'Shut it down.' Director Spike Lee is calling for Hollywood production companies to leave Georgia over a law that would ban abortions as early as six weeks.

Most studios that have commented have said they're waiting to see if the so-called"heartbeat" law actually takes effect next year, or if the courts will block it. But at the arrivals line for Denzel Washington's American Film Institute lifetime achievement tribute Thursday, Lee said now is the time for Georgia-based productions to"shut it down" and boycott the state's booming film industry to drive change.

Lee acknowledged that a mass exodus could dent livelihoods, but cited black bus drivers affected by the Civil Rights Movement-era boycott in Montgomery."You've got to be on the right side of history, and the state of Georgia and those other states, they're wrong," he added.

Abortion is not healthcare and is not a right ! spikelee SenGillibrand Alyssa_Milano and all you nimrods a pre born Human life is just as precious as a Turtle or an Eagle .. AbortionIsMurder AbortionIsNotHealthcare

How ignorant can Spike Lee be? Apparently he's ok with HIS race being killed off! Abortion was created to get rid of what was considered the 'lesser' race!

Spike Lee should know better. Abortion is wrong let’s debate

Buh-bye!👋🏼

I will continue to enjoy Georgia, I won’t be going to any more Spike Lee movies. One Georgia peach has more value than your opinion.

realDonaldTrump Disney CNN FoxNews spikelee saw spike lees whining about Georgia.Typical entitled Hollywood hack.They put up with Weinstein, casting couch, sleep their way to the top but don’t protect newcomers . Film in countries that arrest, or kill lbgt and oppress women

Goodbye Mr. Lee, it's babies before movies, every-single-time.

officialspikelee Alyssa_Milano Should be mindful that their protest could cost the industry a fortune just like it did in the NFL! Americans will not tolerate abuse & immoral decisions by incompetent people about what is life or not.

That's it! I will never go see a Spike Lee movie again. Oh wait, I never have seen a Spike Lee movie. Not sure who he even is. I think it's the little midget, groupie dude who sits court side at NBA games and played Urkel on Family Matters. And his favorite word is 'racism'.

Too bad his Mom didn’t have him killed before he was born.. The World would have been better off.

Spike Lee is totally irrelevant. To think he has influence is laughable. Only in the media, noit in the real world.

I’m with Spike—The less liberal nut cases in conservative states the better. The south didn’t ask for Hollywood just a select few committees. The only reason they came is bc of the cost. Bye Hollywood. Keep your high taxes, poop maps, needles, homelessness, and loser activists.

No Spike Lee, they are not wrong, they have a different opinion than you, that's all. Just a different opinion. It is amazing how the left and most of hollywood, says you are wrong if you disagree with them. People are entitled to their opinion, just like you.

Spike Lee is full of shit he doesnt care about the Georgia abortion law. He just wants to shut down Tyler Perry who is running circles around him and his tired movies!!!! facts

Does anyone honestly care about what he thinks? No, this isn’t news. Do your job ABC

Why isn’t he out telling people to use protection instead of abortions.

Really Hollywood ? What makes you think you have the right to dictate your choice of policies to other states? Arrogance?

Does that mean no more selling anything to China or buying products used to make movies. 2 million people in prison and look how they treat productive rights there. No more going to the middle east either. What will Hollywood do? Hypocrites

(Book 2) There’s A Baby In My Stomach…Should I Kill It?... ('The lies 'white' women tell 'Black' women about...abortion'... ) BlackTwitter Groups Black Entertainers ItsTimeToTellTheTtuth Spike Lee news Black People Making BlackLivesMatter Book

It ain't him. Spike Lee dead!! Been dead for near 40 year.

I quit going to movies, had it with liberal Hollywood

Lol. Who actually cares what Spike Lee thinks? Rape and incest is one thing...an abortion shouldn't be used as birth control because someone can't take responsibility for having sex.

Nobody cares!!!

Spike Lee! Angry Man!😩

And we should care why?

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out!!!

Spike Lee is a POS and always has been!!. He's nothing more than a hateful, spiteful Racist that hates Whites!!!. I think the feeling is also mutual with Whites towards him!!! Georgia will get by without Hollywood Bozo's!!!!

Georgia is going straight to hell. The devil went down to Georgia.

I keep seeing this and every time I’m amazed at how badly they want the right to kill babies.

spikelee old fool ABC

TheLargerIssue SingleParenting ChildNeglectMaltreatment MentalHealth SOLUTIONS Peace.

His alma mater Morehouse doesn’t allow women! Shut it down too!

California should stop funding these ignorant states.

Good nobody wants that disgusting filth over there.

Spike, I’ll tel you for the last time . You are too short for this ride. Stay in the kiddie park.

Problem is there are lots of states like this. Missouri is about to have no abortion clinics at all.

Another c lister trying to push us around in ga. Not going to happen

We should only watch movies not connected to Hollywood, is that the message? I hope so!

Thank you 💗

Is Spike Lee even relevant anymore?

Spike Lee is a loser👎🏼

Love naggerspeak

Ok, we will boycott any movie that was stopped or changed venue from Georgia!!

I dont think the State of Georgia gives a hoot in hell what Spike Lee or Hollywood in general thinks. Neither do I.

Oh Spike... shhh. Babies lives matter

I didn't know he was still alive

Funny little man spike lee a Hollywood celebrity so go figure.

Since when does Spike run anything?

Let’s not go to any more movies...

Hey Spike, here's a news flash. Hollywood has been talking about this for weeks already. I don't think they need You to tell Them what They should do... But thanks for trying to keep up... LMAO...

He gets it. You go Spike!

Who hell is Spike Lee..A Black producer who thinks he's gift to Hollywood & acts as bitch in heat at awards shows because Black wasn't chosen..Why don't you make movie of 12 week fetus or older being aborted & then disposed cause someone couldn't keep her legs crossed..Shame..!!

Spike who?Nobody cares

Trust me, as a Georgia resident, we don’t care. Good riddance.

Do it. Over $10 billion a year gone from Georgia. Maybe they'll think about who they vote for next time.

Absolutely do it

GA will get over it just fine.

How about hollywood shut down all together? Stop making your garbage for good.

Abortion is protected by the Constitution as a matter of privacy. Republicans are all for Government forced childbirth.

Do like Disney and stick with China.

Do it!!!!

Georgia will survive

Leave ! Get the hell out Georgia will do just fine without Hollywood and Spike Lee . Spike Lee likes supporting a system that was designed to kill black babies,what a sad little man .

Who? Is this 1990?

I’ll help them pack. Hollywood doesn’t get to tell a state government what to do.

Adios to this agenda weaponizer, good riddons.

Hollywood should Leave Georgia and let Georgia leave the abortion decisions to the women that need them. 🔸No uterus 🔸No vote🔸

Hello? State rights? Hollywood films in countries that have worse laws that a heartbeat law.....that dies t stop them from filming nor do they boycott.

Spike you will be on the wrong side of history!

Did you listen to staceyabrams ? I think SpikeLee you need to rethink.

How about we shut Hollywood down in the name of saving the planet. If what these celebs are shoving down our throat is true, than an industry creating the carbon footprint of a small nation doesn't need to continue

Says the very bitter millionaire

No one cares what Spike Lee says he is just as bad as trump just on the other side.

I just wish Hollywood wasn't so stupid and would just make movies.

Red States need to plan on closing their tourist industry.

Hollywood film production Companies getting out of Georgia state Huge loss for the state and to some extent Economy Buisness Employment also

Boycott those brutally anti woman's rights.

Agreed. Shut it down - Like GOP-ers alway ,always say, - to everybody , ever, if you don’t like it - leave!

Anything but the briar patch.

little man Lee. He should have been aborted. Too late now I guess. spikelee

Heck ya! Hollywood is the REASON for sexual activity without commitment and mass shootings. EVERY HOLLYWOOD MOVIE HAS SEX AND KILLING IN IT.

Who is Spike Lee and why do we care? Same with Jeff Daniels, Bette Midler, etc. But I would like his Knicks tickets

Spike Lee the racist

Spike Lee is the Quentin Tarantino of AA movies. Same s*** different day.

People should quit watching Hollywood productions

Thank you, Spike Lee. Old School pills through! I always admired him (now I know why). I love when men stand up for women!!!

Don’t let your movie ass hit you on the way out.

Nah we're good. Support Georgia. Support Pro Life.

Why is Spike Lee such a fan of murdering unborn babies?

I’m with Spike Lee

How about we shut down Hollywood entirely? It's a cesspit of debauchery anyway

Traders bet on a 'very severe' spike for Beyond Meat on earningsThe skyrocketing stock of Beyond Meat could move even more on the alternative meat company's first-ever earnings report, according to the options market. Beyond Meat! First try of the meatless burger Smells like a mix of popcorn and liver cooking and a bit tricky to cook but I loved the taste and it is soy and gluten free! There is a lot of potential there. And many are focused on the fact that they are unable to keep up with demand. But they are still selling a food commodity for less than it costs to produce it and they have no way currently of changing that.
