Oregon Ballot Measure 108 (2008) is an initiated constitutional amendment that deals with the issue of recieving monetary compensation to assist in abortion procedures.
The petition calls for amending the Oregon Constitution to prohibit "the use of public or private funds to facilitate the killing of any human being from the moment of conception, wholly or partially within the womb or after delivery, and the acceptance of funds for performing such a procedure." Violations would be punishable as murder or accessory to murder. The initiative would allow ending an ectopic pregnancy or executing someone convicted of a capital offense by a jury. [1]
