Democrat-run Portland will consider an emergency resolution to bar trade and travel with Texas in protest of the Lone Star State’s abortion heartbeat law.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) said the city council will vote on the measure Wednesday aimed at banning “future procurement of goods and services from, and City employee business travel to, the state of Texas.”
“The Portland City Council stands unified in its belief that all people should have the right to choose if and when they carry a pregnancy and that the decisions they make are complex, difficult, and unique to their circumstances,” the mayor said in a Friday statement. “The ban will be in effect until the state of Texas withdraws its unconstitutional ban on abortion or until it is overturned in court. City legal counsel is currently evaluating the legal aspects of this proposed resolution.” ...

... Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) responded to Wheeler’s statement, calling Portland a “dumpster fire.”
“It’s comical that Portland mayor @tedwheeler is worried about Texas when his city defunded the police and he had to ask citizens to ‘take back the city,'” Patrick tweeted over the weekend. “Texas is solidly #prolife and Texans support law enforcement. Meanwhile, Portland is a dumpster fire and Texas is thriving.” ...
