The Roman Catholic Church here in CT is not allowing rape victims access to Emergency Contraception and the state's victim's advocate, a deacon in the RC Church, has testified against a bill that would require Catholic hospitals to do so as "an attack on religious freedom."

Joe LIeberman has taken a stand in this on the side of the church. It's also getting into the upcoming gubernatorial campaign, with Governor Jodi Rell saying she says the bill might not be necessary.

What is really outrageous is that Catholic hospitals say they won't give EC to a rape victim who is ovulating.

Hope my link is sufficient so you can all read this story. If not you can go to www.nhregister.com but you will have to register. Here's hoping. It's some story!
