On May 22, 1969 Oregon became one of the first states in the nation to legalize abortion. This was followed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s infamous Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 that made abortion the “law of the land” until it was overturned in the Supreme Court’s historic 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson ruling.

For over 50 years, Oregon Right to Life has gathered pro-life advocates of all ages to remember the lives lost to abortion and encourage hope and action to support mothers to choose life for their children. Changing our March for Life from January to May signals a renewed focus on our responsibility to utilize our resources within our own state, including within our state legislature, to restore the right to life for the unborn right here in Oregon.
