WarnerMedia said Thursday that it would "reconsider" filming new productions in Georgia if the state's "heartbeat" abortion legislation becomes law.

“We operate and produce work in many states and within several countries at any given time and while that doesn’t mean we agree with every position taken by a state or a country and their leaders, we do respect due process,” WarnerMedia, whose subsidiaries include HBO, Turner and Warner Bros., said in a statement, according to Variety.

“We will watch the situation closely and if the new law holds we will reconsider Georgia as the home to any new productions. As is always the case, we will work closely with our production partners and talent to determine how and where to shoot any given project,” the company said.

The entertainment giant's statement follows similar stances taken by Disney and Netflix. Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger told Reuters on Wednesday that it would be “very difficult” for the company to shoot films in Georgia if the restrictive abortion policy went into effect.

The comments came just a day after Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said that the organization would "rethink our entire investment in Georgia" if it became law. Netflix has also committed to "fight" the issue with the American Civil Liberties Union in court.

All three of the companies have produced popular productions in Georgia. Variety noted that WarnerMedia is currently filming HBO’s “The Outsider” and “Lovecraft Country,” as well as a Warner Bros. film, “The Conjuring 3," in the state.

The stances come as many high-profile actors and actresses voice outrage over a restrictive abortion policy Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed into law earlier this month.

The legislation bars women from receiving an abortion once a fetus has a detectable heartbeat, which generally occurs within six weeks of a pregnancy. Women may still receive an abortion if the pregnancy is believed to be "medically futile." If the measure became law, exceptions would also be granted to a woman whose life is at risk and if a police report has been filed related to rape or incest.

The measure is set to go into effect on Jan. 1, though Planned Parenthood has already vowed to sue Georgia over the legislation.

Republican governors in Ohio, Kentucky and Mississippi signed versions of what is known as the fetal "heartbeat" bill earlier this year.
