'A courageous move': Advocates hail Costco's decision not to sell abortion pill at pharmacies

Christian conservative groups and pro-life organizations are celebrating after Costco Wholesale announced that it will not sell the abortion pill mifepristone in any of its pharmacy stores in the United States, citing a "lack of demand."

The members-only warehouse retailer released a statement last week explaining it does not plan to sell the drug following calls by conservative groups for the company to refuse to do so.

"Our position at this time not to sell mifepristone, which has not changed, is based on the lack of demand from our members and other patients, who we understand generally have the drug dispensed by their medical providers," Costco said, as reported by Reuters.

Concerned Women for America, a Christian conservative activist group that promotes biblical values in public policy, considers Costco's decision a "win" for women and babies and a "great example for other businesses" to show they value human life.
