Oregon clinics are preparing for an uptick in abortions administered to out-of-state residents in the wake of last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision, with the potential to halt a downward overall statewide trend more than 30 years in the making.
Annual abortions in Oregon among residents and non-residents have fallen from about 14,000 in 1989 to fewer than 7,000 in recent years, according to state data.
