House Bill 3391 Forces Coverage of Abortion
and Expands Taxpayer-Funded Abortion
UPDATED 8/15/17

The day after our country celebrated Independence Day, the Oregon State Legislature passed a bill that has more to do with force than it does with freedom.  House Bill 3391, which has now been signed into law by Governor Brown, forces insurance companies to cover abortion on demand and it forces all Oregon taxpayers to help finance an extremist abortion agenda that does not enjoy majority support.

Oregonians opposed to House Bill 3391 should lend their support to the Stop Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.
