Regarding the future of the pill in Alaska, Walgreens issued a statement saying that it will dispense the abortion pill as long as it is federally legal.
Rep. Zack Fields of Anchorage pointed to the state constitution in defending Alaskan’s rights to an abortion.
“The right to abortion, abortion access, is protected in our constitution. It’s been protected for decades, and we just had an election where 70% of Alaskans said ‘Yes, we want to keep the constitution we have.’” “If any company were to restrict access to lifesaving medication, that is a huge step backwards for all Alaskans and we should all be really concerned by that,” Armstrong said.
