Oregon Republicans end walkout that blocked myriad bills

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : Republicans particularly opposed a provision in the measure on abortion and transgender health care that would allow doctors to provide abortions regardless of the patient's age, with medical providers not required to notify the parents of a minor, especially when doing so could endanger the child, such as in cases of incest.
41% : The boycott, which prevented the Senate from reaching a two-thirds quorum needed to pass bills, was prompted by a sweeping measure on abortion and gender-affirming care that Republicans said was too extreme.
38% : Enough Republican members showed up in the Oregon Senate on Thursday to end a six-week walkout that halted the work of the Legislature and blocked hundreds of bills, including some on abortion, transgender health care and gun safety.
