俄勒冈州塞勒姆。-俄勒冈州参议院的大多数共和党人退席，旨在推迟枪支安全、堕胎权和性别确认方面的行动卫生保健法案延长到第五天周日。
参议院议长罗布·瓦格纳(Rob Wagner)将该机构休会至周一上午，因为无法达到法定人数。
共和党人以前曾举行过退席，但今年有10名无故缺席的立法者被取消了连任资格，这要归功于11月选民以压倒性多数通过的新宪法修正案。
抵制发生在几个州，包括蒙大拿州和田纳西州，已经成为保守派和自由派之间的战场。俄勒冈州越来越被波特兰和尤金这样的自由人口中心和保守的农村地区所分割。
Oregon GOP walkout marks 5th day, delays Democrat-led bills
SALEM, Ore. --A walkout by most Republicans in the Oregon Senate aimed at delaying action on gun safety, abortion rights and gender-affirminghealth carebills extended to a fifth day Sunday.
Senate President Rob Wagner adjourned the body until Monday morning because a quorum could not be reached.
Republicans have staged walkouts before, but this year legislators with 10 unexcused absences are disqualified for reelection, thanks to a new constitutional amendment overwhelmingly approved by voters in November.
The boycott comes as several statehouses, including in Montana and Tennessee, have become battlegrounds between conservatives and liberals. Oregon has increasingly been divided between liberal population centers like Portland and Eugene and its mostly conservative rural areas.
