Film Industry threatens state on anti-abortion bill
Atlanta Headlines March 29, 2019
The Writer’s Guild of America fired a shot across the bow to Governor Kemp and his cronies in the legislature for passing the Heartbeat Bill in their statement:
“This law would make Georgia an inhospitable place for those in the film and television industry to work, including our members,” the WGA statement read.
“If the Georgia Legislature and Governor Kemp make HB 481 law, it is entirely possible that many of those in our industry will either want to leave the state or decide not to bring productions there. Such is the potential cost of a blatant attack on every woman’s right to control her own body.”
The Hill has a good summary of the film industry’s reaction to the bill.
