Massachusetts Hospitals Breaking the Law

Reports have been given that several Massachusetts hospitals have been refusing to administer emergency contraceptives to their patients. A 2005 state law makes it illegal to refuse a request for abortion or emergency contraception, if the woman is within the legal time limit. Staff at Caritas Holy Family Hospital may have told a rape counselor that they do not provide the treatment, even for rape victims.

The spokespeople for the hospital maintain that they have followed all rules and regulations, regarding the victims of sexual assault and rape and have administered the necessary emergency contraceptive treatments. If you have been a victim of rape and were refused medication or an abortion, contact the law office of Kerstein, Coren & Lichtenstein LLP.
