Hollywood's big players stay quiet on Georgia abortion law as those working in the 'Hollywood of the South' resist calls for a filming boycott, lbahr and sanya_mansoor report.

May 16, 2019

But in the week since Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion laws, none of the major film or television studios have commented on the issue or altered production plans. The backlash has been limited to smaller production companies, like Color Force , Killer Films , “The Wire” creator David Simon of Blown Deadline Productions and the Duplass Brothers Productions .

Georgia’s “heartbeat bill” would ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant. Unless it’s blocked in court, it is set to go into effect in 2020. The ACLU has already said the group will mount a legal challenge. “That to me is a sort of murky pivot that allows people to keep their jobs and tax rebates and also seemingly support the cause,” Donnelly said. ” more of a solution for Hollywood than it is addressing the values and the morality the boycott raises for women across this industry.”as the governor in neighboring Alabama on Wednesday signed the nation’s most stringent anti-abortion measure into law

Stacey Abrams, who narrowly lost a contentious gubernatorial race against Kemp, tweeted Wednesday that she respects the calls for a boycott, “but I do not believe it is the most effective, strategic choice for change.” Molly Coffee, a film production designer in Georgia, helped start a petition with other women in the film industry urging Hollywood not to leave the state and emphasizing her commitment to fight the new abortion law.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor What should they say? There are people who are ok with a ban on abortion. Plus these are men. Don't we like to say it's women's bodies. Now we want their voices? Come on.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Boycott the film studios, movies, actors, etc.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Too much money involved this time...not going to bite the hand that feeds them.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor TheWalkingDead Stranger_Things

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Gotta love the AP News posting a hit job story. Almost to say, 'hey everyone, these guys aren't with us! Let's burn them at the stake!'

Lbahr sanya_mansoor i’m sure it will all be worth it

Lbahr sanya_mansoor When money is involved, one thing is a guarantee, Hollywood will sell themselves out.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor What?! They're not following Alyssa Milano's orders? I'm SO shocked.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor What people won't do for money.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor 'It's called the Separation of Powers, you %$-head.' - Miss Vito, 'My Cousin Vinny'

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Actually, the DOJ and Red State AG are the ones conspicuously silent in the face of such egregious CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS. Tell us, if star lawmakers could just 'artfully draft around' federal LAW promulgated by the U.S. Supreme Court, 'what's the point' of having a Court?

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Soooo actors/actresses in Georgia are not playing by your rules?

Lbahr sanya_mansoor As they should. They are actors and producers, who cares about their opinions? We only care about their entertainment value.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor They don’t care and they saving money filming in this state so their not going to stop production and move an entire company for political issue, not when money is involved and that’s Hollywood number one star MONEY

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Will they be attending Corporate Woodstock?

Lbahr sanya_mansoor They don’t care about a woman’s right they want to make their money and the biggest city that will be affected in Georgia is Atlanta. We all know Brian Kemp can’t stand Atlanta and the Mayor!!

Lbahr sanya_mansoor They take a stand until it hits their wallets.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor What are they gonna do, call to withhold sex?

Lbahr sanya_mansoor OK...but you might want to think about only making films with all male casts...because...

Lbahr sanya_mansoor what do we have cops asking ladies 'Hows the pregnancy going?' 'you want arrested?'

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Wait a minute. A Hollywood type not giving their opinion? A Hollywood not broadcasting their personal views to themselves? A Hollywood type keeping their nose out of places it doesn't belong? What's this world coming to?

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Do you want to boycott someone for protecting lives of unborn babies? Sick&sad!

Lbahr sanya_mansoor It's not the time to stay quiet!

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Why try to politicize Hollywood & film industry?

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Kevfeige MarvelStudios

Lbahr sanya_mansoor I’m going to be watching what these film companies do. If I check a movie and it was made in Georgia I won’t be spending my box office $ on that film. Or any film made in the states pushing this kind of agenda.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor everything's a forefront of the culture war

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Under His Eye TheHandmaidsTale SickAmerica

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Boycott bible belt religious cult states

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Leaving is exactly what the conservatives want them to do...staying is an act of rebellion

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Alyssa_Milano was right about sexstrike

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Oh, when it’s their money that gets touched....ssssssh!

Lbahr sanya_mansoor NEWSFLASH: Hollywood is full of sanctimonious hypocrites.

Lbahr sanya_mansoor Staying quiet or has nobody asked their opinions on the matter? 🤨

Lbahr sanya_mansoor theres no camera that can tell you

Lbahr sanya_mansoor I said, I said...
