Clearly, the Justice Department reviewed documents highlighting the importance of helping sexual assault victims prevent pregnancy. In light of this evidence, it is troubling that the protocols remain silent on the issue and fail to protect women.
More Quotes from Louise Melling:
Colorado had an opportunity to step up where the federal government has failed women. Emergency contraception is a safe and effective form of birth control that all women should have access to, yet foes of reproductive rights continue to put up roadblocks at every juncture.Louise Melling
It is time for the Department of Justice to be accountable for refusing to do everything it can to protect sexual assault survivors from unintended pregnancy.

Thirty years ago people thought that Roe would be a closed case, yet it is still in the headlines. There is a shifting political phenomenon in America. The fact that we have a hearing on a nominee who has not expressed approval for Roe is because we have a huge debate in the political realm about moral values.

We certainly welcome the decision because it reaffirms that abortion laws have to include exceptions for health. It leaves it open for us to go back down to argue that the legislature intentionally omitted the health exception. We will ask the court to recognize that and strike it down in its entirety.

History has shown us that when women are denied access to abortion they may resort to desperate measures. The women of Mississippi would be better served if the legislature would focus on commonsense solutions aimed at reducing unintended pregnancy such as funding medically accurate sex education and ensuring access to birth control, including emergency contraception.
