<p>Walgreens will not distribute abortion pills in 20 mainly Republican-leaning states after being warned by a group of attorneys general not to distribute the pills, according to multiple reports.</p>
<p><a class="Link" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/02/walgreens-abortion-pills-00085325">Politico was first</a> to report the decision Scripps News has reached out to Walgreens multiple times and is still awaiting a statement.</p>
<p><a class="Link" href="https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/2023-02-01-fda-rule---walgreens-letter-danielle-gray.pdf?sfvrsn=ff1e6652_2">The attorneys general</a> are at odds with both drug companies and the Biden administration over the legality of the pills. These attorneys general have fought the Biden administration over the distribution of such pills through the mail.</p>
<p>Among the fights, a federal court case in Texas will weigh whether states have the authority to ban the pills from being sent to women through the mail.</p>
<p>"We're not taking this lightly," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "We're taking this very seriously. This is going to be -- depending on where this goes, this could be unprecedented and uncharted territory. And we're going to continue to do our -- our work internally to see which way -- how we would respond."</p>
<p><a class="Link" href="https://www.fda.gov/drugs/postmarket-drug-safety-information-patients-and-providers/information-about-mifepristone-medical-termination-pregnancy-through-ten-weeks-gestation">According to the Food and Drug Administration, </a>mifepristone is approved for use to terminate pregnancies up to 10 weeks into gestation.</p>
<p>In January, the FDA updated its guidance on prescribing mifepristone that the drug can be issued without an in-person appointment. The ACLU, however, said the updated guidance didn't go far enough as it limits those who can prescribe the drug by those who meet certain qualifications.</p>
<p>In addition to Walgreens, other major drug companies received letters from state attorneys general demanding they also not distribute abortion pills.</p>

<p>Attorneys general from across the U.S. have written to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg urging him to drop company plans for a version of Instagram for children under the age of 13.</p>
<p>The attorneys general say they're concerned about social media’s effects on the physical and emotional well-being of children.</p>
<p>"Use of social media can be detrimental to the health and well-being of children, who are not equipped to navigate the challenges of having a social media account," the letter read. "Further, Facebook has historically failed to protect the welfare of children on its platforms."</p>
<p><a class="Link" href="https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/naag_letter_to_facebook_-_final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The letter</a> cited research that points to an “increase in mental distress, self-injurious behavior and suicidality among youth" that use social media. It also pointed out that young children may not have developed an understanding of privacy, and "may not fully appreciate what content is appropriate for them to share with others, the permanency of content they post on an online platform, and who has access to what they share online."</p>
<p>The attorneys general also cited the potential for increased cyberbullying and site's potential vulnerability to predators.</p>
<p>Finally, the letter cited Facebook's "record of failing to protect the safety and privacy of children," citing <a class="Link" href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/22/20706250/facebook-messenger-kids-bug-chat-app-unauthorized-adults" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports from 2019</a> that showed a Facebook Messenger Kids app included a design flaw that allowed children to circumvent the system and join chats with adults.</p>
<p>Facebook in a statement Monday said it's just exploring Instagram for kids and would make every effort to protect children and would not show advertising on such a platform.</p>
<p>Facebook's plans to launch an Instagram platform for kids surfaced in March. In an interview with <a class="Link" href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/facebook-instagram-for-children-under-13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BuzzFeed</a> News at the time, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said that the company recognized that many kids wanted to use Instagram and was only in the early stages of exploring potential ways to provide a product for children.</p>
