Report: Woman alleges Erickson got her pregnant and paid for abortion

The Portland Tribune talked to a 33-year-old woman from Clackamas County who says GOP congressional candidate Mike Erickson "got her pregnant in 2000 and then paid for her to have an abortion." The newspaper agreed to withhold the woman's name.

"We became pregnant, and not only did he pick me up and drove me to the abortion clinic, he completely encouraged me to do that," the woman told the Portland Tribune. "On the way to the clinic, "he withdrew $300 from his bank account" at an ATM to pay for the procedure, she said.

"He didn't go in, didn't walk her in, just left her at the door," Kristi Oetken, a friend of the woman, told the Portland Tribune in an interview last month. "I'd left work and met her there. I can describe it to you -- the stairs, the hallway, the little lobby."
