Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit NARAL Pro-Choice America's Choice Action Network.

The short explanation of this alert was:

The Assembly Judiciary Committee voted 6-4 to destroy the Compassionate Care for Rape Victims bill (SB 129/AB 377) by attaching a horrible amendment rolling back the rights of rape victims. 

Your representative voted to preserve the Compassionate Care for Rape Victims bill in its original form.

The original version of Compassionate Care would require all of Wisconsin's emergency rooms to provide information about and access to emergency birth control for rape victims.  Currently, only one-third of Wisconsin's emergency rooms have a policy of dispensing emergency birth control to rape victims.

However, the amendment would allow hospitals to withhold information about and access to emergency contraception from rape victims – without any recourse for victims.

Speak out! Thank your state representative for being one of four Judiciary Committee members to vote against Gundrum's amendment.
