ALL OREGON FURS: READ NOW!
14 years ago
I just got this in my email inbox:
If there ever was a time to get fired up, this is it.
Following the lead of more than a dozen states across the country, anti-choice extremists have filed a so-called “personhood” amendment to the Oregon Constitution that would have far-reaching consequences for women and families across the state. Our opponents have turned in the first 1,000 signatures toward placing this dangerous, divisive measure on the November 2012 ballot.
As written, Initiative Petition 22 would prohibit abortion services or any other “action” that denies “life” to a “person.” The proposal defines “person” to include all human beings, “at every stage of biological development, including fertilization.” The only exception is for “death-penalty murderers.”
If passed, IP 22 would:
Impose an absolute ban on abortion, even in cases of rape and incest.
Deny access to many birth control services and supplies, including birth control pills.
Restrict the availability of certain fertility and miscarriage treatments.
Prohibit the donation of fertilized eggs for stem cell research.
Limit end-of-life options, undermining Oregon’s Death with Dignity laws.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon is fighting on every front to keep anti-choice language out of the Oregon Constitution. We need your help. Our legal team is filing challenges in the Oregon Supreme Court to make sure that voters have accurate information about IP 22, and we are already putting a campaign in place to defeat this measure should it make the ballot.
Your donation TODAY is critical to our efforts. Every dollar goes toward fighting to preserve a woman’s right to choose here in Oregon. Please, click here to keep us on the frontlines in the fight of our lives.
Tell everyone you know to avoid signing IP22! This is an outright assault on women's rights, our freedom to make our own choices, and a direct violation of the United States Constitution. There is no reason for this petition beyond religiously motivated beliefs which have absolutely no place in our government.
STOP INITIATIVE PETITION 22 NOW!

Oh.. Oregon and not oregano, ooopsie
There's no way this is passing.
We WANT to get rid of more humans, not add an unwanted one that will either grow up not receiving the care/love that it should, or will be dumped in an orphanage.
