BoycottAmazonStudios

I couldn't be happier!

Georgia must be devastated.

Who cares!

Good deal!

Amazon also supported the use of selling facial recognition today. Just an FYI.

They should film that trashy product in la it would be more realistic amongst the piles of trash and human feces

lata ✌️

I ABOUT HOSPITAL ABORTION SAY ON 2019 MJA TO ATTN TO SHOW WAS THERE

Who cares?

C-ya!

If more people pulled out of Georgia sooner you wouldn’t have to worry about abortions.

I was hoping would leave Georgia too

LOVE I WHEN GAVE BIRTH TO Skye MY BED FACED THE DOOR WITH Brooke THE OTHER WAY MY BED FACED THE WALL THEN LEFT TO DOOR

Or new York because AOC booted them out ?

This is fitting. Anti-abortion groups will no doubt try to organize boycotts of states with pro choice friendly laws.

Boycott all red states

Good

I am sure Georgians are heartbroken

Bye Felicia....

That has zero affect on them.

ZZZZzzzz

It is their choice to do. God allowed us to make choices for ourselves didn't he?

AT THE HOSPITAL MAY 17 I THOUGHT ABORTIO N BECAME CHOICE AGAIN AND WENT TO MY DOOR & TOLD THAT TALL CUTE BLACK guy AND BEAUTIFUL BLACK woman THE ANSWER CAME HIME AND WAS BACK TO NO ABORTIONS

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great message for your base! Preserve your 1% base (the ideologues), preserve your profits!

“Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish” Other, open-minded, film companies will come in to take your place...

Sorry Georgia but you did the wrong thing.. Hello!!! Our women are in charge of this debate and your politicians ruined your image.. So bad

Good!! Every business should BOYCOTT THESE STATES: BoycottGeorgia , BoycottAlabama boycottohio

Good for all the women that have lost their right to make a choice!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Aww their loss

So Governor Kemp , is Amazon third tier media ?

They film in Georgia because of its scenery, tax breaks, & incentives by the state. Lots of states offer things to bring in the film companies. Georgia has a lot filming there. Probably great deals. If they choose not to film there, that’s on them & their pocket books. GA DGAF 🤷🏼‍♂️

I've heard of Georgia but I've Never heard of the Amazon show. Interesting. KAG

Good. Let those Leftists stay in California where they belong.

And so they should. The competent citizens of Georgia (or even Alabama) should vote out those vile GOP individuals who passed this into law. They are not fit for office. A woman’s right to abort should be up to that individual, not a government dictatorship.

Our running club cancelled a 220 person, 3 day event from downtown Atlanta for early next year. Board voted to cancel and move it to a more northern state and city.

Funny thing is, I don't see anyone begging them to stay.

That makes such sense to punish the people

I WOULD LIKE TO BE THERE FOR births IF U WANT

Georgia doesn't give a fuck. FYI.

Good 3

Tv or movie over a late term abortions. Haha

Well I’m glad the parents of the film makers didn’t abort you!

Cool. I’ll be able to get through traffic easier

Good, do it in San Francisco, or Seattle, but be careful not to step in all the homeless in the streets

That will show people who value the life of an unborn child..

Nobody Cares

So they are for killing babies....

How does Alabama's near-total abortion ban bill compare to Georgia's 'fetal heartbeat' law?Georgia passed one of the most restrictive abortion bills in the US. How does Alabama's abortion bill legislators are currently weighing stack up? The GOP war on women is real. They believe what we do with our bodies is the business of old white men, not our own. Sure, StaceyAbrams legitimately lost the Georgia Governor's Office Election 🙄 Just go to a different state if you dont like it. I think in Virginia you can off the little guy until he's 5.

As celebrities slam anti-abortion laws, Hollywood's power comes into focus in GeorgiaAs 'heartbeat' abortion bans face legal challenges across the country, Hollywood's influence is coming into particular focus in Georgia — the 'Hollywood of the South.' They deserve to be boycotted for punishing half the human race. Not as much “Sway” as they would like. This is really a “Nothing Burger” if ever there was one. Most of Alabama will be glad to see them leave! When an animal is almost extinct, the pro abortion people suddenly change their minds on when life begins, just so they can save a species from becoming extint. But when it comes to a Human Life, science is a guessing game.
