"Should a rape victim be forced to carry the rapist's baby to term? If a pill, taken shortly after the assault, can prevent pregnancy with minimal side effects...and make an abortion unnecessary, should such birth control be made readily available. Morally, those questions may seem to most people like no-brainers. But in the chambers of the state legislature, the sanctum of the Catholic Church, and the minds of members of groups like Feminists for Life, the answers are anything but clear cut." (CITY NEWSPAPER) This article discusses New York state legislative efforts to mandate that emergency contraception be provided to rape victims in emergency rooms.
