SALEM, Ore. — Three southern Oregon senators are sponsoring a new bill that would limit abortion access in the state as this year’s legislative session begins. Sens. David Brock-Smith (R – District 1), Dennis Linthicum (R – District 28) and Art Robinson (R – District 2) are three of the chief sponsors of Senate Bill 1536 — which would ban abortion for anyone more than 15 weeks pregnant, except in cases of rape, incest or an urgent health need. The bill is also being backed by southern Oregon representatives Court Boice (R – District 1), Emily McIntire (R – District 56), E. Werner Reschke (R – House District 55) and Dwayne Yunker (R – District 3).
