Governor expands abortion, reproductive coverage ANDREW SELSKY ASSOCIATED PRESS Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed into law a bill expanding coverage on abor- tions and other reproductive services to thousands of Oregonians, regardless of income, citizenship status or gender identity. Proponents called it America’s most progressive reproductive health policy. The Pro-Choice Coalition of Oregon said it is the first legislation in the United States to comprehensively address sys- temic barriers to accessing reproduc- tive health care. Chris Pair, Brown’s press secretary, confirmed Brown signed the bill Aug. 15. Opponents have noted it will force taxpayers, even those who object moral- ly to abortions, to assume some of the costs. President Barack Obama’s health care law, which includes minimum coverage requirements for reproductive services. The law allocates almost $500,000 over the next two years to expand cost- free reproductive health coverage, in- cluding abortions, to immigrants who are otherwise ineligible under the state’s Medicaid program, which currently spends nearly $2 million a year to pay for roughly 3,500 abortions statewide. “Brown has enshrined into state law forced abortion funding, including for il- legal aliens, even late-term and sex-se- lective abortions,” Republican state sen- ators Kim Thatcher and Dennis Linthi- cum said in a joint statement. Linthicum predicted lawsuits will be filed over the issue. Oregon’s legislation was introduced largely in response to Republican con- gressional attempts to repeal former DENTAL Insurance Much Physicians Mutual Insurance Company A less expensive way to help get the dental care you deserve Continued from Page 1A If you’re over 50, you can get coverage for No wait for preventive care and no deductibles – you could get a checkup about $1 a day* coffee house for a chat and to apprise us of a cou- ple of those activities: The Apple Tree School Supply Drive, which was on the verge of wrapping up its 17th delivery, and the 25th Annual Community Pic- nic, on tap for Friday. Everyone is invited to stop in at Coolidge- McClaine Park for a meal, mingling, games and en- tertainment 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 25. The day before the pic- nic Jan and other Apple Tree organizers will be having pizza with princi- pals from Silver Falls School District as they de- liver pre-requested school supplies. The sup- plies provide a needed boost at the beginning of the school year for rough- ly 1,000 of the district’s 3,900 students. “The drive has gone pretty well, from what I can tell,” Jan said. “I would normally be pick- ing up the (donation) box- es on Monday, but be- cause of the eclipse I’m going to do that on Tues- day.” A part of Apple Tree in- cluded a presentation committee that met with various civic groups, such as the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs and businesses through the Silverton Chamber of Commerce. In total Apple Tree raised $1,200 through pledges from the presentations. “That money can be used to buy the supplies we don’t get through the (individual Apple Tree) donations,” Jan said, not- ing that school principals provide a “wish list” that the drive uses as its tar- get. “Sometimes it’s (the target) is right on, and sometimes we come up a little short. It’s looking pretty good with what we have now,” Jan said. Big boosts come in var- ious ways; High School Pharmacy, as an example, provided much requested earphones at a signifi- cantly discounted price. “(HS Pharmacy own- er) Jack Holt has always been good about helping us where he can,” Jan said.
