Archdiocese of Portland supports the Stop Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act
 
Through the Oregon Health Plan, Oregon taxpayers fund 10 abortions every day. The Archdiocese of Portland supports the Stop Taxpayer Funding for Abortion ballot measure.

If passed, this constitutional amendment would save thousands of lives and spare mothers and families from the ensuing grief that always comes with the death of a child through abortion. According to the Oregon Health Authority, approximately 3,700 abortions were publicly funded through the Oregon Health Plan in fiscal year 2015–’16. Last year, Gov. Kate Brown signed HB 3391 into law to further increase taxpayer-funded abortion and require private health insurers to cover abortion without a copay.
