ONTARIO, Ore. (AP) — Planned Parenthood is renting medical office space in the town of Ontario on the Oregon-Idaho border.
Oregon Public Broadcasting reports Planned Parenthood has not confirmed its plans for the space, but has said it’s preparing for an influx of out-of-state patients seeking abortions in Oregon because of multiple legal challenges to abortion rights.
Earlier this year they successfully lobbied the Oregon legislature to set aside $15 million in an unrestricted fund for reproductive health equity.
A clinic in Ontario, about an hour’s drive from Boise, Idaho, could be a significant high desert outpost for access to abortion and other reproductive health care services.
