DENVER - A movement to boycott Alabama over its near-ban on abortion gained momentum on Thursday as officials in Maryland and Colorado called for economic retaliation and online flyers urged people not to buy anything in, or from Alabama.
Colorado's Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold called for a boycott of Alabama and urged the Election Centre, an organisation that trains election officials from across the country, to move out of the state. "The radical anti-abortion Bill signed into law yesterday by the Governor of Alabama is a malicious assault on the rights and protections of women," Mr Franchot wrote on Facebook.Ms Griswold said Colorado state employees regularly travel to Auburn, Alabama, to attend the Certified Election Registration Administrator training and certification.
Moves to boycott Alabama came after Hollywood stars like Alyssa Milano called on the media industry to pull out of neighbouring Georgia, a hub for film and television production, after it passed a strict abortion law last week.
