Heading: Stigmatizing Significance

Text: Some level of public stigma may attach to an exclusion under Portland's PFZ ordinance. We must determine, however, whether that public stigma is stigma of the individual, and not simply public disapproval of the behavior. See Selness, 334 Or. at 534, 54 P.3d 1025 (setting the standard). We are persuaded that the stigma associated with exclusion under the PFZ ordinance is no more stigmatizing of the individual involved than domestic abuse restraining orders, ORS 107.718(1)(c), and other similar civil orders aimed at preventing violence and disorder, rather than at punishing past crimes. See, e.g., Portland Fem. Women's H. Ctr., 859 F.2d at 681-85 (approving order enjoining right-to-life advocates from entering area around abortion clinic's front door).
