Oregon passed a $10.2 million bill healthcare bill to help women receive free reproductive healthcare benefit at taxpayer expense. Yet the focus is on money to allow a female, if needed, to have an abortion for any reason. The mass majority of the money goes towards services such as; services, drugs, devices, products or procedures to prevent a pregnancy. Which means condoms, birth control pills, sex education, screenings for sexual transmitted disease and cancers, and so on that people without health insurance can get. Oh and even their spouse is eligible for services as well.

But how much of that $10.2 million is set aside for abortion? It’s a lot smaller then the article headlines leads you to believe – PB/TK

Oregon becomes first state to offer free abortions for all, including illegal aliens – By Valerie Richardson / Aug 16 2017

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has signed a landmark bill to provide free abortions for all, including illegal immigrants, by requiring insurance companies to cover the procedures and putting taxpayers on the hook for the tab.
Tuesday’s long-awaited signing of House Bill 3391, approved by the State Legislature July 5 with no Republican votes, triggered a torrent of criticism from conservatives along with praise from the pro-choice movement.
“Thank Kate Brown for signing the nation’s most progressive reproductive health bill into law today!” NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon said in a statement.
The $10.2 million Reproductive Health Equity Act includes $500,000 for abortions for the estimated 22,873 women who would be eligible for the Oregon Health Plan, the state’s Medicaid program, “except for their immigration status.”
