Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com-ATLANTA, Georgia-Actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish, best known for her her comedic performance at last year's Oscars and her starring role aside Jada Pinkett, Queen Latifa and Regina Hall in the hit cinema movie "Girls Trip,"  has cancelled her June 22 show in Atlanta in protest over Georgia’s controversial new abortion law.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA)

The heartbeat abortion law, signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) in May, bans abortion as soon as a physician can detect a fetal heartbeat, which can occur as early as six weeks of pregnancy, depending on the method of detection.
Such- type state laws attacking the reproductive rights of women and teens are popping up across the country, including in Kentucky and neighboring Ohio where its Republican -controlled state legislature this year passed its heartbeat law at the insistence of new Gov Mike DeWine (R-OH), a Republican power broker, and a former Ohio attorney general and prior U.S. senator.
“After much deliberation, I am postponing my upcoming show in Atlanta,” Haddish said via a statement to CNN on Saturday. “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.”

Ohio's heartbeat law came about via a bill sponsored by state Sen. Kristina Roegner (R-27), a Hudson Republican.

Senate Bill 23 is one of Ohio's most restrictive abortion bill's since Roe v Wade became law, the landmark 1973 decision that made abortion legal nationwide.

It was passed by Ohio's General Assembly along partisan lines.

DeWine campaigned for governor last year with his stance against abortion a key part of his political platform.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH)

He took office in January after defeating Democrat Richard Cordray last November in a close election, Cordray a former Ohio attorney general too, and a consumer watchdog under former president Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president.

A right-wing Republican, DeWine was adamant on the abortion issue and reproductive rights last year at a gubernatorial debate in Cleveland, the final debate before last November's election, and said he opposes abortion outright, and in any circumstance.


"I am pro-life, I have eight children," said DeWine at the gubernatorial debate in Cleveland last year. "We value human life."

He signed the controversial fetal heartbeat bill into law April 11 amid fallout, including  a protest. among others, at the Ohio State House, and led by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, and the National Organization of Women Ohio Chapter. 

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio and other state abortion clinics, led by the Ohio ACLU, have filed suit in federal district over Ohio's law, and argue that it is unconstitutional.

Ohio Attorney Dave Yost, who won election last year over Democrat Steve Dettelbach, a former district attorney for the Northern District of Ohio in Cleveland, has vowed to vigorously fight the lawsuit. 

The lawsuit in Ohio claims the new anti-abortion law is unconstitutional on its face via Roe v. Wade, and is in conflict with court rulings that permit abortion until a fetus develops, usually at about 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show...
