Oregon Lawmakers Vote to Bail Out Planned Parenthood
23rd July 2017
The demand for abortion in Oregon is going down, so why do pro-abortion lawmakers there seem so determined to increase it?
From 2011 to 2014, Oregon saw a 15 percent decline in the number of abortions.
It also saw a 7 percent decline in the number of abortion providers.
But, apparently that isn’t a trend line pro-abortion politicians want to see continue.
When it comes to restrictions on abortion, Oregon already has very few.
It has no parental consent or even parental notification laws. There are no mandated counseling or waiting periods for women seeking abortions. There are no additional regulations on facilities performing abortions to increase safety or ambulance-ready requirements.
And, unlike 43 other states that restrict abortion after either 20 weeks or after an unborn child can live outside the womb, Oregon allows abortions up until the moment of birth.
As a matter of fact, the only “restriction” on abortion in Oregon is that it isn’t free—for everyone.
So state lawmakers recently passed legislation to ensure that it is.
