As part of the national #STOPTHEBANS Day of Action on May 21, NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon and partners turned out 5,000 activists, local leaders, and pro-choice supporters for a rally in downtown Portland in response to the wave of abortion bans sweeping the country.
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon Board Member Julia Goodman, PhD, MPH presented the results of a recent mixed-methods evaluation of Multnomah County’s two-year-old paid parental leave policy to Multnomah County Commissioners. Findings show how family-friendly policies are not only good for employee morale, but improve an employers’ ability to recruit and retain talent.
Candidates are committed to expanding sexual health and education access in schools
Governor Kate Brown among the 53 NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon PAC endorsed candidates who won in 2018. NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon also had a 100% record on endorsed positions on ballot measures, including the defeat of Measure 106, a dangerous backdoor ban on abortion.
It is now clear that Buehler told anti-abortion supporters he would ban 80 percent of abortions statewide.
