another one we do expect to see is a public funding ban in oregon. and like florida, the basic no public funding for abortion. but unlike florida, oregon is one of the only states that does give public funding for abortion. this was tried two times before, in 1978, and 1986. so this is not the first time they have seen the fight. they are expecting to see it again it's backed by oregon right to life. which is well-organized in their state. so we should know in juliful we should see that. we're unsure what the implications will be for public employees that have insurance if this will cut their care also. i'm briefly going over my watch list. this is things that have been filed, things moving but we're unsure of what the future will be. so the first is parental notification in california. this is the fourth time. this was defeated, in 2005, 2006, and 2008. they have filed multiple initiatives this year. so, when one expires, there is already one that can keep ongoing, they've done this up until june, and we expect this because they are not as organized
