Good news on the situation in Oregon, where pro-life Republican state senators staged a walk-out to stop extreme pro-abortion legislation. The parties reached a compromise. The bill now requires that parents give consent before a daughter under fifteen can have an abortion. Pro-abortion Democrats also dropped their efforts to repeal the crime of “concealing the death of an infant,” and they removed taxpayer-funded grants to provide chemical abortion pills on college campuses. Democrats also agreed to kill an amendment to the state constitution to create a right to unrestricted abortion on demand. See just how radical this legislation was? Considering the political climate in Oregon, this is a significant victory for LIFE. Our thanks to these Republicans who took a bold stand for life.
