Two Republican senators are demanding information from the Small Business Administration (SBA) about how much COVID-19 aid Planned Parenthood chapters received.
Sens. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Rand Paul (R-KY) sent a letter on Friday to SBA administrator Kelly Loeffler about the abortion giant receiving funds from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was created during the pandemic to assist businesses suffering under government-imposed lockdowns, the Daily Signal first reported.
“Not a single tax dollar should fund abortions,” Ernst told the outlet. “The Paycheck Protection Program was designed to help Americans struggling during the pandemic, not to go to ineligible recipients fueling abortion-on-demand.”
“The Biden administration obstructed our investigation of potentially illegal applications of PPP loans to Planned Parenthood entities, and we are confident the Trump administration will provide the transparency the American people deserve,” Paul, a medical doctor, told the outlet.
During President Donald Trump’s first term in May 2020, the SBA deemed Planned Parenthood affiliates ineligible to receive PPP loans. The SBA at the time cited federal law barring the funding of abortions, as well as the large size of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA).
The letter alleges that the SBA under the Biden administration hid information related to PPP funding for the abortion giant’s affiliates. Ernst told the Daily Signal that the Biden administration “stonewalled my oversight efforts at every turn and prevented the American people from learning how Planned Parenthood cashed in on COVID.”
“Now that Administrator Loeffler has ushered in a new era of transparency at the SBA, I look forward to working with her to uncover the truth and stop the flow of these funds,” she said.

PP should not be receiving any public money.
You mean the same ones that signed off on that legislation that gave them the money AND the same funding in every CR AND signed by the same president?
The same ones that will keep funding them with the next CR?
We will get it straight next time though.
All that we can do is voice our concern and pray for an end to baby killing and only one of those will be acted upon. Ultimately God is the only one that cure this genocide.
COVID cash used to kill babies? Cut it, NOW!
<>No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.<>
No specific appropriation to the PP death merchants? Then any taxpayer funds sent its way are illegal.
As for the last clause, Trump/Musk will make our taxpayer expenditures transparent as our Constitution demands.
Planned Parenthood is also not a small business.
