And I bet since ‘they’ are the ones who will be impacted by this AWFUL LAW they might not hate the idea of somebody trying to get that stopped.
I ‘get’ your argument but if people don’t protest how can they stop this.
You act like everybody should just sit down and ‘smile’ at this.
What are ‘your’ ideas about expressing ‘discomfiture’ at this law? Because ‘me’ “I” am outraged.

I was saddended when Perdue eked out a win against Stacey Abrams. His win was so close that it seemed extremely suspicious considering the political hanky-panky that goes on in many states and especially in the South when a black woman is very very close to winning an election for governor. I was not surprised by his very very close win. He will be another awful governor and Georgia has had some doozies in the past. When I moved there in the early 60’s it was the guy who liked to brandish an axe handle. But there were also a number of governors who were not totally awful. The OrangeHorror has so divided this country in every way possible that Abrams was a long shot to win unfortunately. But she came very very close and that should scare the pants off of Perdue and his minions.
The insanely harsh abortion law will be history and hopefully not too many lives will be ruined or crippled by it. My husband and I moved to the west coast in 86. I enjoyed living in the Atlanta suburb where we built our dream house. Within a decade that suburb and others around it had turned black. We had black neighbors when we lived there but white flight apparently ruined any idea of a mixed race subdivision. This is a perpetual problem in the South.
If we vote out the OrangeHorror and many of the creatures who support him hopefully the harsh abortion laws will also be voted out as the poisonous culture that he cultivated & encouraged receeds. One can hope. I have family in Georgia. I wish they were closer so I could see them more than once in a blue moon.
Hopefully once the OrangeHorror is evicted from the White House the level of hatred and division in this country will decline. But I also know there is a culture deeply entrenched in the southern states and a few others that is toxic. Changing that any time soon probably isn’t going to happen.

Yep. Seems that a record of success for the tactic is more persuasive than your surmises. Shocking, just shocking how liberals can be influenced by facts. Clearly shows bias.
Why do you keep ignoring the threat the these laws pose to.the lives of women who come from.out of state to work on these films?

Your mistake is believing that gopers want to end abortion because of some deep seated religious belief when in actuality it’s a financial interest.
Must keep the slaves breeding, who else will do all the domestic work and hard laborious jobs?

No, I know it has nothing to do with their religion. It’s all to pull in the voters that believe in it. Watch this Chomsky clip. He has a good clear explanation of why republicans and democrats push what they push. The abortion part is at about 4 minutes in. You can spend this clip up to 2x and still understand Chomsky pretty well.

Trump could shoot a movie on any one of the 3,000 “Peachtree” streets/avenues/boulevards/lanes in GA and he’d never lose a vote.
Time, flat circles, and all that.
David Purdue is one of the most idiotic apologists the GOP Georgia has; he likely has no personal opinion about woman’s reproductive rights vs the state passing and enforcing this abominable violation of health and privacy, if he does its malleable. What he does know is that a lot of the white evangelicals that constitute his base in Georgia identify outlawing abortion as their major goal. For greasy corporate tool’s like Pure-doo it’s solely a means to an end, staying in office.
In fact the GOP (thanks to Karl Rove) has been spending decades baking this resonant grievance into rural southern white people. So of course he’ll minimize the economic fallout to the state’s various industries. And let’s face it, if so called conservative’s in Georgia worry about facing the actual consequences of this pseudo christianist-fascist statute, they likely won’t have to deal with it anyway, as they can send their daughters or wives out-of-state for the procedure. If the courts overturn it, at least they tried and further cement the white-right’s loyalty to them, if the courts uphold it which may be likely now if it gets to SCOTUS, then they “triumph”
win-win
It’s poor people who will suffer from it, it always is. And down in Georgia, poverty is viewed as a punishable defect in character, especially if you aren’t white.

You want to find scenery and extras similar to Georgia? Hell, even Southwestern Wisconsin could work for a Squidbillies shoot! Seriously, without landmark architecture, Louisville could be a stand-in for Atlanta. Film makers, just kick the Georgia dust from your shoes and GTFO!
Wisconsin farmers, both Trump voters and normal people, will be taking a beating, as prices for their diary products, corn, and soybeans tumble due to the Candycorn Skidmark’s tariff war with China! Many farmers have loans out for seed, fertilizer, and equipment, that are riding on selling the crops.
The purpose of the boycott IS TO HURT GEORGIA. The idea is for people who get hurt to get after their elected officials. The swine in the Georgia legislature who put the ban on abortion out there need some hurting. People have to get registered and then vote Democrat!
How about stop buying Coca-Cola products?

So all the people that are fighting against this…you just throw them out as well? Did you even read my comment??? You are cutting off your nose to spite your face. Its just utter stupidity. You are only HELPING the people that wrote the God Damn Law!!!
They’re not the only hub in the hub ; - )
Just guessing here, but probably not quite as much as the entire state of California.
It is true, of course, that puddles of shit have a good deal of biodiversity, as well as a good deal of value, if allowed to return to the natural environment. Something about microbes, soil and earthworms, but I digress.
