An Act Concerning Compassionate Care for Victims of Sexual Assault was signed by Governor Rell on May 16th, and goes into effect on Monday, October 1, 2007. The new law ensures a consistent and compassionate standard of care at all of Connecticut’s hospitals regarding the provision of emergency contraception. Women who survive rape will now have the legal right to be offered and have access to the full dose of emergency contraception on-site at any one of the hospitals in Connecticut that they may turn to for help.
