protected by some form of contraception at the time 
of the attack. 
(5) It is estimated that approximately 7,216 
rape-related pregnancies occurred in 2006, based on 
such data. 
(6) Timely access to emergency contraception 
could help many of these rape survivors avoid the 
additional trauma of facing an unintended preg-
nancy. 
(7) In light of the safety and effectiveness of 
emergency contraception pills, both the American 
Medical Association and the American College of 
Obstetricians and Gynecologists have endorsed more 
widespread availability of such pills to women of all 
ages. 
(8) The American College of Emergency Physi-
cians and the American College of Obstetricians and 
Gynecologists agree that offering emergency contra-
ception to female patients after a sexual assault 
should be considered the standard of care. 
(9) The Food and Drug Administration has de-
clared emergency contraception to be safe and effec-
tive in preventing unintended pregnancy if taken in 
the first 72 hours of sex.
