Members of Hollywood's elite have banded together to urge Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp to veto the state's controversial "heartbeat bill," a piece of legislation that would effectively prohibit women from seeking an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. Meanwhile, the governors of Pennsylvania and New Jersey have jumped at the opportunity to lure Georgia's entertainment business by advertising their own tax incentives and pro-abortion rights laws.
A petition started by Alyssa Milano, who's currently in Atlanta shooting for the Netflix show "Insatiable," was signed by more than 100 celebrities, including Amy Schumer, Alec Baldwin and Judd Apatow. Milano wrote that if the bill passed, "we cannot in good conscience continue to recommend our industry remain in Georgia."
The Writers Guilds of America, East and West wrote in a letter shared on Twitter that they "urge Gov. Kemp to veto the bill."
The letter from the Guilds also noted that if members were to boycott filming in Georgia, "the cost would be most deeply felt by the residents of Georgia — including those who directly work in the film and television industry, and those who benefit from the many millions of dollars it pours into the local economy."

Isn’t that a type of “Blackmail”
If they stop filming in GA, then what is going to happen to "The Walking Dead"?
Hey Alissa; take your entertainment to Mars you moon bat. And oh by the way, Amy Schumer (any relation to Chuckles), Alec Baldwin? Moon bats all.
3:06 Not if he was going to side with them in the first place and in every case...
The Walking Dead will have to learn to use snowshoes. Or maybe they could be called The Skiing Dead.
Most of the celebrity "elites" listed are has beens already , so Georgia won't be hurting much if they boycott!
Does anyone Really care what Hollywood thinks? I hope not.
Really, who gives a damn what Hollywood thinks and does. Jeez!!
Ditto!
Here we go again..Hollywood luciferians once again trying to shove their sick twisted evil hateful agenda on a state that values life instead of lies and death.
All the usual 'woke' B-list types running their mouths.
The alternative is "We're filming here and if you're not at work we'll be replacing you with someone as talented and less vapid. Your choice." And breach of contract. And no more scripts to read.
So true 9:42! B-listers trying desperately to be relevant. They have to create fake "hate crimes" (Jussie) and become liberal mouthpieces (Alyssa) to get roles. Bunch of losers!
