Hollywood actors threaten to boycott Georgia if 'heartbeat' abortion bill becomes law
By Aris Folley - 03/28/19 07:13 PM EDT

A growing list of Hollywood celebrities signed onto a letter sent to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) threatening to push film production crews to abandon the state if the pending “heartbeat” abortion bill becomes law.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, more than 40 prominent actors have already signed onto the letter as of Thursday.

Rosie O’Donnell, Gabrielle Union Patton Oswalt, Amy Schumer, Ben Stiller, Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, Don Cheadle, Mia Farrow, Essence Atkins, Uzo Aduba, and Christina Applegate are among those who have signed the letter.

The letter, spearheaded by Alyssa Milano, comes a week after the actress tweeted on Friday urging film companies to leave Georgia after the state Senate passed a bill, also known as H.B. 481, that would ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected.

This statement alone is a frigging joke.... since it's obvious that none of these liberal leftist ghouls even have a conscience.   Their conscience probably exited about the same time as their souls.

Only a handful of those named actually have viable movie careers. Who's going to miss Rosie O'Donut's business?

Really, some have careers that have been in hibernation for 30 years, I'd think like Mia Farrow.  has-beens like you said and/or "who cares?"

Is that a threat or a promise?

Fantastic news.  It's a win-win.

Such arrogance.  Your recommendations were never a factor in your "industry" coming to Georgia.

This is why we call them "actors", not "deep thinkers" or "moral leaders".

This is similar to celebrities threatening to leave the country if an election doesn't go their way. Then they find no one cares if they leave or not.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

“This bill would remove the possibility of women receiving reproductive healthcare before most even know they are pregnant and force many women to undergo unregulated, hidden procedures at great risk to their health.”
This sentence makes no logical sense. Who has an abortion if they don't know they are pregnant?

Not to mention the fact that the biggest "risk to their health" is having unprotected sex.  And what "hidden procedures" are they talking about?  Oh wait... this is the lefties bleating.  No logic or sense required.  (nevermind)
