Georgia Passes Controversial Abortion Law
By Nate Feldman
The state of Georgia in the United States passed a controversial law this week that stated it would be illegal for a woman to have an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, or the time period it takes to detect a fetus' heartbeat inside a woman's womb. Both doctors who violate this, as well as the women who seek an abortion, can be criminalized under the new rules.
Many activists in the United States who believe it is a woman's right to decide whether to have an abortion or not were outraged by the legislature. Many Hollywood companies have declared that they will boycott filming in the state of Georgia in protest of the new law. Georgia in recent years has become a popular film destination.
