As the reproductive rights of women in the US are increasingly threatened, the state of Oregon has defied the political landscape and expanded access to abortion, birth control and post-natal medical care for women.

The passing of ‘the nation’s most progressive reproductive health policy’ has given state-funded access to repro­­ductive healthcare services to residents previously barred by regulations related to citizenship status and income. The Reproductive Health Equity Act (House Bill 3391) also bans discrimination against trans or LGBT+ people.
