CVS limiting morning-after pill purchases to avoid shortage
CBSN
CVS said on Monday that was temporarily limiting purchases of the morning-after pill to three boxes per transaction to avoid a shortage in the wake of the recent Supreme Court revocation of the constitutional right to abortion.
In a statement, the drugstore chain said it had "ample supply" of Plan B and Aftera, two products intended to be taken by women to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if a birth control method fails.
The drugs -- commonly known as morning-after pills -- are distinct from abortion drugs, which terminate pregnancies.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launched six space tourists on a high-speed dash to the edge of space and back Friday, giving the passengers — including a husband and wife making their second flight — about three minutes of weightlessness and an out-of-this world view before the capsule made a parachute descent to touchdown at the company's west Texas flight facility.
