Abortion is legal until birth in Oregon.
Since 1992, scores of restrictions have been passed in the country, with the notable exception of Oregon.
Our state does not have a single restriction on abortion. Not only is it legal to have an abortion any time up until the moment of birth in our state, Oregonian taxpayers are also forced to fund more than 50% of all abortions.
