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

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.
