Brian Kemp has delayed an annual trip to Los Angeles to promote Georgia's film industry as movie executives, producers and actors criticize the state's new abortion ban. Critics have called the ban unconstitutional, and abortion rights activists threatened to protest the May 22 film event. Industry workers have threatened to boycott Georgia, while some have said they would donate to groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union instead. He says Kemp will soon tour Georgia film production firms and meet with industry workers to show his support. ———Information from: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, http://www.ajc.com
