(The Christian Institute) — Netflix and Disney have threatened to remove their business from the state of Georgia after the governor signed into law a bill seeking to protect the unborn beginning at approximately six to eight weeks gestation.
Prior to the law being passed, fifty Hollywood actors, including Sean Penn, Alec Baldwin and Ben Stiller, called on production companies to boycott the state and said they would not work there if the law came into force.Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos warned that the entertainment giant would “rethink our entire investment” and fight the law alongside the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).The late preacher Leonard Ravenhill once said, “People say we have no king and queen in America. I say we have a king in America. His name is ‘sport,’ and his wife’s name is ‘entertainment.’ And I’m convinced … that entertainment is the devil’s substitute for joy.”
