However, the project is in a very early phase, I heard. The WarnerMedia-owned premium cabler did not return requests for comment on Simon’s proclamations when contacted by Deadline. Still, despite all the attention, no details were available on Simon’s Texas HBO project.

The Wire is written, structured and themed for sentient, coherent adult viewers that can, say, distinguish between a non-viable fetus and a living infant, and would not dare venture near the internet to opine on matters until they had mastered such basics. When Baltimore says go fuck yourself, on the other hand, grab a tool and get at it, fucknuts. Or the fact that life, innocent or no, is not viable at far longer than six weeks. I don’t work for Apple, but for Time Warner, which no doubt has a variety of soulless corporate moments we could use to shout “squirrel” and avoid attending to the insane overreach in Texas. Honolulu would work but for the palm trees, shoreline and absence of square-headed, all-hat-no-cattle shitposters trying to use hack politicians to crawl into every last womb they can. My singular responsibility is to securing and maintaining the civil liberties of all those we employ during the course of a production. My response is NOT rooted in any debate about political efficacy or the utility of any boycott. WGA Strike: Disney Using "Union-Busting Tactics," Guild Says Mouse House, HBO, CBS Demand Showrunners Work Despite Labor Action - Update Wade, the Texas law weaponizes citizens to bring civil actions of $100,000 or more against almost anyone who was a part of the process of a women getting an abortion in the state after six weeks of pregnancy. An open carry challenge to the widely threatened Roe v. While defined as when a fetus develops a heartbeat, the month and a half timeline is often before many women even know they are pregnant. Worth? Īlready heading to the courts due to a challenge by the federal government and at least two suits arising out of a San Antonio physician revealing in the press this past weekend that he had recently performed an abortion in Texas, the new law went into effect earlier this month after the conservative dominated SCOTUS declined to block it.Įssentially a vigilante move, the GOP-backed Texas law outlaws a women’s right to choose once she is six weeks into her pregnancy. I’m turning in scripts next month on an HBO non-fiction miniseries based on events in Texas, but I can’t and won’t ask female cast/crew to forgo civil liberties to film there. The Wire creator took to social media this week to announce and reiterate he will not film an upcoming Lone Star-set HBO project in the state due to the odious abortion ban law recently put in place. David Simon isn’t messing with Texas, he’s done with the place - at least as a location.
