Oregon’s six-week-long walkout is over as Republican members rejoin the Oregon Senate on Thursday and come to a compromising agreement on stalled bills relating to abortion, transgender health care, and gun safety.
The walkout happened after Republicans opposed measures on abortion and gender-affirming care that Republicans claimed went too far as the measure would allow doctors to provide abortions regardless of a patient’s age, with medical providers not required to notify the parents of a minor in certain cases.
