Boycotting Georgia Film Leaves the State for Dead

Movies :: Heartbeat Bill :: Paste: I live in Atlanta, the culturally vibrant, liberal hub of a historically red state. Few may know us as the “Hollywood of the South” thanks to our booming film industry, but most know us for our illegitimate governor, Brian Kemp, who recently signed one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the country. Starting in 2020, this “heartbeat bill” would make abortion illegal after six weeks, before most women even know they’re pregnant, and prosecute women on charges of conspiracy for out-of-state abortions.
