Connecticut's
Political Landscape |
Connecticut is a state that continuously receives an
"A" rating by
NARAL Pro-Choice
America. PPCPPF is working with other pro-choice
organizations to keep it that way and preserve
pro-choice policy in our state. Planned Parenthood’s
2007 legislative agenda included passing a bill
which would require all publicly funded hospitals in
Connecticut provide emergency contraception to
victims of rape.

for more information about this bill.
The Connecticut legislative session began on
February 6, 2008 and Planned Parenthood of CT Public
Policy Fund will be working on key issues protecting
reproductive health and rights. We need your support
during this session as we advocate and promote
strong policy to preserve and protect rights. Some
of the issues we will be focusing on include:
•
The Healthy Teens Act
will ensure that Connecticut’s youth have
access to medically accurate, age-appropriate sex
education providing them with the necessary skills
to make safe and responsible choices surrounding
their sexual health. For more info on the bill,

•
Anti-discrimination
legislation which would include gender
identity and expression in Connecticut's
non-discrimination laws.
• Defend and protect reproductive rights and work to
prevent obstacles or legislation that would harm
access and delivery of reproductive health care and
abortion.
