A South Carolina woman “was arrested earlier this week and charged with performing or soliciting an abortion,” the Columbia State reports. “The incident report says the woman told medical personnel she had taken abortion pills to end a pregnancy. State law prohibits self-medication to abort a pregnancy. The fetus was stillborn and was determined to be 25 weeks and four days, according to the incident report.”
Or a ceo _____________________________ Walgreens won't dispense abortion pills in some Republican states REUTERS 8:33 PM ET 3/2/2023 March 2 (Reuters) - Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc(WBA) on Thursday said it will not dispense abortion pills in the states of 20 Republican attorneys general who have told the pharmacy chain it risked breaking the law should it dispense them to the states by mail. The decision comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed retail pharmacies to dispense mifepristone pills, including by mail, provided they are certified under special safety rules for the drug. A Walgreens spokesperson said the pharmacy's decision was in response to a letter from the attorneys general. They said Walgreens intended to become a certified pharmacy and would only dispense in jurisdictions where it was legal to do so. CVS Health Corp (CVS), which also received the letter, did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment. News website Politico first reported Walgreens' position on Thursday. Medication abortion, which accounts for more than half of U.S. abortions, has drawn increasing attention since the Supreme Court in June overturned a landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that had recognized abortion as a constitutional right nationwide. Mifepristone, used in combination with another drug, misoprostol, is approved for abortion within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Arkansas Pushes Ahead With Anti-Abortion Memorial on State Capitol Grounds https://www.thedailybeast.com/arkan...ti-abortion-memorial-on-state-capitol-grounds The Arkansas House on Tuesday passed a bill to build a monument marking the number of abortions carried out in the state before the end of Roe v. Wade. The proposal to create a so-called monument to the unborn near the state Capitol was approved in a 60-19 vote. The memorial, which would commemorate “unborn children aborted during the era of Roe v. Wade,” was opposed by Republican Rep. Jeremiah Moore on the grounds that it would represent a “poke in the eye to all those who do not share our beliefs.” “It is not a poke in the eye,” Rep. Cindy Crawford said before the vote. “It is a ‘God forgive us for what we have done.’” After the Supreme Court struck down the 1973 Roe decision last year, Arkansas banned almost all abortions except in cases where it could save a mother’s life in a medical emergency.

“Idaho already has some of the most extreme abortion restrictions on the books, with nearly all abortions banned in the state and an affirmative defense law that essentially asserts any doctor who provides an abortion is guilty until proven innocent,” the HuffPost reports. “And now Idaho Republicans have set their sights on hindering certain residents from traveling out of state to get an abortion.”
