Alyssa Milano has submitted a letter to Georgia House Speaker David Ralston and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp urging them to vote against HB 481, aka the anti-abortion “Heartbeat Bill.”
Milano’s letter pledges to relocate Georgia’s filming industry to a safer state for women if the bill becomes law. It was co-signed by almost 50 additional actors, including Alec Baldwin, Amy Schumer, Gabrielle Union, Rosie O’Donnell, Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Uzo Aduba, Christina Applegate, Ben Stiller, Sean Penn, Georgia native David Cross, Don Cheadle, Mia Farrow, Colin Hanks and Amber Tamblyn.
The “Heartbeat Bill” would effectively ban abortions in the state, as it would make them illegal a mere six weeks after conception, or when a heartbeat can be detected. The Georgia House of Representatives has not yet voted on the bill.
