Multiple production companies have announced they will no longer film in Georgia after the state passed an restrictive abortion law.

Don’t give your business to Georgia. Will you pledge with me not to film anything in Georgia until they reverse this backwards legislation?While the announced boycott may be limited at this point, others in the film industry may join it.

CounterNarrative Films said it will no longer work in Georgia, and Christine Vachon, whose company, Killer Films has produced Oscar-winning and -nominated films like “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Carol,”In March, before the bill was signed into law, actress Alyssa Milano to Gov. Kemp and Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston signed by 50 other famous actors saying, “We cannot in good conscience continue to recommend our industry remain in Georgia if HB 481 becomes law.”The Motion Picture Association of America said in“It is important to remember that similar legislation has been attempted in other states, and has either been enjoined by the courts or currently being challenged,” the association said.

They dont that much anyway so f%ck them and the walk dead

Georgia, please don't sell your soul for a few dollars more. When enough states take the high road, these companies will have to take the low road and film in California, were they belong. Don't give up !!

I guess this will result in less traffic

If only that were enough!

As it should be. willnotvisitGA

If they're going to have sex take birth control. How can the Democrats want to give a 16 year old the right to vote when they don't even know how to prevent abortion.

Does bother me at all I very little tv that isn’t sports. If murder is a prerequisite for Hollywood to make movies in my state then I’m glad I didn’t support Hollywood.

If you really want to affect Georgia ask airplane companies not to buy Georgian airplane parts

I may stop eating peaches.

Guess you missed the latest announcement from Bruce Willis. Preproduction will start this month in Columbus, GA for his latest movie. It has an $8 million expense budget!

Too bad for them that they have succumbed to demands of people who play other people for a living

Georgia's abortion law is really an abortion prohibition. Why they didn't ban abortion & called it by it's name?

Good. No one needs the godless advocates of baby murder in that state anyway. This wholesale slaughter of innocent babies needs to end. AbortionIsMurder.

Good, keep filming in high tax Democrat states that will cost you more...no one cares!

Leftists ==== killl: the conservative is for life!!!

What about “Deliverance 2”?

Keep up the death industry and the boycott in support of death: we know where u stand leftists. U side with death! I side with life and I am on the correct side of the argument!!! We know ur studios and will boycott U

Sacerdotus Good riddance to those blackmailers. They can make their money for THEIR LIVES somewhere else. 😉🇺🇸

Oh my. If the liberals boycott CNN their ratings will go from 💩 to 💩💩💩

Plan your trip. Don’t buy gas or anything else in Georgia.

This is where the issue should be decided, the states. Federal government has no business in this. Read the constitution, defended and protect. Not: Education, agriculture or health care. Hollywood has little reach outside California and New York.

Now maybe it will stop in Georgia. Put back up the Confederate flag

In the same way that people say that if Trump wins, they move to Canada. And where are they now? I already remembered IN THE UNITED STATES 🙄

Georgia’s gain. Their loss. They have the guts to stand for what us right. I hope SC follows their lead.

Good. Keep it up.

………………….WE will BOYCOTT ALL PROGRAMS and their SPONSORS that continue to do business there...………...

Excellent. Hit 'em where it hurts. And that place has nothing to do with morality.

Multiple production companies have announced they will no longer film in Georgia after the state passed an abortion law that ignores women’s human and civil rights. Now the entirety corporate America’s leaders need to show their social consciousness to financial consequence GA

Hit them in the pocketbook. That's what works.

Do you think people care if it saves one life. Just one!

They’re upset because you can’t abort a baby with a heartbeat. Let that sink in.

Kids are literally being slaughtered almost on a weekly basis due to mass school shootings...but yet America's lawmakers believe sending to prison for their right to choose what goes on in their own bodies, is priority/solution?! What the fuck is wrong with these people? 😱

My mother had several miscarriages no abortions. Thanks Mom for not playing GOD.

Georgia doesn't care what Hollywood thinks. We decided that being forced to kill the 'Unborn' did not meet with our moral values and God's word. Many other states will follow. Trump give us back the SCOTUS, things will change in America.

Saying multiple gives cover for half truths or half lies. There are 3 companies but really, GA is going to be better off without them if they really leave. If such threats were real, most of the celebrities would be in Canada by now & we know that rhetoric turned out hollow

Who cares

This is how we fight back — money will trump their supposed principles every time. abortionishealthcare

Wilmington NC is ready and waiting.

Where’s Tyler Perry?

'Multiple production companies have announced they will no longer film in Georgia after the state decided it will not kill innocent children anymore.'**** There I fixed it. Georgia doesn't want your blood money Hollywood. Keep your weirdness in Cali. Thanks.

Willing to bet they will film in Dubai or Egypt tho

If a woman may not have an abortion then a man should be sterilised....the woman did not want this pregnancy..you need a man to be pregnant...so ' both are guilty'

Since they have not been in State before, it’s all bluster.

Move out of that shithole state.

Production companies with WORKING productions NOW are staying, the power of the rebate and tax credits have already spoken. I'm amazed at the fake outrage. ShowBUSINESS MoneyTalks

Proč se tak soustředili na jeho podpis?

Oh boy. Those baby killers really know how to show up Georgia.

Thank God if this means the end of The Walking Dead.

It’ll be interesting to see what TWD makes of this as they’ve been based in Georgia right from the start.

That is awesome!. Get the Government out of the Business of controlling lives to the point of telling people what they can do with their bodies!

Full support

The pro-life nutters will be pro-looking-for-a-job! Thoughts & Prayers.

'an restrictive' is one way to put it. It's essentially 'an' total ban

Good thing America gives a crap.🙄
