Film production relocates to NC, citing abortion ban in Arkansas

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Citing a near-total ban on all abortions in Arkansas following the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, a movie originally set to film in Arkansas is instead moving production to North Carolina, where abortion is still legal with some restrictions.

News of the film, “Eric Larue,” moving states because of the abortion ban was reported Tuesday by entertainment news site Deadline.

The movie was supposed to begin filming in Little Rock, Arkansas, this week, but producer Sarah Green sent communication to the state’s film commissioner Tuesday that the film would be relocating to Wilmington, NC, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

The news comes on the heels of last year’s record-breaking performance for the film industry in North Carolina, and marks a stark contrast to the role North Carolina’s laws and policies on social issues have played in the state’s ability to attract productions — or not — in recent years.

4. This isn't just a matter of political sympathy for reproductive rights

A lack of abortion access is a serious health issue to members of the crew, many of whom are women of reproductive age.

7. Every dollar, every penny...

you spend is a vote for the kind of world you want.

Sometimes, most or even ALL times, it can be a choice between two evils…but we must all do our best. Even if it means not spending that dollar or cent at all.
