State Attorney General Letitia James is reminding pharmacies it is illegal to deny customers reproductive health care prescriptions.
James sent letters to CVS and Walgreens after she heard reports that employees in other states were refusing to give customers birth control and several other forms of contraceptives. She's also requesting these pharmacies give her more information about what's considered timely in fulfilling a prescription and training policies regarding refusals and related policies. The AG recently launched a hotline to provide legal guidance regarding reproductive health care and it can be reached by calling 212-899-5567.
