Costco will not sell the abortion pill mifepristone at its pharmacy locations, the shopping club told CBS News. The wholesaler said its decision not to sell the prescription medication was based on a "lack of demand from our members and other patients."

Costco Wholesale said on Thursday it will stop selling abortion pill mifepristone across all its U.S. pharmacy stores, citing low demand.

Costco received pressure from groups on both sides of the issue, many of them investors in the nationwide grocery giant.
