two years of pharmacy outreach in Waco, Pro-Life in the Public Square is well-prepared to equip pro-lifers nationwide to engage in pharmacy outreach on a continuing basis. We suggest monthly or quarterly. A one-time event would have no chance to impact the pharmacy chains to either back out or stay out. We offer a free Quickstart Pack to groups and individuals that will join. The goal is to have 100 CVS and Walgreens pharmacies facing at least monthly protests. These chains offer 18,000 stores in America to choose from!
I ask you to launch ongoing pharmacy outreach in your hometown. Please check out the free QuickStart Pack offer to participating groups. You will receive well-tested signs and flyers packed with vital information about all facets of chemical abortion. CVS and Walgreens are now killing in over 20 state and would like to expand. These corporations should face unwavering opposition in all 50 states.
The pharmacy outreach movement goals are achievable. Check out the five top victories achieved by Pro-Life Waco over the years.
Let’s work and pray for victory over the evil initiative of CVS and Walgreens and to keep other pharmacy chains on the sidelines. With God’s grace, we work and pray for victories in pharmacy outreach to give our movement a boost, just like the lunch counter desegregation movement did for civil rights in the 1960s.
