Abortion Protesters Gather Outside Deschutes Co. Courthouse

More than 200 people protested in front of the Deschutes County Courthouse Tuesday evening in support of abortion rights. Congressional Candidate Jamie McLeod-Skinner and Josie Stanfield with the Central Oregon Diversity Project addressed the crowd along with speakers from Saving Grace. Organizer Melissa Adams told Central Oregon Daily News, the possibility of Roe vs. Wade being overturned is a matter of life and death. She called the protest a means to celebrate resistance and persistence in the face of adversity.
