The unexpected announcement came in a 141-character tweet, following news that the American retail pharmacy won’t distribute abortion pills in 20 Republican-led states, including some where abortion remains legal. The pill, mifepristone, is at the center of the controversy. How does the abortion pill work? The abortion pill should not be taken to terminate a pregnancy if it’s been more than 70 days since the first day of the last menstrual period, according to the FDA. Several conservative-led states warned of legal consequences if retail pharmacies including Walgreens and CVS sell abortion pills through the mail in those states.
