The Supreme Court returned women’s reproductive health care decisions to the states. Republican state legislatures and courts have since restricted women’s right to make their own reproductive decisions.

As a result, Oregon’s state government will decide whether Oregonian women have the right to make their own decisions about their health care. Currently we do! But, if Republicans control our House, Senate, and governorship, would that freedom continue?

We should know whether candidates for our Legislature support a woman’s right to make her own reproductive health care decisions, or would they curtail that right by passing restrictions on abortions.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stated, after a history of flip-flops, that he believes the states should decide on reproductive health care for women. Would Kim Wallan, if elected to a state House Republican majority, restrict abortion rights as her colleagues have done across the country, or would she maintain the current rules?
