Portland is considering BANNING all Texas imports over abortion law

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : The law bans abortion once a heartbeat is discovered - normally around six weeks of pregnancy.
47% : Anti-abortion campaigners have intensified their efforts since Donald Trump was elected president and appointed two conservative justices to the US Supreme Court, hopeful they can convince the right-leaning court to re-examine Roe v. Wade.
40% : 'The Heartbeat bill' Multiple governors have signed legislation outlawing abortion if a doctor can detect a so-called 'fetal heartbeat,' part of a concerted effort to restrict abortion rights in states across the country.
39% : By handing off enforcement to private citizens, Texas avoided the legal pitfalls that doomed similar efforts in other states - but critics say that the move amounts to a hack of the legal system.
39% : Roe v. Wade: The landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in America
38% : The landmark ruling legalized abortion nationwide but divided public opinion and has been under attack ever since.
35% : The city wrote: 'The ban will be in effect until the state of Texas withdraws its unconstitutional ban on abortion or until it is overturned in court.
35% : Georgia, Ohio, Missouri, and Louisiana have enacted 'heartbeat laws' recently, and Alabama passed an even more restrictive version in May, amounting to a near total ban on abortion from the moment of conception.
