(CNN)Ariana Grande has made a monetary protest of the recent wave of anti-abortion laws passed in several states.

Grande donated the proceeds from her Saturday concert in Atlanta to Planned Parenthood. The donation totaled around $250,000, People magazine reported.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a "heartbeat" bill into law on May 7. The measure, set to go into effect January 1, would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy.

Dr. Leana Wen, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said in a statement provided to CNN that "Ariana Grande's generous donation comes at a critical time -- in Georgia and across the country, anti-women's health politicians are trying to ban all safe, legal abortion."

"This is not what the American people want, nor is it something they'll stand for," Wen said. "Thanks to inspiring support like hers, Planned Parenthood can continue to fight back -- in the courts, in Congress, in state houses, and in the streets -- against these dangerous attacks on people's health and lives."
