'We are the party of freedom and opportunity. We value and protect innocent life — even though that makes C-list celebrities squawk,' Gov. Brian Kemp said.
Georgia governor Brian Kemp dismissed calls for a boycott of the state on Saturday following the passage of a law that outlaws abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected.
“I have to be there for another month but you can be sure I will fight tooth and nail to move Insatiable to a state that will protect our rights. And if it doesn’t move to another state, I will not be able to return to the show if we are blessed with a third season. This is my leverage. I will use it for the betterment of society and our great country," Milano told BuzzFeed via email.
Speaking Saturday at the Georgia Republican convention, Kemp shrugged off threats of boycotts and other protests, saying,"I understand that some folks don’t like this new law. I’m fine with that. We’re elected to do what’s right – and standing up for precious life is always the right thing to do.” Productions that have filmed in Georgia include AMC's The Walking Dead and many of the movies in the Marvel franchise, including Avengers: Endgame, which has grossed over $741 million in the United States alone.
