House Bill 481, which passed the Georgia Senate on Friday, forbids abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected except in cases of rape, incest, physical medical emergencies, or pregnancies deemed to be "medically futile."

On Tuesday, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) East and West released a joint statement blasting the law and hinting its passage would threaten the film industry's future work in the state, Deadline reported.

"This law would make Georgia an inhospitable place for those in the film and television industry to work, including our members," WGA said. "If the Georgia Legislature and Governor Kemp make HB 481 law, it is entirely possible that many of those in our industry will either want to leave the state or decide not to bring productions there. Such is the potential cost of a blatant attack on every woman's right to control her own body.

"The cost would be most deeply felt by the residents of Georgia – including those who directly work in the film and television industry, and those who benefit from the many millions of dollars it pours into the local economy," it continued, calling on leaders to derail the bill.

Citing the governor's office and the Motion Picture Association of America, Deadline added that the film industry generated $2.7 billion in direct spending for the latest fiscal year and has added more than 92,100 jobs and almost $4.6 billion in total wages to the state.
