DUBLIN — Abortion rights activists scored a major victory this week when several major media companies said they would rethink filming in the state of Georgia if a newly passed restrictive abortion law there goes into effect.

Now, abortion rights campaigners in Northern Ireland, a thriving film production hub in its own right, are hoping to draw the same type of response in their region, an area with an even more restrictive abortion law than the one in Georgia.

Kellie O’Dowd, co-chairwoman of the Northern Ireland reproductive rights group Alliance for Choice, said many prominent people working in the screen industry in Britain were criticizing the situation in America without acknowledging what she called “draconian” laws in Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom.

“People from Britain who work in film were saying they were concerned about what is happening in Alabama and Georgia,” she said. “But they don’t seem to know what is happening in Northern Ireland.”
