Current Laws

Emergency Contraception for Rape Victims

In 2007, Connecticut passed a law requiring Emergency Departments to offer and provide victims of sexual assault with emergency contraception in the ER at which they arrive. 
 
This legislation, entitled "Compassionate Care for Rape Victims", took two years to be voted into law.  During the 2007 Public Hearing in the Human Services Committee, anti-choice lawmakers equated Emergency Contraception with abortion and weighed the rights of victims against those of Catholics. 
 
"Compassionate Care for Rape Victims" is landmark legislation that has been replicated in other states throughout the United States.
