Getting to Know
Oregon Right to Life
Oregon Right to Life was founded in 1970 and is comprised of three separate but interlocking organizations.
The Parent Organization
The parent organization of ORTL handles our lobbying efforts for life, provides support to pro-life organizations and individuals, organizes events and rallies and widely distributes publications such as our quarterly newspaper, Life in Oregon.
The Education Foundation
The Education Foundation works to educate, inform, motivate, and equip Oregon pro-life advocates. It prepares and distributes pro-life information and hosts booths at fairs, churches, conferences, and other events throughout the state. In addition, the Education Foundation provides a speakers bureau, student contests, training for young people through Launch, and provides direction for the Pro-Life Communities Initiative. It also actively participates in presenting the annual Oregon March for Life, Celebrate Life Month, and Together We Advocate, an annual conference.
Our Political Action Committee
Our political efforts are run through both state and federal PACs. We focus on electing pro-life officials at all levels of government as well as publishing a widely used pro-life voter guide each election year. Click to navigate to the ORTL PAC website.

Oregon Right to Life is an affiliate of National Right to Life Committee, America’s oldest and largest national pro-life organization.
