The Portland City Council is poised to take a stand against the new Texas abortion law Wednesday by considering a resolution that will ban official travel to and from the state. In a statement, Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler’s office said the Texas law will force “people to carry pregnancies against their will.”
The emergency resolution, if passed, will ban “future travel, goods and services from the state of Texas until the unconstitutional ban on abortion is withdrawn or overturned in court,” reads a Friday press release from Wheeler’s office.
