		Furse has publicly discussed her experience because she is concerned about the rollback of abortion rights over the past several years.

	Furse
		Furse is a topographical name from Devon for someone who lived on a piece of land that was thickly grown with gorse, a small prickly shrub with yellow flowers.
		William Furse married Elizabeth Hill (born circa 1806, died 1885, Æt 79) Elizabeth is described on the census of 1861 as a charwoman.
		Elizabeth was unmarried, and may have been associated with William Allen shown on the 1861 census as “aged 28, single, Painter/ Glazier, born in Barnstaple.” He was living on High Street with his parents, Theophilus Allen (age 69) and Mary Allen (age 68).

	IN THE NATION
		Furse claimed that tests had shown that it was "likely" that the child would be disabled, but since prenatal testing had not yet been developed, it would have been impossible to know with any certainty.
		Furse has only one kidney and the doctor, who refused to do the abortion illegally as Furse had first asked, suggested that an exception might be made if the claim were made that this condition threatened her life.
		Furse was highlighting her experience in order to justify the "right" of women to have abortion on demand at any stage of pregnancy and for any or no reason.

	BlueOregon: Elizabeth Furse... blinded by the right.
		Furse said that had she been in Congress in 2002, she wouldn't have voted to use military force, but she understands why some members of Congress believed it was necessary.
		I think that Furse was clearly a good D in congress and I'm not going to attack her character or motives for her support of Smith.
		Furse is motivated more by some element of personal friendship she may have developed with Smith, than by pure economic self-interest.

	Former colleagues hit Furse for Smith remarks - Jeff Mapes on Politics - OregonLive.com
		All four of Oregon's Democratic members of Congress are taking former Democratic Congresswoman Elizabeth Furse to task for what she said in a new television commercial endorsing Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore.
		Furse has been a longtime backer of Smith, but she took it a step further in the new ad when she said that Smith was "one of the first to stand up to George Bush and other Republicans to end this war" in Iraq.
		After watching Gordon Smith's new television ad featuring Elizabeth Furse and Avel Gordly we feel compelled to respond and to help set the record straight: Gordon Smith was not one of the first to speak out against the war.

		Washington, D.C. – Rep. Elizabeth Furse (D-OR) withdrew her amendment to cut the Forest Service’s timber sale management program and shift most of the savings towards watershed restoration and recreation management.

		Furse "had hoped her gender and liberal activism would open up the wallets of donors and propel her" to victory.

		Wyden "appeared to be the chief beneficiary of Furse's decision" because he no longer has a competitor from the metro-Portland area.
