Health access my ass!

‘You are going to have a hard time as a tech company or an entertainment company justifying putting your staff in a place where they cannot get (health) access unless they fly to another place."

https://start.att.net/news/read/category/news/article/usa_today-stacey_abrams_theres_going_to_be_an_exodus_if_geor-rgannett



Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate and rising Democratic star Stacey Abrams worries the state’s controversial abortion bill could result in an “exodus” of tech and entertainment companies who refuse to make long-term investments in Georgia.

Abrams, who narrowly lost her bid last year to become the nation’s first African American woman to be elected governor, traveled to Los Angeles earlier this month to persuade studios to continue to bring lucrative film projects to the state.

"Don’t pull out precipitously," Abrams said of her pitch to film industry executives. "But I’m also very aware there is going to be a tipping point of which, if the decision is the state of Georgia’s law stands, there’s going to be an exodus."

The Georgia law would prohibit an abortion once a fetus’ heartbeat can be detected during pregnancy. Georgia is among several states that have adopted similar laws as a possible challenge to Roe v Wade, the long-standing Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.

Abrams says she said some film companies might continue to shoot feature films in Georgia that can be completed over the next two years, but she worries the entertainment industry and some tech companies will eschew longer-term commitments, working on the assumption that the Supreme Court accepts and rules on a case in 2020 or 2021.

IF the nation’s high court overturned Roe v. Wade, that could mean Georgia’s fetal heartbeat law, signed by Republican governor Brain Kemp, would become the state’s prevailing law on abortion.

Tech aint going nowhere. Check out what's going on here in Augusta with Ft. Gordon and the new tech center. And as far as Hollyweird, Clint Eastwood just announced he's about to start filming another movie here. Stacy Abrams can F.R.O.

Lets see here, the gap-toothed no talent, no experienced, make believe leader of Ga. people thinks this bill is a bad thing. Along with Hollyweird people and the Dems.

This must be the best thing the law makers in Ga. have ever created.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Promise? Oh please don’t tease me Stacey.......On a serious note, the GOP have got to get better at messaging and counter the “access to healthcare” BS line. This is all about control and killing babies, not general well-being of the mother horseshit.

Bullshit.

Money talks in the business world.

Hollywood will pander a little and then it will fade away to the next boogeyman.

Not enough tech companies or producers will lose millions on SJW pandering....they’ll play to them a bit but money talks and HonK! Walks.

Lol. She lost to the weakest dead-fish R candidate you could throw out there.

That was with all the movie industry clout, with “A” list stars pandering to everyone in Atlanta, and Oprah going door to door.

I think she raked in millions from out of state money to tamper with Georgians.....yet lost when the deck was stacked to her side.
