Oregon

NIRH worked with Oregon advocates to achieve this state level funding for abortion care, following our successful campaign to achieve Portland city funding for abortion care.

NIRH partnered with Pro-Choice Oregon and the Northwest Abortion Access Fund (NWAAF) in 2021 to expand access to abortion by addressing a primary barrier to care: cost.  anks to this advocacy work, on September 15, 2021, the Portland City Council voted to allocate $200,000 to the Northwest Abortion Access Fund (NWAAF) in order to provide needed support and resources to those trying to access abortion care.

Cost has always been one of the greatest barriers to equitable access to abortion care, even before the Supreme Court overturned Roe. NIRH is working to ensure that states and cities are prioritizing abortion access by funding care for all those who need it.
