ORTL Files Complaint with the U.S. Office for Civil Rights Salem, OR -- Tuesday, January 14, Oregon Right to Life (ORTL) filed a complaint with the U.S. Office for Civil Rights, challenging the abortion-related health insurance coverage mandated by Oregon's Reproductive Health Equity Act signed into law August 15, 2017. “Oregon Right to Life exists to advocate for vulnerable human beings who are not protected under law,” says Lois Anderson, ORTL executive director. “Under this mandate, we are literally being forced to violate our mission and very reason for existing.” Oregon requires a health benefit plan in Oregon to provide coverage for abortions, contraceptives (including those that can act as abortifacients), and services related to both. ORTL objects to this mandate. {{Swipe to read the full press release.}} #orpol #orleg #orcourts https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Wpx8mlTqd/?igshid=1dfkdcxoqid4j
