(AP) \u2014 Oregon is launching a new abortion hotline offering free legal advice to callers, moving to further defend abortion access after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v.

Wade in June, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/march-for-life-abortion-roe-anniversary-0a7e6ef93091d16307ca935e0ae1d2bd\" data-ylk=\"slk:near-total bans on abortion\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">near-total bans on abortion<\/a> have been implemented in Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. Legal challenges are pending against several of those bans. The lone clinic in North Dakota relocated across state lines to Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>Idaho has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/abortion-politics-health-idaho-state-government-f5a3453fece3da739d03256e7faecea8\" data-ylk=\"slk:three separate laws banning abortion\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">three separate laws banning abortion<\/a>. One allows the potential family members of a fetus to sue a health care professional who performs an abortion; another makes it a crime for medical professionals to perform an abortion after electrical activity is detected; and another effectively bans all abortions but allows doctors to defend themselves in court by proving that the procedure was done to save the life of the patient.<\/p>\n<p>All three bans are in effect statewide, though a federal judge put a small portion of the third law on hold while a lawsuit is underway. The federal judge said the state could not enforce the third law against health care providers who perform abortions in medical emergencies at Medicaid-funded hospitals until the lawsuit is over.<\/p>\n<p>About 70 lawyers from several local law firms will be working for Oregon&#8217;s hotline, said Anna Sortun, a partner at Tonkon Torp, which will be serving as the number&#8217;s logistics backbone. She said her firm sought advice from people operating New York&#8217;s abortion hotline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had a lot of logistical advice about batching out calls,&#8221; she said. \u201cThe most important thing is that we get back to people really quickly, because sometimes they need to know an answer fairly quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Calls to the hotline will first be fielded by the Oregon State Bar&#8217;s Lawyer Referral Service. The office will dispatch the calls or voicemails to Tonkon Torp, which will then assign them to one of the lawyers volunteering for the hotline.<\/p>\n<p>While lawyers will only be sharing legal advice on the status of Oregon law, they can also provide contact information for providers and abortion funds if callers need more information on the resources available to them, according to state justice officials.<\/p>\n<p>The hotline was launched the day after abortion supporters <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/abortion-politics-health-wisconsin-state-government-madison-32f0773666b4e69b4626f4ba632cc37a\" data-ylk=\"slk:rallied\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">rallied<\/a> across the country to mark the 50th anniversary of the now-overturned Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n<p>Anticipating a spike in out-of-state patients, Oregon lawmakers created a $15 million fund last year to increase access to abortion services. This year, Democrats in the Legislature plan to introduce a bill that would shield patients and providers from lawsuits originating in states where abortion is banned or restricted.<\/p>\n<p>__<\/p>\n<p>Associated Press writer Rebecca Boone contributed from Boise, Idaho.
