California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that the state will not be renewing its multi-million dollar contract with Walgreens due to the pharmacy chain's decision to not distribute abortion medication by mail in 21 U.S. states. The current contract has resulted in the state paying out approximately $54 million, and Newsom has taken a strong stance against any attempts to limit access to abortion services. The state will instead explore other options for furnishing the same services to protect reproductive rights in California.
