Some 37 affiliates of Planned Parenthood applied for and were approved for Paycheck Protection Program funding, despite being blocked by the 600 employee rule. One affiliate received $7.5 million, and “that affiliate was caught selling the body parts of aborted babies”, as reported by Life News. The PPP rules and regulations prohibit affiliates of larger organizations with more than 500 employees from applying. The Planned Parenthood Federation of America has more than 600 employees and has close to half a billion in assets, making them ineligible for the PPP. Pro-life advocates are calling on Trump to make the abortion giant repay the funds and launch an investigation into how the loans were approved in the first place. This is a clear violation of the rules. Sen. Marco Rubio, chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship told Fox News, “…if Planned Parenthood, the banks, or staff at the SBA knowingly violate the law, all appropriate legal options should be pursued.” The Susan B. Anthony List has also asked the Trump administration to step in on this fraudulent activity. You can go to LifeNews.com for more information.
