I am confused. What did we lose again? A clump of cells or a child? Can we presume now that city employees cannot get abortions anymore because that would be murder? https://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/14706438/ ... Portland, Oregon, is the latest city to provide bereavement leave for people experiencing pregnancy loss, including abortions. The city’s amended bereavement leave policy allows city employees to take up to three days of paid leave if they’ve had a miscarriage, stillbirth or any other type of pregnancy loss. The policy covers time off for people to recover from an abortion “irrespective of whether deemed medically necessary,” according to the text.
