Actress Alyssa Milano has taken to Twitter to show her disdain at the state of Georgia after the Senate passed its 'heartbeat' abortion bill on Friday afternoon.
Milano is urging Hollywood film companies to stop shooting in the Peach state as it moves ever closer to approving the nation's strictest anti-abortion measures.
'There are over 20 productions shooting in GA' she wrote late Friday, '& the state just voted to strip women of their bodily autonomy. Hollywood! We should stop feeding GA economy.'
Milano who currently stars in Netflix's dark comedy Insatiable tweeted from Atlanta where she was on set playing her character Coralee Huggens-Armstrong.
Alyssa Milano tweeted that the bill, which would limit abortions to six weeks after conception, would 'strip women of their bodily autonomy'

The bill, backed by Republican Gov. Kemp, passed on a 34-18 party-line vote and would be one of the nation's strictest anti-abortion measures if it becomes law and is not blocked in court battles
The 46-year-old previously called for Hollywood to pull out of Georgia, calling it a 'totally corrupt state' that 'suppresses democracy' last November after Brian Kemp became the State's governor, defeating Stacey Abrams.
A number of productions shoot in the southern state thanks to a generous 30 percent tax credit for TV and film companies with almost 40 shows currently filming there.
On Friday there were protests and a heavy police presence as the bill banning passed which bans almost all abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected.
The bill, backed by Republican Gov. Kemp, passed on a 34-18 party-line vote and would be one of the nation's strictest anti-abortion measures if it becomes law and is not blocked in court battles.
It will now go back to the House to approve Senate changes, where it's expected to pass again.
Women in Georgia can currently seek an abortion during the first 20 weeks of a pregnancy. A heartbeat can be detected in an embryo as early as six weeks into pregnancy, before many women know they're pregnant.
Although many doctors and women's rights groups are fighting the 'heartbeat' bill, which would limit abortions once a doctor detects a heartbeat in a fetus , the business community has largely stayed on the sidelines.
Georgia lawmakers and GOP-led legislatures in several other states have pushed anti-abortion measures in hopes of getting a case before the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge its 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.

The push comes amid rising optimism among conservatives that the restrictions might prevail in the reconfigured high court that includes President Donald Trump appointees Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
A large group of women at the Georgia Capitol protested the bill dressed as characters from 'The Handmaid's Tale,' which depicts a dystopian future where women are controlled by the government and forced to breed. The activists in red cloaks and white bonnets have been an almost daily presence ever since the House passed the measure earlier this month.
The Georgia bill makes exceptions in the case of rape and incest - but only when the woman files a police report first - and to save the life of the mother. It also allows for abortions when a fetus is determined to be not compatible with life due to serious medical issues.
If signed, the law would take effect January 1, 2020.
Gov. Kemp said in a statement Friday that he looked 'forward to working with the House to ensure this legislation's final passage in the coming days.'
Similar 'heartbeat' bills have been held up in other states after legal challenges.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
