Oregon House Passes Reproductive Rights Bill

(Salem, OR) -- After more than eight hours of debate, a reproductive rights bill passed the Oregon House Monday night. Democrats argued the bill's mandates to cover gender-affirming care will save lives. Republicans say removal of age limits and allowing children to receive care without parental consent will hurt them. Republicans tried several times to send the bill back to committee, but were defeated by majority Democrats. The bill passed 36-to-23 and moves to the Senate.
