Yesterday, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek declared “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day,” aiming to recognize and honor the work of abortionists in the state. But pro-life Americans are aghast at a day set aside to celebrate killing babies.
“Here in Oregon, we understand that abortion is health care, and providers are appreciated and can continue to provide care without interference and intimidation,” Governor Kotek said.
From a pro-life perspective, this declaration is deeply concerning. Abortion ends an innocent human life, and thus, celebrating those who do abortions contradicts the fundamental value of protecting life at all stages.
Such proclamations may further entrench the normalization of abortion in society. Instead of celebrating abortion providers who snuff out the lives of little babies, efforts should focus on supporting pregnant women through resources and alternatives that affirm life, such as adoption services and comprehensive prenatal care.
And the head of a pro-life group in Oregon panned the whole thing.
Oregon Right to Life Executive Director Lois Anderson responded to the proclamation, calling it “unsurprising but appalling.”
“There is nothing to celebrate about an industry that profits from taking advantage of vulnerable women and ending the lives of innocent human beings under the guise of ‘health care,’” Anderson said. “Oregon Democrats’ continued obsession with abortion until birth is honestly disturbing.”
Last year, Kotek announced she is expanding the state’s supply of the dangerous abortion pill mifepristone in response to Donald Trump’s November 5 reelection.
n April, 2023, Gov. Kotek worked with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to stockpile a three-year supply of “emergency” mifepristone, the governor’s office said in a press release. Now, that cache has been increased and the expiration extended to September, 2028.
Kotek argued that “Oregon is not immune from federal attacks on our reproductive rights.”
“Kotek’s decision to increase Oregon’s stockpile of this dangerous drug serves no purpose but to promote the false and harmful notion that abortion is both a necessary component of women’s healthcare and one that is at risk in our state,” Oregon Right to Life Executive Director Lois Anderson said. “Abortion is tragically legal up to the moment of birth in Oregon for any reason. As pro-life advocates, we obviously hope that the incoming administration will take action to protect the unborn. But given Trump’s comments on the matter, we don’t expect he would pursue the federal ban that Governor Kotek apparently fears.”
Abortions obviously kill babies but they also hurt women.
A 2009 study from Finland found that chemical abortions were associated with an adverse reaction rate four times that of surgical abortions, including an increased risk of hemorrhage and incomplete abortion. And per the FDA, roughly 85% of women who take the abortion pill regimen report at least one adverse reaction. In 2022, two Georgia women died after taking the abortion pill when they suffered incomplete abortions (a known risk) and contracted sepsis.
“Kotek’s rhetoric and actions obscure the fact that mifepristone is dangerous for women and deadly for the unborn,” Anderson said. “The Oregon government should be informing women about these risks instead of stockpiling the drugs and ginning up anxiety.”
“For our part, Oregon Right to Life will continue to raise awareness about the reality of chemical abortion and ensure that pregnant women are connected with real, life-affirming resources, including Abortion Pill Reversal treatment for women who regret taking mifepristone and want to save the precious life they carry,” Anderson added.
If I feared God, I would move out of there. Far.
First they came for the babies and we said nothing. Then they came for us and nobody cared.
Maybe we should celebrate killing Governors.
This foolish governor basks in her pride, but soon, maybe tomorrow, she will appear in God’s courtroom...
She will grovel and wail in terror, as a Mountain of Light looms above her...
God will ask her about her murder of the innocent-
He will also ask, “What did you do with My Son, Jesus Yeshua, the Christ”?
She will then be thrown into a lake of fire, and her screams will never cease. Conservatives and patriots: you are NOT exempt.
What about YOU, reader? Will this be YOUR story?
She’s a lesbo...part of the coven of witches who I swear are running (ruining) this state.
She thinks she is married to another woman
Can we declare “Eradicate a democrat Day?”
That’ll be HER story not MINE!
THIS IS SICK.
WOW.
“She’s a lesbo...part of the coven of witches who I swear are running (ruining) this state.”
I looked her up and she won with 73% of the votes. Her lesbianism means the voters are just as screwed up as she is.
That state has very little hope. It is over.
It’s vote fraud
It’s been vote fraud since mail in voting started.
2024 election by counties:

The blue counties are full democrat infiltrators from other blue states.
Gov. Kotex is FROM CA!
A “successful” abortion always has at least one death. That’s some helluva healthcare.
She is a leader in the culture of death and ... sadly ... does not even know it.
Looked it up where? Wikipedia shows her at 46.96%. Drazen put up a good fight.
This thread reads like a goofy religious tract, already. Why throw in overt lies?
True, the blue areas are full of college students from out of State in many cases.
Hm. Very few pictures of this person available. Does appear to have been born female.
So, the shredding of a pre-born human in the womb is healthcare? Right. Classic leftist "logic."
Now let's apply this "logic" elsewhere. Here we go!: Eating 12 cheeseburgers and four gallons of ice cream per day is dieting. Sh*tting on a piece of canvas is creating Fine Art. Men who wear makeup and dresses are women. . . on and on I could go.
Leftists are envious, destructive, murderous, demonic, anti-human pigs whose participation must be minimized in whatever society they live in. A pox on ALL of them.
