  • Walgreens says it will sell abortion ills in states where it is "legally permissible to do so."
  • The drugstore had assured Kansas' attorney general that it wouldn't provide Mifepristone in the state. 
  • The mixed messaging sparked fury from abortion rights groups and calls for boycotts.

Following nationwide calls to boycott Walgreens, the drugstore chain clarified its decision on selling abortion pills, saying it will distribute Mifepristone — the drug approved by the FDA to abort a pregnancy — "in any jurisdiction where it is legally permissible to do so."

But the new statement may not be enough to quell outrage as the pharmacy lands square in the middle of the country's contentious abortion debate.
