$10 million Reproductive Health Equity Act approved with no GOP votes, advances to state Senate
An Oregon bill requiring insurers to provide their customers with free abortionsincluding illegal immigrantshas advanced to the state Senate after winning approval Saturday in the state House with no Republican votes.
House Democrats pushed through the Reproductive Health Equity Act after a nearly two-hour debate over the bill, which would allocate $10.2 million for services related to contraception, sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, including vasectomies and abortions, in the 2017-19 budget period.
About $500,000 would be earmarked for the Oregon Health Plan, the states Medicaid program, for the estimated 22,873 women who would be eligible except for their immigration status.
Affordable access to reproductive health care shouldnt depend on who you are, where you live, or how much you earn, tweeted Democratic state Rep. Julie Fahey after the vote.
Republicans tried but failed to block the measure with a motion to send it back to committee. The bill passed 33-23 as Democrats hurried to move H.B. 3391 before the end of the legislative session on July 10.
Oregon is once again leading the way on health care! said Oregon House Democrats in a statement after the vote.

Did they include a provision to pile up the skulls of the aborted into large public mounds to honor the god Moloch?
It’s Oregon! We’re lucky they didn’t require abortions to save the earth.
A damn shame. Most of Oregon is a beautiful place, especially along the coast and the forests of pine trees as far as the eyes can see.. Gonna have to rename ‘Eugene’ to ‘Eugenics’ for starters.

Why don’t they just demand abortionists do them for free?
How can they require people to pay for a “constitutional right”?
12 planned parenthood in Oregon. Defund all of them since they want to pay for it themselves.
I think their are a lot of people in Illinois ,California,New York......who would agree with you.
The Democrats are the Party of the Adversary. Call it/him Satan, or by any of a thousand names for the personification of entropy, they have no connection with Divinity. They are damned.

Yeah, nothing says ‘health’ like ripping human babies apart.
Well, they obviously hate Anchor Babies, friggin Bigots.
Oregon is controlled by Portland. Portland is the most atheist city in the US, is tops in human trafficking on the West Coast, most politically violent, and they would like to keep it that way.
As Jonathon Gruber would say, stupid Portland voters.
If there is going to be a major earthquake...
