A group of Senate Republicans have written to the Small Business Administration (SBA) calling for an investigation into how Planned Parenthood affiliates are still able to collect loans through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
In a letter to SBA Administrator Isabel Guzman, 25 GOP senators stated affiliates of the abortion business are still “illegally” obtaining millions of dollars from the program that has been part of the coronavirus stimulus.
The senators wrote that of the 38 Planned Parenthood affiliates that received funding, and were informed they had done so illegally, only seven returned the money.
“[T]he remaining 31 affiliates kept the received funding despite receiving notice that they had received such funds illegally,” the senators stated. “Of those 31, two affiliates actually applied and received a second draw from the program for a combined $3.6 million when additional funding was appropriated.”
Each Planned Parenthood is its own self-contained organization, with separate leadership and finances. The PPP funded other such organizations, such as the YMCA, without any whining from the usual suspects.
