I heart Wisconsin
First they refuse funding or abstinence-only programs because it would limit what they could say about sex (you know, the truth), and now this.
Senate Democrats said Tuesday they would use their new majority to push a bill that had stalled: a mandate forcing hospitals to supply emergency contraception to rape victims.Senate Majority Leader Judy Robson, D-Beloit, said she would revive legislation that would require hospitals to tell rape victims that the morning-after pill is highly effective at preventing pregnancy.
Hospitals would have to dispense the medication if victims requested it.
It’s terrible that hospitals have to be forced to do their jobs and help women—but you gotta do what you gotta do.
