GET ME REWRITE: Walgreen's joins the GOP War on Women in Missouri

 
ScreengrabKansas City Star, 9/28/2024
Natasha Ahmed’s patient had miscarried her pregnancy and was bleeding. Using an ultrasound, Ahmed, an obstetrician-gynecologist based on the Kansas side of the metro, judged that some tissue remained in the woman’s uterus. 
They talked through her medical treatment options and together decided on a course of misoprostol, a drug commonly used for miscarriage management, to expel the remaining tissue.  
Ahmed sent a prescription to a Walgreens pharmacy across the state line, in Grandview, and wrapped up her Monday. 
The next morning she found a fax response with a message from an employee at the store: “Under Missouri law medication abortion is now illegal. Please advise patient to fill across Kansas border.”  [emphasis added]
