The state of Texas could soon feel economic backlash in response to its recently enacted new abortion laws, which are the strictest in the U.S.
The city council of Portland, Oregon, is set to vote Wednesday on whether to ban future travel and trading of goods and services with Texas in protest of the legislation, The Hill reports.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said in a statement last week: “The ban will be in effect until the state of Texas withdraws its unconstitutional ban on abortion or until it is overturned in court.”

Nobody cares what Portland does. Portland is known for burning their own.

It’s not “civil” of Portland to declare economic “war” like that. Could lead to increasing friction between the states.
Wouldn’t want that. Not while everyone is getting along so well with each other.

Sounds like unconstitutional interference in interstate commerce. How fast do you think this would be overturned if Texas declined to see Oregon natural gas?

Hey libtards - boycott all the red states and then we don’t have to worry about boycotting YOU.

Well I have no plans to visit Oregon because that state is so obviously anti-Christian. I wonder how they would react to an Oregon boycott?
