Lily Tomlin Leads Picket for Abortion Protection in Hollywood Projects Filmed in States Where Abortion Is Restricted
Breitbart ^ | 06/27/2023 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Lily Tomlin, Gloria Allred, TV producer Marta Kauffman and others mounted a picket line outside Amazon Studio in Hollywood Friday, demanding that studios put in place stronger abortion protections for film industry employees working in states that have enacted stricter abortion laws.

As the writers strike continues, a group of activists with the group “Showrunners for Abortion Rights” jumped in to use the strike to push their own cause, with Tomlin urging writers to shoehorn abortion topics into their scripts, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Lesbian. Tried to do a romantic movie with John Travolta years ago. Did not work.

How do you put in place stronger abortion protections for employees working in states with stricter laws?

Do you give them all expense paid trips to California to have their abortions? I’m really not quite sure what they are protesting.

It’s a shame her and Jane’s mother didn’t take her advice. Lily’s a dyke anyway. She doesn’t need an abortion clinic. Just a rug shampoo machine.

I don’t know what’s worse.

A bunch of Has-Been-Old-Whores, well past child bearing age, picketing in favor of abortion rights or a bunch of Harvey Weinstein’s Young-Hollywood-Whores picketing in favor of abortion rights.

BOTH groups can Go To Hell!!!!!

Abortion protection? She didn't need abortion protection even back in her heyday.

The only way she would need abortion protection would be if the Vikings raped and pillaged Hollywood. And even then, there's not enough beer in America to make her attractive.

It’s all about the Benjamins.

.....cheaper for a studio or company or a sports franchise to pay for their young female employees’ abortion, time off, and travel costs to get it, then to have to pay maternity leave and other costs associated with them giving birth.

Could care less about Tomlin or Fonda. Don’t even know why we should pay attention to them...they’re garbage.

I thought the writer’s strike was over.

Tomlinson can protest wherever she wants. The people in the states can decide for themselves. That’s what the country is all about. The laws wouldn’t be made if they didn’t get a majority of votes in the legislature. That fact is often overlooked.

I remember that movie; Moment by Moment.
It was okay, for what it was supposed to be; a romance melodrama, but the film was bombarded with awful reviews in the press. I think most the public just refused to accept the notion that John Travolta was going to be attracted to a somewhat Plain Jane - School Marmish character that Lily Tomlin was playing.

John had just spent the last two years in hugely popular, blockbuster movies; Grease and Saturday Night Fever. For many of his fans, this was too much of a break in character to accept.

Abortion is their unholy sacrament and innocent babies blood cleanses their putrid souls. Sad if they don’t get off the express train to hell before it’s too late.

The only thing being protected is the groomers and the under age actresses they prey on.

Unfortunately my inherent white privilege prevents me from giving a rats ass about anything anyone in Hollywood says abut anything. They literally are pond scum and the lowest form of life on this planet.

Showbiz and depravity have gone together since Fatty Arbuckle. If not earlier.
