The legislation, which bans abortion after a detectable heartbeat (around six weeks gestation),\u00a0has received significant backlash from entertainers and production companies who have threatened to boycott the state because of the law. In this latest act of protest,\u00a0Grande donated the proceeds of her recent Atlanta concert to Planned Parenthood. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/music\/ariana-grande-donates-concert-proceeds-to-planned-parenthood\/\">PEOPLE<\/a> magazine, the amount was close to $250,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAriana Grande\u2019s generous donation comes at a critical time \u2014 in Georgia and across the country, anti-women\u2019s health politicians are trying to ban all safe, legal abortion,\u201d Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen told PEOPLE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to inspiring support like hers, Planned Parenthood can continue to fight back \u2014 in the courts, in Congress, in state houses, and in the streets \u2014 against these dangerous attacks on people\u2019s health and lives. We are so grateful to Ariana for her longstanding commitment to supporting women\u2019s rights and standing with Planned Parenthood to defend access to reproductive health care. We won\u2019t stop fighting \u2014 no matter what,&#8221; said Wen.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what &#8220;reproductive health care&#8221; means to Planned Parenthood:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CFZDhM5Gwhk\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/washington-post-pinocchios-planned-parenthood-abortion-deaths\/\">Washington Post: Four Pinocchios for Planned Parenthood lie on abortion deaths<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wen&#8217;s statement couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth.
