MADISON - Wisconsin has fined 22 hospitals in recent years for not complying with a law requiring them to offer emergency contraception to rape victims.continue at JS
The 2008 law requires emergency rooms to give sexual assault victims information about the so-called “morning-after pill,” to provide the drugs on request, and to train staff about the drugs.
The hospitals include SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison, which was fined $7,500 in 2015, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Sunday. The Department of Human Services said the hospital failed in 2014 to inform three sexual assault patients about emergency contraception or make it available to them.

Yah. Abp Dolan sat on his hands when that bill was in motion. Not a peep from him.
You would have thought that the stupid Republicans would have had this on their list to repeal, but after Act 10, not much worth noting gets done anymore. And why are they enforcing the fines?
