  • 2018 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD a Note from Our Executive Director
    2018 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD A Note from Our Executive Director Welcome to our 2018 Legislative Scorecard. This year will mark NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut’s 40th anniversary as an advocate for reproductive freedom here in the Nutmeg State. As we reflect on how far we have come, we are proud of our state’s strong history of protecting reproductive rights. This includes being one of a handful of states to have codified Roe v. Wade in our state statutes, recognizing the constitutional right of individuals to access abortion, a fact that is more important now than ever before. But increased attacks on reproductive freedom at the federal level have led to an emboldened anti- choice movement here in Connecticut. Many of our legislators responded to these threats by introducing and cosponsoring legislation intended to protect our reproductive healthcare and rights. The bills we supported and that are included in this scorecard also highlight the intersectional lens that advocacy for reproductive freedom requires, a position championed by many of our pro-choice legislators. Though some of these pieces of legislation failed to pass, our guide lists those legislators who supported these bills by introducing them, cosponsoring them, or voting in their favor in the Connecticut House or Senate. We are particularly proud of the work legislators did in passing H.B. 5210, codifying in state law the 10 Essential Health Benefits and women’s preventive services outlined in the ACA, which was recently signed into law by Governor Malloy. We were also pleased to see our bill on fake women’s health centers reach a public hearing.

We appreciate the time and effort that you have put forth in creating your campus reopening plans. While not comprehensive, the list that follows comprises many of the suggestions we heard during the hearing: • Taking temperatures of all persons entering campus buildings, residential and academic • Increased testing for faculty, staff and all students, including at the Community Colleges • Pooling testing to reduce costs (UConn model) • Increased options for faculty and staff to work and teach virtually without the need to share private medical information • Increased flexibility in how professors teach their classes • Increased flexibility in teaching platforms and use of technology • Increased IT support for virtual learning platforms We respectfully request that you consider implementing these suggestions to help keep students, faculty and staff safe after reopening our public college campuses. To assist with the implementation of these recommendations, we request that you seek additional CARES Act funding through the Governor's office. We look forward to hearing from you with implementation plans. If you choose not to implement any of these ideas, we would appreciate hearing the rationale for your decision.
