Costco Wholesale has decided not to dispense the abortion pill mifepristone at its pharmacy locations, following pressure from a coalition of faith-based activists. The group, which includes conservative organizations and states’ officials, had urged the retailer to avoid selling the medication.
The decision was hailed by a coalition of faith-based activists who argued that dispensing the pill would go against their values. Costco stated it had no comment on whether its actions were influenced by the group’s efforts. However, ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom) has expressed enthusiasm for the move, calling it a “significant win”.
