Washington, DC – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-28) today led 54 members of Congress in pressing Walmart, Safeway, Kroger, Costco, and Healthmart to undergo the certification process to dispense the medication abortion drug, Mifepristone. In January of last year, the FDA created a pathway for patients with certified prescriptions to obtain mifepristone through a certified retail pharmacy. After 18 months, these pharmacies have refused to say whether or not they have begun the process to obtain certification to dispense mifepristone in states where it remains legal and have not indicated that they plan to seek certification to dispense the drug. Their refusal to commit to certification comes despite Congressmembers Goldman and Chu making similar calls in June of last year, and the Supreme Court’s recent case upholding the legal status of the medication abortion drug.
