Companies like Netflix and Disney are reconsidering their considerable investment in the state over its abortion laws.
Anti-abortion groups in Georgia have called for a counter boycott against the online streaming giant Netflix, one week after the internet company said it would be rethinking investment in the state over its restrictive abortion laws.
"Netflix, among other film industry giants, is using intimidation in order to force Georgians to trade innocent human lives for money," Georgia Right to Life executive director Zemmie Fleck said during a press conference Tuesday."We are here today to stand up to this intimidation so that Georgia does not lose its identity as a pro-life state that values life and we end up like New York that has legalized infanticide," the anti-abortion advocate added.
The Netflix logo is displayed at Netflix offices on Sunset Boulevard on May 29, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said the company will reconsider their 'entire investment' in Georgia if a strict new abortion law is not overturned in the state.
