These Walgreens are pharmacies where many homeless get their medications. I’ve seen people in the middle of a mental health episode wander in, and a security calmly “manage” them until the pharmacist can figure out and fill their prescription. These are literally medical facilities being shut down - facilities that serve those most in need. If 17 reproductive health clinics shot down, the feminists would be up in arms. If 17 HIV clinics shut down, gay rights activist would be up in arms. These pharmacies provide birth control, plan b, HIV medication, etc. Not to mention COVID vaccines … This is a crisis, not an inconvenience.

  I guess anything will raise someone’s eyebrows these days, but there’s a long history of those groups supporting those specific causes. To pretend it never happened is to deny credit where credit is due. https://outofthecloset.org/ https://outofthecloset.org/ https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-southern-new-england/newsroom/gloria-steinem-trailblazing-feminist-icon-speaks-at-annual-planned-parenthood-of-southern-new-england-event https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-souther...

  The connection to feminists and access to birth control is well established. Regarding my comment about gay rights groups and HIV, I was specifically thinking of ACT UP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACT_UP https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACT_UP
