The 'Ozark' actor joins a list of Hollywood figures speaking out against Georgia's new law that bans abortion after six weeks.
Actor Jason Bateman said Thursday that he will no longer work in Georgia if the state’s recently passed “heartbeat bill” that bans abortion after six weeks survives its legal challenges, adding to a list of Hollywood figures speaking out against the legislation.
Bateman joins many major figures in the entertainment industry who are speaking against Georgia’s abortion law that Gov. Brian Kemp signed last week. The law effectively bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and severely limits reproductive health care for millions of women in the state. Some producers have held off speaking against the issue, likely because the law isn’t expected to go into effect until 2020 and faces a lengthy battle in court.
Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams encouraged Hollywood producers on Thursday not to boycott Georgia in protest of the abortion law, asking them to instead support local organizations working to fight the legislation.
