I need to hear from you. My next town hall is this Saturday at 11 am in the Centennial High School Gym at 3505 SE 182nd Ave in Gresham. I hope to see you there!

Radical leftist Jennifer Thompson killed her SEVEN-MONTH-OLD unborn baby in an abortion. Thompson aborted her viable, late-term unborn baby after discovering unexpectedly that she was nearly seven months pregnant. The abortion was purely elective – and she got taxpayers to pay for it. Thompson is an “extremist abortion and BLM activist” who attends Antifa riots and advocates for violence. Her posts about her abortion include “graphic detail” about her decision to “end the life of her viable baby at nearly seven months of pregnancy." Thompson said she thought she might be pregnant on when she noticed an abnormal discharge. When a pregnancy test showed positive, she said she called Planned Parenthood and the Lilith Clinic, both abortion facilities, to discuss her “options” and then scheduled an abortion appointment for the next day. She said the Lilith Clinic told her how to apply for the state Medicaid program so that taxpayers would pay for her abortion, and the program “immediately accepted” her because she was pregnant. At the abortion facility, Thompson said the ultrasound technician informed her that she actually was close to her third trimester, somewhere between 27 to 29 weeks, and they could not do an abortion that late at the facility. She said they told her about late-term abortion facilities in Colorado and New Mexico. Instead, she went to the Oregon Health & Science University where, just three hours after learning she was pregnant with a viable, late-term baby, the hospital began the abortion process, according to the archive. "At OHSU getting a full confirmation of how pregnant I am — 27.5 weeks. I get a shot through my abdomen to stop the heartbeat,” Thompson wrote. "I’m admitted to the hospital and I start taking medication to induce labor.” The next day, after a “grueling night” of pain and labor, she said she gave birth to a “2 pound, 7 inch girl. "With no heartbeat.” Thompson ended her story with a profanity-filled tirade against anyone who is not as angry as she is about pro-life efforts to save unborn babies. “While this was probably the most emotionally traumatic thing I’ve experienced, this abortion saved my f—— life,” she wrote. “… But more than that, f—— fuming for those who don’t have that access. F—— fuming that our autonomy is being stripped away. Just know that if you’re not feeling that rage, you’re selfish.” While Thompson claimed aborting her unborn baby was life-saving, medical experts say late-term abortions are never necessary to save the mother’s life. And Thompson never provided any medical reason why she had to have her viable baby killed in an abortion. Approximately 11,000 late-term unborn babies are aborted every year in the U.S. according to the CDC. We must end abortion.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. This is more of the same lawlessness we’ve seen elsewhere around the country. 

Our country deserves accountability. Our country deserves the humane treatment of every person here. In fact, our Constitution demands this. What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again.
