A TV show being produced by Amazon Studios is leaving Georgia over the anti-abortion legislation that Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed into law earlier this month. Scouts for the 10-part series “The Power” had been in Savannah, Georgia, preparing for the arrival of director Reed Morano before she canceled her trip, according to Time magazine. The new law will take effect in 2020 and is expected to strip abortion access for millions of women in Georgia. In March, dozens of actors signed a letter to Kemp pledging to not work in the state if the bill becomes law.
