Rep. Pam Marsh provided this heartfelt guest opinion about her Saturday vote for the Reproductive Health Equity Act.

“It is time to double down on our efforts to provide Oregon women with access to reproductive services.

In short, HB 3391B ensures that cost alone will never keep a woman from receiving services, regardless of citizenship status, ability to pay or gender identity.”
