tax payers should not be paying for what is essentially an elective procedure. Abortion is not healthcare unless the life of the expectant mother is in jeopardy.

This was forced by the Salem socialists. The only Commissioner I would never vote for is Chang, he likes Tax Payers paying for irresponsible behavior and would like to have more Commissioners on the board that believe in the socialist democrat agenda.

They already covered abortions in situations of rape, incest, or for medical reasons. Now, they're required to cover abortions when it's simply a want and not a need. If it's not medically necessary (or in the case of rape or incest) then it shouldn't be covered by medical insurance.

They have access to other birth control methods. Use them.

It is a personal responsibility if you get pregnant so it is also your responsibilty if you choose abortion which means you pay ...not taxpayers !

Abortion shouldn't be taken lightly and used as a form of birth control, especially with taxpayer dollars.

Absolutely not. Abortion is not women's health, it is not contraception, it is factually taking a human life period.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
