LINK Portland City Council to vote on banning Texas commerce, travel in protest of abortion ban - oregonlive.com
The Portland City Council will vote Wednesday on an emergency resolution that would ban buying goods and services from Texas, in response to a new Texas law restricting access to abortions.
The ban, which would also halt city employee travel to the state, would be in effect until Texas either withdraws the legislation or the law gets overturned in court, Mayor Ted Wheeler’s office said in a statement Friday.

Not to mention that Texas is also the most polluted state.
Good for them. All of who voted for that bill should be thrown out of office.

It's not just the city of Portland. Many corporations are movign there conventions out of Texas, or mot opening new offices there.
Personally, I am totally in favor of there beign economic consequences to their crazy abortion restrictions, which makes virtually any anti-abortion zealot into a vigilante.
@snytiger6 rewarding people for being Assholes! Of course that’s how most of their elected officials, federal and state, got into office to start with.
I already do as much as possible. I wouldn’t spend a dime if I knew it would benefit Texas in any way.
