Help Rape Survivors Get the Health Care They Need
Target: US House of RepresentativesSponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
Did you know that many emergency rooms fail to offer important medication to sexual-assault survivors that would prevent pregnancy?
This medication called emergency contraception (EC) or Plan B, is a concentrated dose of ordinary birth-control pills. These simple pills could spare assault victims from additional trauma and health complications, beginning at their hospital visit.
New legislation called Compassionate Assistance for Rape Emergencies Act ("CARE": H.R.464) would ensure that access to EC is included as standard care for rape survivors.
Help ensure that these women have a chance to be safe and healthy again. Ask your members of Congress today to pass the CARE Act today!

AIDS is out there and all diseases plus unwanted kids. I think there should be SOME protection for the victim and not always the criminal!

Such an option would prevent further trauma to such victims, and reduce the need for abortions.
