    Bad news about Costco: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/costco-not-sell-abortion-pill-mifepristone-its-us-pharmacy-stores-aug-14-2025-08-14/

    UPDATE (for additional context): Reportedly, Costco has never carried mifepristone, ever, and according to Costco’s own analysis, there has not been significant demand from Costco members to warrant adding it.

    https://www.seattletimes.com/business/costco-asserts-that-it-wont-sell-abortion-pill-mifepristone/

    For even more context, mifepristone is only ever meant to be administered under the direct supervision of medical staff. That doesn’t mean a doctor prescribed this pill for you to take at home, it means you only get the pill in a doctor’s office, with the doctor and staff there to care for you.

    People I know who have taken mifepristone confirm: it does fuck you up and you DON’T want to take it at home.

      If you read the article it’s because it wasn’t selling and had nothing to do with politics

        Just to add to this, a low volume drug that is not taken regularly doesn’t fit in well with a company that specializes in selling products in bulk

          True, if you need 1000 of those pills you might have a problem. 😆

        Further reading gives additional context on that.

          The article has already had 2 retractions that clarify now that they never sold the drug and had no intent to because people generally get the medicine from their doctor.

          It’s like me asking you if you plan personally plan to sell lgbt t shirts out of your car and when you say no, because why would you be selling t shirts out of your car, I make an article claiming your are anti lgbt and are refusing to sell lgbt t shirts

            Good sleuthing. This is what news should be, finding the misinformation, fact checking it, correcting it.

      Jesus. Ok I guess at this point it’s who is the least evil I can work with.

      E: They never sold the drug.
