nications directed to consumers through the media or 
through a label, labeling, or advertising, that a to-
bacco product is approved or inspected by the Food

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Compassionate Assist-
ance for Rape Emergencies Act of 2009’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) One out of every 6 American women will be-
come a victim of rape or sexual assault in their life-
time. It is estimated that 12,700,000 American 
women today are survivors of these violent crimes. 
(2) The Federal Bureau of Investigation re-
ports that 90,427 women were raped in 2006. This 
statistic is derived from records of crimes reported 
to law enforcement and does not include reports of 
other actions falling under the broader term of ‘‘sex-
ual assault’’. 
(3) The 2006 violent crime report issued by the 
Bureau of Justice Statistics indicates that only a 
minority, 41.4 percent, of rapes and sexual assaults 
perpetrated against women and girls in the United 
States were reported to law enforcement. For this 
reason, the total number of these violent crimes 
committed in a given year is likely to be much high-
er. 
(4) According to a 2003 analysis of data col-
lected by the National Violence Against Women Sur-
vey, the risk of pregnancy resulting from rape is es-
