We are two of the 13 Oregon state senators denying quorum, thereby preventing the legislative chamber from holding votes on legislation.
Staff enter the senate offices at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, Ore., Thursday, May 4, 2023. Republican members of the Oregon Senate on Thursday extended their boycott of Senate proceedings into a second day, delaying action by the majority Democrats on bills on gun safety, abortion rights and gender-affirming health care. e are two of the 13 Oregon state senators denying quorum, thereby preventing the legislative chamber from holding votes on legislation.
Without the first walkout in Oregon’s history in 1897, we may not have the initiative and referendum process we do today — one of the most direct and democratic aspects of our state Constitution. At the time, legislators denied quorum, refusing to come back until a constitutional amendment to create Oregon’s initiative and referendum process was put forward to the people.
Oregon is already an “abortion tourism” state that grants access to the tragic procedure through all nine months of pregnancy at the expense of the taxpayers. But House Bill 2002 would go a step further and change Oregon's current abortion laws to remove any requirement for healthcare providers to notify parents if a minor has an abortion.
They want to make Oregon a “transgender tourism” state, too. House Bill 2002 would give protections to doctors who perform sex-change surgeries in other states, in violation of their state laws, and allows them to “seek refuge” here so they will not lose their medical license, even though they may have lost it in another state. Oregonians and insurance companies will be paying for this.
