Joining others in the entertainment industry, Tiffany Haddish is now protesting Georgia’s “fetal heartbeat†abortion ban by refusing to perform in the state. According to CNN, the Secret Life of Pets 2 star has reportedly postponed a stand-up show scheduled for June 22 at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre “until they withdraw Measure HB481.â€
“After much deliberation, I am postponing my upcoming show in Atlanta,†the comedian and actress said in a statement. “I love the state of Georgia, but I need to stand with women and until they withdraw Measure HB481, I cannot in good faith perform there.†The controversial bill was signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp in May, and effectively bans abortions after six weeks. A spokesperson for the theater told CNN that ticket holders will be refunded.
