Pro-life leaders denounce Netflix’s threat to boycott Georgia over pro-life law

Netflix has become the latest, and arguably the biggest, entertainment name threatening to boycott Georgia over its recently-enacted heartbeat law, provoking several pro-lifers to threaten their own boycott of the streaming service.
