Short Read of the Week for June 2, 2022

At this morning’s meeting we discussed five great articles, and because of its local origin and its matter-of-fact presentation of the research, without judgment, we chose this article that you should read if you don’t read anything else this week:

And because so many Oregonians don’t realize what will happen if Republicans take control of our legislature, we also chose to recommend this:

Republicans will take away more than the right to a safe abortion. They will take away Plan B contraception, too.
