Awww … what a heartwarming tribute to moms everywhere:

‘Mom’ Trades Emmy Campaign for $250K Donation to Planned Parenthood https://t.co/OvBjEhegJp

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.

@EW @aguirreryan THIS IS SO SMART!

Yes. If by “SMART,” you mean “GROTESQUE.”

But ghouls are giving the move a standing ovation:

Awesome. https://t.co/6Cln5CZ0vC
