Charlie Conrad defeated!
A year ago, Oregon Right to Life PAC announced a campaign to defeat Representative Charlie Conrad (R-Dexter). Conrad was the only Republican in the legislature to vote in favor of HB 2002.
In the primary election, pro-life and ORTL PAC-endorsed candidate Darin Harbick scored a decisive win against Conrad in House District 12, defeating the incumbent in his re-election bid with an overwhelming 83 percent of the vote. Harbick was among six ORTL PAC-endorsed state representative candidates who won pro-life victories in contested races.

Celebrate Life Month is here
This June, for the first time ever, Oregon Right to Life is hosting an entire month of action to inspire, mobilize, and grow the pro-life movement across our state.
“Celebrate Life Month” is comprised of four themed weeks, providing a flexible framework to help you make a difference for life in your community.
During each week of Celebrate Life Month, Oregon Right to Life is encouraging pro-life groups and individuals to not only get involved in pro-life action, but also to share your involvement with us. By proclaiming your pro-life action far and wide, you can inspire others to do the same, creating a network of care, support, and community outreach to protect the most vulnerable.
Learn more and get involved here.

Our first March for Life in May!
Pro-life advocates from across Oregon joined us outside the State Capitol in Salem on May 18th to participate in the annual Oregon March for Life. The sun was out, spirits were high, and everyone was ready to make a joyful noise to celebrate life and promote protections for our state’s most vulnerable.
This year’s March – held for the first time in May to mark the approximate date that Oregon legalized abortion in 1969 – featured speeches by Portland Archbishop Alexander Sample, ORTL President Melody Durrett, OSU Pro-Life Student Alliance leader Rebecca Lang, former Senate leader Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend), New Hope Christian College VP of Academic Affairs Dr. Donald Grafton, and ORTL executive director Lois Anderson.
Our first Pro-Life Communities Guide is out!
On June 5th, volunteers picked up packets of material to deliver to churches in Deschutes County for our Pro-Life Communities Project. Each packet contained:
- Three of our brand-new Deschutes County Resource Guides.
- A handout explaining what the resource guides are and how churches can use them.
- A flyer with statistics about abortion and the church (to help churches understand the importance – and urgency – of being involved in pro-life advocacy).
- A form they can use to join our church referral network – a private list of churches that are willing to provide a community of support for women and families in need. We will use this list to refer individuals to a local faith community to receive a broad network of support.
Volunteers went to churches, and if someone was available, they introduced themselves and talked about the packet. If the office was closed, they left the packet at the door.
We’re focusing on getting these resource guides to churches first because they are on the ground serving in our Oregon communities. A vetted list of pro-life resources helps them direct women and families to life-affirming care and helps them catch the vision for just how much of a difference our pro-life communities can make in this state.
