Planned Parenthood May Have Committed $88 Million in COVID Fraud

Last week, President Trump’s Small Business Administration sent letters to 38 Planned Parenthood affiliates asking for proof that they were eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program, also known as the COVID-19 relief program.

In 2021, STOPP founder Jim Sedlak explained that the “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,” passed by President Biden, specifically set aside $50 million for “family planning services.”

Sedlak followed this with the reminder that under the Trump administration in 2020, Planned Parenthood affiliates were able to sneak away with $80 million in PPP loans, even though they were not eligible. He explained, “Although not allowed, remember that the last PPP was specifically written to exclude Planned Parenthood, yet Planned Parenthood managed to get approximately $80 million in PPP loans anyway. Efforts by members of Congress to get Washington bureaucrats to get the money back from Planned Parenthood have not been successful. We are now expecting that Planned Parenthood will, once again, apply for and receive millions of PPP dollars under the current administration.”

Finally, it would seem that Planned Parenthood might be held accountable for this abuse of funds. The SBA is requiring that these 38 affiliates prove they were eligible for the more than $88 million in this COVID-19-era relief.

The Daily Signal reported last week that because of each affiliate’s connection to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, they violated the “less-than-500” employee qualification for the PPP loans. According to the Daily Signal, Planned Parenthood chapters that fail to supply the documentation requested by the SBA may be deemed ineligible for the loan and the subsequent forgiveness granted by President Biden and his administration.

Additionally, affiliates that the “SBA finds to have provided incorrect or false eligibility certifications will face ‘severe penalties, including repayment of the loan, ineligibility for loan forgiveness, and possible referral for civil or criminal penalties.’”

Let us pray that Planned Parenthood will face the legal ramifications of stealing the American people’s money via PPP loans. And let us continue to work for the total end of both Planned Parenthood and abortion.
