Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams have agreed to film HBO 's upcoming drama horror film, "Lovecraft Country", in Georgia, but will donate their own fees to a charity to fight an extremely restrictive bill on the subject. abortion "heartbeat" signed by Gov in the last week Brian Kemp.

This tactic is different from that of some actors and a handful of outside television and film production companies calling for a boycott of the state. It's more about working within the state to encourage change.

The bill would largely limit abortion after five or six weeks, during which time a doctor could detect a fetal heart rate.

Peele and Abrams, in a statement, said their episodic producer fees would go to the ACLU and Fair Fight Georgia, Stacey Abrams' group. Both groups are against the new law and the ACLU plans to file a federal complaint to prevent its promulgation on January 1, 2020.

Both producers said the bill was "an unconstitutional effort to further prevent women and their health care providers from making private medical decisions on their terms. Make no mistake, it is an attack aimed outright and deliberately on women. "
They also encouraged others to donate to ACLU and Fair Fight Georgia.

Anti-abortion activists have contributed to the adoption of several similar laws in other states, but they have all been shot down by the courts – until now.

Peele, previously known as comedy genius on Comedy Central's "Key & Peele", became a horrible producer after the success of "Get Out" and "We", as well as his relaunch of "Twilight Zone" on CBS All the accesses.
