On October 19, 2006, the American Constitution Society co-sponsored "The status of reproductive rights in Oregon," panel - one of many panels in a 2-day series of reproductive rights panels with the Women's Law Forum and Law Students for Choice. Sara Ainsworth, Senior Legal and Legislative Counsel of the Northwest Women's Law Center discussed the status of reproductive rights in Oregon. Specifically, she provided context based on what has happened and is happening in other Pacific Northwest states and general national trends, especially after the passage of recent federal legislation prohibiting the transportation of minors across state lines to avoid parental consent laws. Sara Ainsworth has worked on various pro bono cases and pieces of legislation throughout the Pacific NW regarding reproductive issues. She is a lawyer who has written/presented on the constitutional rights of teenagers.
