Press Release

Today NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon‘s Political Action Committee (PAC) proudly announces endorsements for 54 candidates seeking office in November’s election for the Oregon State Legislature, as well as local races in Lane, Marion, and Washington counties. The endorsements come at a critical time, with NARAL supporters engaged in stopping Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court and the No Cuts to Care campaign to defeat Measure 106 in Oregon.

Yesterday Knute Buehler released a new television ad attempting to cover up his record of voting against expanding access to reproductive health care; protecting a woman’s right to safe, legal abortion; and expanding healthcare access for low-income families. Leaders from NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon PAC and Planned Parenthood PAC of Oregon strongly condemn ad, titled “Our Bodies,” as misleading and irresponsible.

Following serious allegations of groping and subsequent ‘victim shaming,’ NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon PAC has withdrawn all support and is calling on Dr. Nathan Boddie to drop out of the race for Oregon's House District 54.

Today, Justice Kennedy announced his retirement from the Supreme Court. With President Trump set to nominate the next Supreme Court justice as soon as this fall, the constitutionally guaranteed right to access legal abortion is in dire, immediate danger.

Willamette Week Article: Grayson Dempsey acknowledges the nuances of reproductive rights can be confusing and that there is no single definition of "pro-choice," but she points to two votes Buehler cast against bills that would have solidified women's access to abortion.
