In Alabama, Delaware, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas, pharmacists are allowed to refuse but may not obstruct access to the medication. Eight states — California, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, Washington and Wisconsin — have laws requiring pharmacists to provide medication to patients.
