Pledge To Support Your Local Family Pharmacy

More than half of abortions in the U.S. now involve two “abortion pills,” Mifepristone and Misopristol. It is currently legal in NY for retail pharmacies to mail abortion pills with a prescription via tele-health. CVS and Walgreens have already obtained their certification to dispense abortion pills. Walgreens started providing medication abortions in NY.

Giant retail pharmacies are more likely to undergo the expensive certification process than independent privately owned family pharmacies.

By signing this petition, you are stating that you oppose the pharmaceutical sale of abortion pills.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

Chemical abortion kills human beings and increases health risks for women. Retail pharmaceutical sale of abortion pills is deadly for unborn children and harmful for women.

MAKE THE SWITCH NOW TO A LOCAL FAMILY PHARMACY!

For a list of local privately owned independent pharmacies in New York go to FCLNY.ORG

You do not need to live in NYS to sign this petition.

*This petition is not meant to be an endorsement of any privately owned independent pharmacy or a guarantee that any refrain from distributing abortion pills.

Thank you so much.

Human beings begin their lives at conception, according to established scientific consensus.

Pharmaceutical sale of chemical abortions impedes the ability to detect and address any coercion that may have been exerted on a woman to abort her child. Studies show a sizable percentage of women who undergo abortion are coerced to do so by violent intimate partners and/or sex traffickers.
The dangers of medication abortion increase as the embryo grows, and are potentially lethal for women and girls experiencing ectopic pregnancies. NY fails to require ultrasounds occur pre-chemical abortions, the surest, most reliable and accurate method for determining the gestational age of an unborn child or whether a pregnancy is ectopic.
Science demonstrates: "Abortion pills are far riskier than surgical abortions,” and elevate the likelihood of health complications for women and girls. The risks of chemical abortion include hemorrhaging, fever, incomplete abortion, and other complications such as, infection, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, on-going pregnancy, and uterine rupture.
