New Georgia abortion law draws Hollywood backlash by realchriswilson
But the reaction was slower and smaller than in 2016, when a “religious rights” bill that would have allowed discrimination against LGBTQ persons provoked a boycott threat that led then-Gov. Nathan Deal to veto the measure.
"I can’t ask any female member of any film production with which I am involved to so marginalize themselves or compromise their inalienable authority over their own bodies,” wrote Simon in a series of Twitter messages. “I must undertake production where the rights of all citizens remain intact. Can only speak for my production company.
When the Georgia bill began to work its way through the Georgia legislature, actress Alyssa Milano spearheaded an initiative to pressure a boycott of the state. Milano told Yahoo News that she is contractually obligated to work in the state for one more month on the Netflix series “Insatiable” but would cease working there after that.
Tax incentives for production were raised to 30 percent in 2008 and the film business has surged in the Peach State since, including popular productions like “The Walking Dead” “Stranger Things” and “Avengers: Endgame.” The $800 million in tax credits handed out in the 2017 fiscal year are more than New York and California combined for what the governor’s office said were 455 projects and nearly $3 billion in direct spending.
