After Trump's election win, Gov. Tina Kotek (D-Ore) ordered the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to increase its stockpile of mifepristone to last until to September, 2028. Kotek described the expansion as "a defense against federal attacks on our reproductive rights."
For all the wailing coming from the left after the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision creating a nationwide right to an abortion with its 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, the number of abortions has increased from an average of 84,000 per month to a current average of 100,000 per month. So-called reproductive rights are now more readily available than ever.
The availability of the non-surgical option offered by mifepristone now accounts for about 60% of all abortions. While easy and convenient, drug-induced abortions are not without risk. They are associated with an adverse reaction rate four times that of surgical abortions, including an increased risk of hemorrhage and incomplete abortion. The FDA says about 85% of women who use this method report at least one adverse reaction.
While the Governor acknowledged that "Trump has no authority to override the Supreme Court's determination that the issue is one for each state to decide for itself, we must be prepared for any scheme aimed at reducing the number of abortions he might concoct to increase the number of babies born. One such scheme that is currently in place gives taxpayers extra deductions for each child they have. It's sneaky and unfair to childless women who don't get any tax deductions for the children they abort."

Trump has no authority to override the Supreme Court’s determination that the issue is one for each state to decide for itself,
