加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽瑟姆周一宣布，该州将不会与沃尔格林靴子联盟做生意堕胎丸。
上周，在保守派司法部长威胁采取法律行动后，全国连锁药店表示不会在20个州分发米非司酮。
在一个自录音再现装置发出的高音纽瑟姆批评了这一决定，他写道，“加州不会与沃尔格林或任何向极端分子低头、将女性生命置于危险境地的公司做生意。我们完了。”
州长办公室没有立即回复ABC新闻的置评请求。
上个月，司法部长小组致信CVS和Walgreens，称如果他们出售米非司酮，将违反1873年的《康斯托克法案》,该法案规定，发送避孕药、诱导堕胎的物质、色情内容、性玩具和任何关于这些物品的书面材料都是非法的。
据报道，签署这封信的几个州——包括阿拉斯加、爱荷华、堪萨斯和蒙大纳——目前允许堕胎，包括堕胎药物古特马赫研究所这是一个专注于性健康和生殖健康的研究小组。
在上周给ABC新闻的一份声明中，沃尔格林公司说他们已经给每个司法部长发了一封信，确认他们不会在他们的州销售米非司酮
“从一开始，我们就表明了我们的意图，要成为一家获得认证的药店，在法律允许的情况下销售米非司酮，”一位发言人对纽森的决定表示。
这位发言人说，沃尔格林仍然打算获得美国食品和药物管理局的认证，在其他地方分发药物，但还没有这样做。
纽瑟姆一直直言不讳地表示他支持堕胎权。今年夏天，最高法院推翻了罗伊诉韦德案后，他发誓要保护女性和医疗服务提供者。
“加州必须尽一切努力保护加州内外所有女性的基本权利，”纽瑟姆当时表示。“加利福尼亚州将继续成为我们州所有寻求生殖保健服务的妇女的安全避难所。”
美国超过一半的堕胎是药物流产，这意味着它们涉及米非司酮的使用，根据古特马赫研究所。
该药物于2000年由美国美国食品药品监督管理局批准，通过阻断人体继续妊娠所需的孕酮激素而起作用。
这导致子宫内膜停止增厚并破裂，分离胚胎。第二种药物，米索前列醇，在24至48小时后服用，会导致子宫收缩和子宫颈扩张，这将排出胚胎。
Gavin Newsom announces California is 'done' with Walgreens due to abortion pill
California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday the state will not be doing business with Walgreens Boots Alliance over its decision not to dispense anabortion pill.
Last week, the national pharmacy chain said it would not distribute mifepristone in 20 states after conservative attorneys general threatened legal action.
In atweet, Newsom criticized the decision, writing, "California won't be doing business with Walgreens or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk. We're done."
The governor's office did not immediately reply to ABC News' request for comment.
Last month, the group of attorneys general sent a letter to CVS and Walgreens saying that if they sold mifepristone, they would be in violation of the Comstock Act, an 1873 law that makes it illegal to send contraceptives, substances that induce abortion, pornographic content, sex toys and any written material about these items.
Several of the states that signed the letter -- including Alaska, Iowa, Kansas and Montana -- currently allow abortion access, including abortion medication, according to theGuttmacher Institute, a research group focusing on sexual and reproductive health.
In a statement to ABC News last week, Walgreens said it sent a letter to each of the attorneys general confirming it would not sell mifepristone in their states
"From the outset, we have made our intentions clear to become a certified pharmacy to distribute mifepristone wherever legally possible," a spokesperson said about the Newsom decision.
The spokesperson said Walgreen still intends to become certified under an FDA program to dispense the drug elsewhere but has not done so yet.
Newsom has been outspoken about his support of abortion rights. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade over the summer, he vowed to protect both women and healthcare providers.
"California must do everything it can to protect the fundamental rights of all women -- in California and beyond," Newsom said at the time. "California will continue to be a safe haven for all women seeking reproductive healthcare services in our state."
More than half of abortions in the U.S. are medication abortions, meaning they involved the use of mifepristone, according to theGuttmacher Institute.

The drug, which was authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2000, works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which the body needs to continue a pregnancy.
This causes the uterine lining to stop thickening and to break down, detaching the embryo. The second drug, misoprostol, taken 24 to 48 hours later, causes the uterus to contract and dilates the cervix, which will expel the embryo.
