All of these companies, starting with Uber, should immediately terminate accounts of Texas Republican law makers and ban any further service to them.

That would be a real first step in fighting this law.

No it wouldn't. Companies can choose who they wish to do business with except for certain protected classes, and being a politician or anti-abortion are not protected classes. Lots of companies refused to do business with Trump or Parker following the insurrection and that was all legal (and continues to this day).
