(KTLA) – So far actors and production companies have been the most vocal about a controversial Georgia anti-abortion law, but now Netflix has entered the conversation. In an exclusive statement to Variety, Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer, said: “We have many women working on productions in Georgia, whose rights, along with millions of others, will be severely restricted by this law.” “It’s why we will work with the ACLU and others to fight it in court. Given the legislation has not yet been implemented, we’ll continue to film there,
while also supporting partners and artists who choose not to,” Sarandos said. “Should it ever come into effect, we’d rethink our entire investment in Georgia.” There has been a growing movement for Hollywood to boycott Georgia in the wake of the controversial legislation. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed the bill into law on May 7. The measure, set to go into effect January 1, would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy. READ MORE
