Houston's own Travis Scott will be donating all of his merchandise profits from an Alabama music festival to Planned Parenthood amid backlash toward the state's lawmakers for outlawing abortions.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed the most restrictive abortion regulation into law last week, making all abortions a felony offense and providing no affirmative defenses for victims of rape or incest, according to the Associated Press. Scott, who performed at Hangout Fest in Gulf Shores, Alabama, over the weekend, is now deciding to donate all of his profits from the merchandise he sold at the festival to Planned Parenthood, according to BuzzFeed.

Scott's girlfriend Kylie Jenner posted on Instagram story her disgust with the new law, according to People. She then shared a screenshot of Scott's performance with this as the caption:

"Travis Scott is donating all his merch profits from Hangout Fest 2019 to Planned Parenthood organizations in support of women in Alabama."

The total amount of the donation was no disclosed.
