Walgreens pharmacy, which recently announced it would begin distributing the abortion pill, has said that it won’t be sending the abortion pill to Kansas — thanks to a letter it received from Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach. Kobach has now also sent a similar letter to CVS pharmacy, which had also announced its intent to sell the drugs.
“[T]he law is straightforward… it is illegal to knowingly mail any ‘article or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion’; it is also illegal to mail any ‘article, instrument, substance, drug, medicine, or thing which is advertised or described in a manner calculated to lead another to use or apply it for producing abortion,” wrote Kobach.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finalized a rule change that would allow pharmacies to become certified to dispense the abortion pill. CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid all signed on to do just that, despite the grave danger it may cause to women and teenage girls.

Kobach sent the letter to Walgreens regarding the federal statute that prohibits the mailing of the abortion pill, as well as a Kansas statute that is currently under litigation which requires a doctor to be present when the abortion pill is administered or an abortion procedure is committed.
As a direct result of that letter, Walgreens said it would not send abortion pills to Kansas for the time being. But “if this approach changes, we will be sure to notify you,” it said.
Kobach said, “The pro-choice movement has always been — ‘Let’s make abortions safe.’ Well in this regard, I would agree with that, if we are going to have abortion procedures there ought to be a doctor present. It should be safe. Just dispensing pills directly and letting people administer this procedure themselves, I think is dangerous.”
He also noted, “The law is the law,” and is happy with the response from Walgreens.
Kobach followed up with a letter to CVS chief counsel Tom Moriarity as well. “As the chief law enforcement officer in Kansas, I am writing to advise you that this plan is illegal, and Kansas will not hesitate to enforce the law.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
