    SJW Alyssa Milano pushes against Georgia abortion ban, Georgia pushes back

    By Louis Casiano | Fox News




    Actress Alyssa Milano and around 30 other Georgia-based film TV and film workers urged Republican Gov. Brian Kemp on Tuesday to veto a “heartbeat” abortion ban that has drawn scorn from Hollywood figures.

    Milano -- who films her Netflix comedy “Insatiable” in Atlanta -- delivered a letter to Kemp’s office in the Statehouse in Atlanta that was signed by other prominent Hollywood actors before speaking out on the bill.

    The so-called “Heartbeat” bill would prohibit most abortions in the state after a heartbeat is detected – which can come as early as six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant. It would not apply in the case of rape, incest or if the life of the mother is in danger.

    “We are going to do everything in our power to move our industry to a safer state for women if HB 481 becomes law,” Milano said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

    Last month, she tweeted the bill would “strip women of their bodily autonomy.”

    But Georgia state Rep. Dominic LaRiccia, a Republican, confronted Milano outside Kemp’s office and asked which Georgia district she votes in. She replied she is currently working in the state but does not live there.

    The legislation was approved last week and is backed by Kemp, who told the Journal-Constitution he won't be swayed by Milano's arguments against the proposal.

    "I can't govern because I'm worried about what someone in Hollywood thinks about me," Kemp told the newspaper. "I ran the last two years on these issues, and I got elected with the largest number of votes in the history of the state of Georgia, and I'm doing what I told people I would do."

    Before it passed last week, film and crew members sent letters to production companies HBO, Sony, Disney, Universal, Marvel and Netflix, urging them to publicly oppose the bill. Georgia has become a major hub for the film industry because of its generous tax credits.

    The state was home to 455 productions last fiscal year, generating $9.5 billion in economic impact and $2.7 billion in direct spending, the paper reported.

    “These are the men that are voting on what goes on inside my uterus,” Milano said Tuesday.

    Milano has become a prominent activist for the #MeToo movement and fierce critic of President Trump. In January, she compared his supporters to members of the Ku Klux Klan, saying "The red MAGA hat is the new white hood.”

    During the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Milano supported women who accused him of sexually assaulting them years before.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    It's an unconstitutional law, so it's all show on both sides.

    The Supreme court makes constitutional interpretations. The only thing they do is decide what's constitutional and what is not. C'mon man.

    First, you're splitting hairs on my use of the word "constitutional". Apparently I need to use the longhand form of "the supreme court has ruled and repeatedly affirmed that abortion prior to fetal viability is constitutionally protected". Feel better?

    Secondly, the only power sent back to the states by Roe was abortion AFTER fetal viability. A heartbeat at 6 weeks is not viability, which is in the low 20's week range.

    DGX wants abortion to be a states' rights issue. That's fine for future arguments, but that's not how the law works right now. Both sides have set up a challenge by passing state laws with the intent of a national challenge. So you'll get your day in court.

    No, she just thinks her opinions matter.

    I don't listen to her because recently I read how she and the other cast members from the original Charmed show are steaming mad about the new version.

    Because they weren't consulted on any aspect of the remake.......

    I've never watched either show and don't care. But since when do any cast members or producers of a new reboot have to consult with the hired help from the old version?

    She's not even a resident of Georgia, so I imagine Gov Kemp will completely disregard anything she says on the matter.
