City officials in Portland, Oregon, plan to ban travel to Texas over the southern state’s recently enacted anti-abortion law.

Portland’s City Council is scheduled to vote Sept. 8 on an emergency motion that would ban the city from procuring goods or services from Texas, in addition to blocking city workers from traveling there.
