Pro-Choice Portland
"I have met thousands and thousands of pro-choice men and women. I have never met anyone who is pro-abortion. Being pro-choice is not being pro-abortion. Being pro-choice is trusting the individual to make the right decision for herself and her family, and not entrusting that decision to anyone wearing the authority of government in any regard."
-Hillary Clinton
"Th[e] right of privacy ... is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy."
"One’s philosophy, one’s experiences, one’s exposure to the raw edges of human existence, one’s religious training, one’s attitudes toward life and family and their values, and the moral standards one establishes and seeks to observe, are all likely to influence and to color one’s thinking and conclusions about abortion."
-Roe V. Wade
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever does."
- Margaret Mead
We want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. This is what we mean by a moral society; not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state."
-Margaret Thatcher
This website was created for people who want to get involved with pro-choice and related action in Portland. It can be difficult to become involved because a lot of the resources available in the Portland area are somewhat "members only". This is a crucial time to be involved with this cause. There are currently 15 anti-choice bills going through Oregon Legislature, and in D.C. they are pushing to make "partial birth" abortions illegal. I hope that this is a useful resource for those who want to get involved and may not know how, or are looking for more ways to guarantee a woman's right to choose.
