Though major studios have so far remained quiet on Georgia's recently passed abortion law, Netflix on Tuesday said it will contest the legislation and "rethink our entire investment" in the state, should the law going into effect. Netflix chief content manager Ted Sarandos said they will continue to film in Georgia while the state's controversial abortion bill remains unenforced. This time, the Walt Disney Co. and other major studios have not publicly responded to the abortion law. Georgia has been home to productions including Disney's Marvel blockbuster Black Panther, AMC's smash series The Walking Dead and Netflix's hit sci-fi series Stranger Things. Georgia's law bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected, except in the case of rape or incest.
