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!

Unless you have been raped you would not understand that being raped is enough to already make you feel suicidal. For a woman to then find out she was Pregnant through the rapist would be a crime not worth thinking about. It's sickening that there is not more help out there for survivors. This world seriously needs to change. That pill is the least that can be done.

Rape victims have already endured enough. Blocking their access to EC is unconscionable.
