Planned Parenthood affiliates received $90 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, meant for small businesses, during the COVID-19 pandemic, raising concerns about the organization’s eligibility.
The report also outlined substantial federal funding received by pro-abortion organizations, totaling nearly $2 billion between 2019 and 2021.
This has sparked criticism from lawmakers who argue that the funds could have been used to support struggling small businesses and provide comprehensive medical support. (Trending: Hunter Biden’s Own Memoir Is Coming Back To Haunt Him In Criminal Trial)
Sen. Marsha Blackburn called the findings “appalling.”
“While small businesses struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic, Planned Parenthood illegally siphoned over $90 million from the Paycheck Protection Program, specifically designed to help our mom and pop shops keep their doors open,” wrote Sen. Blackburn in statement.
Adding, “The American people want their tax dollars spent responsibly and in line with our nation’s values — not on the Left’s abortion-on-demand agenda.”
Rep. Chris Smith, said the $2 billion was “money that could have gone to struggling small businesses, many of which were forced to close.”
“This money would have been better spent helping the businesses that were forced to close or providing comprehensive medical support for both women and children,” added Smith.
Additionally, the report highlighted Planned Parenthood’s refusal to comply with the Trump Administration’s Protect Life Rule, leading to the discontinuation of family planning grants under Title X.
