The state of Oregon is looking to expand abortion clinic capacities and increase staffing along with helping women travel to the state for pregnancy terminations if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, a Democrat, said the state needs to be national leader in favor of abortion rights. “This is an ‘all-hands on deck’ moment,” Rosenblum said Thursday, May 19. “Oregon can and must continue to be a leader for reproductive justice. I pledge to work alongside our elected champions and community partners to help keep Oregon a safe and welcoming place for anyone from anywhere who seeks access to abortion care.”
