Connecticut state officials mark 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade
Connecticut state officials celebrated the 51st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade landmark decision in Hartford on Monday.
The ruling protected constitutional access to abortion and other reproductive health care rights, until the case was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022.
Remarks from Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz echoed frustrations from advocates of Roe v. Wade.
“To see the last five decades of progress in women’s equality further chipped away is incredibly disappointing and downright infuriating,” said Bysiewicz.
While abortion is safe, legal and protected in Connecticut, it remains restricted or banned in 21 states.

Connecticut Technical Education and Career System under investigation by U.S. Department of Education
(WFSB) – The Connecticut Technical Education and Career System is under investigation by the United States Department of Education.
In a letter sent to the superintendent obtained by Channel 3, the nature of the investigation centers around the district’s handling of rape and/or sexual assault cases by school staff.
“Due to the District’s inaccurate responses to the rape and/or sexual assault data elements involving allegations against school staff of OCR’s 2023–24 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), the directed investigation will examine whether the District has policies and procedures in place to ensure accurate data collection and reporting and that its handling of the sexual harassment, including sexual assault, of students by District teachers, administrators, and/or staff members is consistent with the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) and its implementing regulation,” said the letter in part.
