Oregon also has a shield law, which protects medical providers and allows them to make medical decisions with their patients based on facts, not fear.

Oregonians have made it clear: reproductive healthcare is safeguarded in our state.

If access to mifepristone is challenged, we will take action to protect it – and we recently joined attorneys general in 19 other states in reaffirming this commitment.

We’re working closely w/Democratic AGs across the country to hold the line. America is not a country that polices its communities using the military.

The president must follow the Constitution and the rule of law.

We stand alongside fellow attorneys general and condemn the retaliatory prosecution of New York Attorney General Tish James. We cannot allow the rule of law to be twisted into a tool for revenge.

Oregon will not allow the president to normalize the use of the U.S. military in our cities. We all care about public safety – and the U.S. military cannot be used as a tool in political theater.

This is a president who leads through fear – and many in his own party can’t even stand up to him.

But I have faith in the American people, and in the judiciary. We must all recognize the moment we’re in.

The president must follow the Constitution. If he wants to push the boundaries, we’ll hold the line in court.

This is America. The U.S. military has no place in our streets.

Portland is peaceful. There is no reason to deploy National Guard here.
