NBCUniversal Says Abortion Laws Will Impact Studio's Decisions

(Bloomberg) -- Comcast Corp.'s NBCUniversal, responding to a series of abortion bans passed in states around the U.S., said the laws could affect its decision to film in certain areas if the legislation is upheld.

“We fully expect that the heartbeat bills and similar laws in various states will face serious legal challenges and will not go into effect while the process proceeds in court,” the entertainment company said in an emailed statement. “If any of these laws are upheld, it would strongly impact our decision-making on where we produce our content in the future.”
