According to a Feb. 17 letter from Walgreens sent to Kansas Attorney General Kris W. Kobach, Walgreens does not currently distribute the abortion pill, called Mifepristone, at any of its locations.
There are no Walgreens locations in Bloomington. Their nearest location is in Martinsville, Indiana, about 17 miles north.
CVS, another large pharmacy chain that has multiple Bloomington locations, has not made a statement about Mifepristone. However, a local CVS pharmacy representative said they do carry Mifepristone, and it would be available to any customer who had a doctor’s prescription.
