B6 News wallowa.com October 10, 2018 MEASURE 106 Wallowa County Chieftain MEASURE 105 Abortion funding ‘Sanctuary’ law faces contested on ballot repeal in November By Antonio Sierra Abortion will be on the Oregon ballot in Novem- ber with Measure 106, which would ban the state from using taxpayer money for abortions. Currently, Oregon taxpay- ers are on the hook for abor- tions for women on the Ore- gon Health Plan, Oregon’s version of Medicaid for peo- ple in poverty. According to The Oregonian, a pub- lic records request revealed during 2015-2016 the Oregon Health Plan paid $2.4 million for 3,769 abortions. Measure 106 would no lon- ger allow state tax revenue to go toward funding abortions except in cases of rape, incest, ectopic pregnancies or when a qualified physician determines the mother will be seriously harmed or killed by continu- ing the pregnancy. It would affect the Oregon Health Plan and state employees who receive their health insurance through the state. Depending on how the law is interpreted, it could also affect coverage for public employees such as teachers. Supporters of the measure say no one should be forced by the government to pay for something they find morally reprehensible. Peggy Willis, a member of Pendleton’s Right to Life chapter, believes “in life from the time of concep- tion until natural death.” “I believe life is a God- given gift, and it isn’t up to anybody to pull the plug,” she said. To her, and many more like her around the state, abortion is taking an innocent life. Wil- lis said while there are some cases where a woman’s life is in danger, in many cases women don’t want to have a baby because it would be “inconvenient” or they don’t want to raise a child with a dis- ability like Down Syndrome. The idea of any of her taxes funding abortion is difficult for her to think about. “I do not believe we should have to pay to kill the baby,” she said. Deanna Leonard of Herm- iston’s Right to Life group said she feels Measure 106 is not extreme. Instead, she said, it protects Oregonians’ rights not to pay for something they find “horrific.” “People can still get an abortion for any reason they choose, they just can’t do it with my tax money,” she said. Opponents of Measure 106 take a different view. They say Measure 106 is a “backdoor ban on abortion” that blocks access to medical care for low-income women. An Do, communications director for the anti-106 coa- lition No Cuts to Care, said the measure would essen- tially create two categories of access to “the full spectrum of reproductive care” based on a woman’s income level. She said that women who are on the Oregon Health Plan often have the biggest barriers to accessing health care, and the measure could put an abortion out of their reach. “A right is not a right unless you can afford to access it,” she said. Measure 106 would be a step in the opposite direction for Oregon, she said, which has a long history of protect- ing abortion access. The state has no laws requiring waiting periods, ultrasounds, counseling, parental permission or other requirements often imposed by states, and does not ban late-term abortions provided after the fetus would be via- ble outside the womb. Last year, the legislature passed the Reproductive Health Equity Act, which requires all insur- ance plans in Oregon to fully cover the cost of abortions with no co-pay. Do said restrictions on abortion access take away a woman’s right to choose when to start a family. “Abortion is a really per- sonal, serious medical deci- sion that should be kept between a woman and her doctor,” Do said. Previous ballot measures attempting to place limits on abortion have failed, but Do said the coalition of organiza- tions against Measure 106 will not be complacent in fighting the proposed constitutional amendment all the way to Election Day. 101 Legal Notices 101 Legal Notices 101 Legal Notices By Jade Mcdowell EO Media Group PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the undersigned has been appointed personal representative.

Case no. 18PB06118 NOTICE TO INTERESTED PERSONS $40/year $40 In the month following the 2016 presidential elec- tion, Selene Torres-Medrano helped organize an immigra- tion forum at Umatilla High School. Torres-Medrano said the audience filled the cafeteria to hear from local leaders on the issue, including Umatilla County Sheriff Terry Rowan. She said Rowan assured the crowd that his deputies would not target undocu- mented immigrants. Rowan made comments similar to Torres-Medrano’s recollection when he was run- ning for re-election the previ- ous spring. “If you’re calling as a vic- tim and (local law enforce- ment and dispatchers) start asking about your legal-ness in this country, I should know about it,” he told the Hermis- ton Hispanic Advisory Com- mittee in April 2016. A 31-year-old state law prevents state and local law enforcement from using resources to enforce federal immigration law if a person’s only crime is their legal sta- tus, but a measure on the November ballot looks to change that. In August, Rowan signed onto a public letter written by Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin supporting Measure 105, which would repeal Ore- gon’s “sanctuary state” law.

That is the population that we’re trying to get at.” The daughter of an undoc- umented mother, Torres-Me- drano remembers trips to the grocery store were canceled and driving would cease if her family suspected U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was in town. “We were told not to go outside if there were rumors that ICE was around,” she said.

Sanctuary status Oregon’s “sanctuary state” law may prevent police from engaging in immigra- tion enforcement, but it has several exceptions. Law enforcement can still “exchange information” with ICE or another federal immi- gration enforcement agency to verify an individual’s immigration status if they’re arrested for a criminal offense or request criminal investiga- tion information, Local law enforcement can also still arrest people with criminal violations of federal immigration law and execute warrants related to immigration crimes issued by federal courts. 101 Legal Notices This is an action for Judicial Foreclosure of real property com- monly known as 505 VIKING DR, ENTERPRISE, OR 97828 A motion or answer must be given to the court clerk or ad- ministrator within 30 days of the date of the first publication specified herein along with the required filing fee.
