Dear John, We're less than four months out from the Oregon March for Life! There are some big changes I want to tell you about. First, yes, this is the same event as our formerly titled Roe v. Wade Memorial & March. We felt the name was somewhat confusing and wanted to make it crystal clear to passersby where we stand on this issue. Second, yes, we're back in Salem. Next year marks Oregon Right to Life's 50th year in advocacy. Abortion came to Oregon through the Oregon State Capitol in 1969 with Senate Bill 193. A handful of concerned advocates banded together and started ORTL the next year. We've been working in this building for 50 years and will continue as long as it takes to end legal abortion. Our featured speaker will be Dr. Karen Gaffney! If you haven't heard of her, start with her TED Talk here. Mark your calendar for January 25, 2020. See you there. Because everyone deserves an advocate, Lois Anderson P.S. Saturday is our annual auction and dinner for our educational efforts. If you can't join us, please purchase a raffle ticket! The pool is small and the prizes are big! |
