Awww … what a heartwarming tribute to moms everywhere:
‘Mom’ Trades Emmy Campaign for $250K Donation to Planned Parenthood https://t.co/OvBjEhegJp
— Variety (@Variety) May 18, 2017
More from Variety:
Producers and stars of the CBS/Warner Bros. TV sitcom “Mom” have decided to make a $250,000 donation to Planned Parenthood rather than mount an Emmy campaign this year.
“Mom” star Allison Janney and series co-creator/exec producer Chuck Lorre on Thursday launched the effort to raise awareness of the threat to Planned Parenthood funding as the Republican-backed American Health Care Act makes its way through Congress. Janney and Lorre are expected to appear on “CBS This Morning” to encourage fans to donate to the non-profit family planning and health care org through a special link established as part of the “Mom” campaign.
…
“Mom” stars Janney and Anna Faris as a mother and daughter who are both recovering from alcohol and drug abuse and other challenges. The show is known for its bold mix of comedy and drama in tackling real-life issues faced by people from all walks of life. Janney won back-to-back supporting comedy actress Emmys for her work on the show in 2014 and 2015. “Mom” was renewed in March for a fifth season.

Yes. If by “SMART,” you mean “GROTESQUE.”
But ghouls are giving the move a standing ovation:
Awesome. https://t.co/6Cln5CZ0vC

If there’s one silver lining, it’s this:
With personal donation like this, PPA no longer needs government support! Yea!
