House Democrats urge major retailers to stock abortion pill.

House Democrats have urged Walmart, Costco, Kroger, Safeway, and Health Mart to publicly commit to selling the prescription abortion pill mifepristone at their retail pharmacies. Pending lawsuits have jeopardized mifepristone's approval in the US, and for now, it is the most common method to terminate a pregnancy in the country. The five companies have been silent for months on whether they will get certified to sell mifepristone under an FDA program that monitors how the medication is distributed and used by patients.
