In response to the introduction of multiple “heartbeat bills” across the country, actress and advocate Alyssa Milano has created a shoot location tool for filmmakers that lists the status of abortion legislation in all 50 states. The bills have caused uproar in Hollywood and inspired boycotts in production-heavy states like Georgia.
“Following the passage of a number of draconian attacks on a pregnant person’s right to choose in 2019, including those in states in which the motion picture and television industries conduct significant business, it has become apparent that those in our industry need to be able to make informed choices,” Milano and activist co-author Ben Jackson said in a mission statement accompanying the report.
The survey, published exclusively with Variety, is meant to help actors, producers, directors and studios decide “where it is safe for women to work.”
In April, Milano was entrenched in a star-fronted effort to move Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp to reject his state’s heartbeat bill (HB 481), which Kemp ultimately signed in May. Milano currently resides in Georgia, where the Netflix original “Insatiable” shoots. After Kemp signed the legislation, the actress vowed she would leave her show if the bill was not struck down by a higher court, and if Netflix continued to shoot in the state. The streaming giant, which also films additional shows like the cultural sensation “Stranger Things” in Georgia, said that it would reconsider all of its investment in the state if the bill is signed into law.

How does a person become so obsessed wih abortion? That must be a dark, twisted soul.
Hollywood might stay out of several red states? Sounds good.
