Dear John,

Oregon Right to Life is as busy as ever this summer!

During June, pro-life advocates like you took action for babies and families during our first annual Celebrate Life Month.

This month, our Community Outreach team is actively recruiting, training, and equipping volunteers to spread the pro-life message far and wide at county fairs all across Oregon.

Learn more about our pro-life fair booths and sign up to volunteer.

Increasingly, all eyes in Oregon and across the country are now turned to national politics as the race for the White House heats up.

THREE big developments have already taken place after the Republican National Convention kicked off Monday:

1. The Republican Party officially nominated Donald Trump.
2. Trump chose Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance, a fierce opponent of Ohio’s abortion amendment, as his running mate.
3. Republicans adopted the new GOP Platform, which contains a shortened statement on abortion that has generated controversy but leaves a pathway open for future pro-life protections.

Here at Oregon Right to Life, we recognize that what happens at the national level significantly impacts us here at the state level. That’s why we’re closely watching and reporting on the national developments as they occur with the help of our generous supporters.

And, of course, we’re not just tracking the national news. 

Right here in Oregon, groups including Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon are launching an effort to make abortion a constitutionally protected “right” even though elective abortion is already legal in our state until the moment of birth.

There’s so much going on in Oregon and across the country.

Today and every day, Oregon Right to Life is committed to protecting the most vulnerable, engaging the local community to make a difference for life, and keeping you informed all along the way.

Your help and involvement make it all possible.

Please consider making a one-time or monthly commitment today to chip in. 

We are profoundly grateful for the support of pro-life advocates like you who dedicate your time and treasure to this vital mission. 

Because everyone deserves an advocate,

Lois Anderson
Executive Director
