Edit: im dumb 
I am only an expert on bird law so I wanna hear you guys' opinion. Personally I find the whole thing pretty despicable regardless if its illegal or not because they are trying to abuse their financial power for legislative change. The issue of abortion being right or wrong is not what I am here to discuss so hope people can stay on topic:
Alyssa Milano and around 100 other celebrities basically tried to strong-arm the government in Georgia to change official policies by depriving them of workers/revenue/job creation.
(Letter sent to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp)
"But we cannot in good conscience continue to recommend our industry remain in Georgia if H.B 481 becomes law"
"We want to stay in Georgia. We want to continue to support the wonderful people, businesses and communities we have come to live in the Peach State. But we will not do so silently, and we will do everything in our power to move our industry to a safer state for women if H.B. 481 becomes law."
So here is here is the thing that makes me wonder if this could actually be used to accuse them of extortion:
"The use of force, or the threat of force, to obtain money, something else of value, or services from a person is often known as the criminal offense of extortion. Many jurisdictions classify extortion as a “crime against property” or a theft-related offense, but the threat of harm to a person is an essential element of the offense. This could consist of physical harm, financial harm, destruction of property, or abuse of official power."
"California’s extortion statute, which defines the offense based on two elements, the alleged perpetrator’s objective and the means used, offers a good example of extortion’s legal definition. The statute prohibits a person (1) from obtaining someone else’s property or “an official act of a public officer;” (2) by wrongfully using force against the person, instilling fear of harm in the person, or acting “under color of official right.”
According to Alysa Milano going through with the act (which they did) would "chase billions of dollars out of the state economy"
