          The drug itself is not illegal. The regressive states couldn’t necessarily charge you just because you have an FDA approved drug.

          What is illegal in these states is the treatment itself and prescribing the treatment. The drug is a means of abortion, but the act of abortion is what’s illegal.

            So prescribing it and taking it in a shit hole state could get you jailed, but nothing to stop these companies from selling it in those states, right? Say a customer was traveling through had a valid out of state prescription and was planning to use it after exiting the shithole state.

            Walgreens and CVS should step up and make sure this is as widely available as possible.

              Devil’s advocate would say that it is then the pharmacy could get in trouble for providing the pill. Sure, the Federal government won’t go after them. Pharmacists do have state issues licenses however.

              But you are right, I don’t disagree! Perhaps could get it mailed in? That’s what all those online only erectile dysfunctional sites do. Shipping through USPS is federal too.
