Senate Republicans Call for Probe into Planned Parenthood Receipt of Coronavirus Funds

Dr. Susan Berry 29 Mar 2021

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.

Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner posted the letter from the senators to Guzman in which the Republicans emphasized that not only do the rules of the PPP state Planned Parenthood affiliates are ineligible for the funds, but also SBA had already informed the affiliates they were not eligible and demanded that funds already doled out be returned.

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.”

A little late for that.  You had ample opportunity to block the bill.  But you deemed it more important to be home over the weekend than to challenge half a billion in payola to the Democrat Party's most loyal contributor.
