A couple of years ago when Suzanne Weber was running for the Oregon House of Representatives, I contacted her campaign twice to find out where the candidate stood on protecting a woman’s right to choose. No response to either inquiry. Before the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier this year, the writing was on the wall where things were headed in this country with regard to reproductive freedom.
This year, I didn’t bother asking Weber’s campaign, assuming I would not get a response, which of course, speaks for itself.
Fortunately the Democratic Party of Oregon did the leg work this year, sending a mailer reflecting where candidates stand on protecting women’s rights to make decisions about what is best for their bodies. You can see the candidates and their positions on the attached photo.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping away national protection for abortion rights, our state leaders are the last line of defense protecting these rights. I urge you to elect candidates who protect the rights of women to make their own decisions about what is best for their bodies and lives.
