Ilana Glazer Moved Upcoming Film From Georgia Over Abortion Law

Ilana Glazer joined Hasan Minhaj for a candid conversation about the restrictive abortion laws recently passed by a number of states, including Alabama and Georgia, in a new clip from Netflix's Patriot Act.

During the conversation, the comedian and actress admitted that she was hesitant to discuss the legislation on social media. "I'm paralyzed in fear and depression over it," she said.

Earlier this month, Georgia passed a law banning abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy. Just a few days later, Alabama passed a law making performing an abortion at any stage of a pregnancy a punishable felony. The abortion provider faces up to 99 years to life in prison and the only exception is if the woman's health is at serious risk.

Glazer said during the conversation that she chose not to film an upcoming project in Georgia due to the law. "It sucks because the people of Atlanta are stoked and hustling and the city is just groovin' on making so much stuff," she said.
