Oregon League of Conservation Voters Endorsements

Going to try and blog the occasional easy piece while on vacation. Have a couple of big stories I will handle when I get back, but until then, probably just a handful of entries.

Since I will forget by the time I get back, I want to post the list of endorsements from the Oregon League of Conservation Voters. I should note that this is not a vetted list so I am not personally endorsing them (other than Jeff Merkley, who is excellent) but I consider the Oregon League of Conservation Voters pretty good so it is worth putting their endorsement list out there. Anyone who agrees or disagrees is free to post their comments here.

Words to live by

Reproductive rights are too often subsumed by highly contentious debates about abortion. But reproductive rights go far beyond abortion. The global fight for reproductive rights is the fight against maternal mortality, forced and coerced sterilization, and gender-based discrimination and harassment. It is the struggle to give women the power to decide for themselves whether, when, and with whom to have children, and for access to sound, medically accurate information about family planning and sexually transmitted infections. It is the battle for universal access to all forms of contraception for both women and men. And it is the effort to protect women, men, and children from the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS.

In short, the reproductive rights movement seeks to empower people all over the world by promoting their agency and control over personal sexual and reproductive health decisions.
