20 attorneys general warn Walgreens, CVS over abortion pills

Bailey didn’t specify what legal action he would take if the pharmacies begin selling abortion pills to Missourians by mail.

That's because there isn't a damned thing he can do. It's not like abortion-rights states are going to extradite their pharmacists for something that isn't illegal in their state.

More people need to learn the history of the Fugitive Slave Act. It was supposed to be in your high school history class.

Yeah, hard to see what they can do here.

The FDA has absolute authority over the legality of drugs in the US. States cannot overrule it, so they can't make the drug illegal. The USPS has absolute authority over the content of mail, so states can't do anything there either.

There are some old laws on the books regarding lewd content being sent by mail that were never repealed but were ruled unconstitutional. Might be able to get Alito to leak another ruling in their favor on that, but that will only put their local pharmacies out of business and cause the California pharmacies to go brr as they bulk mail the stuff to their state. Same outcome, just exporting their economy to California, which you would think they would oppose.

They likely received the lesson on the fugitive slave act. They either:

Didn’t develop the critical thinking to compare the situation

Weren’t paying attention

Don’t Care

Any number of other possibilities

Ya, but these corrupt pieces of shit will no doubt find other ways to harass and annoy these companies in order to score political points with their MAGA base.

Sounds a lot like Critical Race Theory to me. Can't have that.

Schools in rural areas don't teach that because then how could they act like the civil war was about state's rights?

Why do you think they’re trying to ban the teaching of accurate history too? It’s all tied together. Keep people poor and uneducated, tell them who to be afraid of, and make sure they keep pumping out more generations of peasants to toil for the landed gentry. It benefits them to have the population not be able to recognize when history is repeating itself.

Also the Interstate Commerce Clause. This is federal jurisdiction.

The history I learned was they did it once and they'd happily do it again if they got enough support.

It was co-signed by attorneys general in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.

I can say, in Alaska at least, the voters overwhelmingly told the governor to fuck off trying to ban abortion. He didnt care.

Kentucky had an amendment in the last general election banning abortion that was voted down. Our piece of shit AG immediately came out with a statement along the lines of “the people of Kentucky have spoken, but I don’t care and I’m going to work on a way to ban it anyway.”

Also worth noting that Montana and Kentucky also voted down referendums to restrict abortion last year. Kansas as well although they don't seem to be listed as one of the states to have sent a letter.
