Effect Of Roe Vs. Wade Ruling - Pharmacies Ration Contraceptive Pills - Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA), Walmart (NYSE:WMT)

Major pharmacies like CVS Health Corp CVS, Walmart Inc WMT, and Rite Aid Corporation RAD have put a limit on purchases or deliveries of Plan B and other emergency contraceptive pills, writes Wall Street Journal.
The move comes as demand for contraceptive pills spiked following the Supreme Court ruling overturning a constitutional right to abortion. These were in short supply or out of stock on major retailer websites.
As per the report, CVS and Rite Aid were limiting purchases to three.
