Dear John,

I have some disappointing (but sadly not surprising) news.

This week, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield added [[link removed]] Oregon to a multistate lawsuit in an attempt to stop the federal defunding of Planned Parenthood by the Trump administration.

Of course, we vehemently oppose Oregon’s inclusion in this badly considered lawsuit.

Rayfield, Governor Tina Kotek, and their allies at Planned Parenthood are seeking to override the will of the people and keep taking money out of taxpayers’ pockets to fund hundreds of thousands of abortions every year across the country.

In their lawsuit, Oregon’s pro-abortion leaders repeat the abortion industry’s claims that defunding Planned Parenthood would put low-income women at risk and prevent them from receiving necessary, non-abortion medical services.

But that’s just not true.

Abortion is never [[link removed]] medically necessary and Planned Parenthood facilities provide [[link removed]] a vanishingly small percentage of non-abortion-related medical services – all of which are available to Oregonians (with or without insurance) at other clinics throughout the state.

This isn’t about cancer screenings or STI testing.

Planned Parenthood is an abortion business. It exists to take advantage of women and families and to end the lives of innocent unborn babies.

Defunding Planned Parenthood, a business that profits from offering death as a solution and convincing vulnerable women they can’t rise above their challenges to choose life, is the right move.

We look forward to a strong ruling that upholds the right of the American people, through their elected representatives, to defund Planned Parenthood in the interest of moms, families, and babies nationwide.

Because everyone deserves an advocate,

Lois Anderson

Executive Director
