Timeline: 1990

NEW INITIATIVE - Feminist Majority launches the Becky Bell/ Rosie Jiminez Campaign. Jiminez was the first woman to die of an illegal abortion because of the Hyde Amendment, which cut off Medicaid funding for abortion in 1977.

VICTORY - The Feminist Majority helps defeat two anti-abortion ballot measures in Oregon with campus organizing drives, an Election Day Project, and speaking tours featuring Bill and Karen Bell, parents of Becky Bell. With this abortion rights victory, Oregon becomes the first and the last state to vote on a parental notification or parental consent restriction on abortion access.

Feminist Majority and ACLU organizers, including Feminist Majority National Coordinator Kathy Spillar and Feminist Majority Director of Policy and Research Jennifer Jackman, work with the Oregon No on 8 and 10 Campaign to defeat two anti-abortion initiatives.
