"Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) is spearheading an effort to investigate Planned Parenthood receiving loans from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was created exclusively to deliver economic relief to small businesses. Multiple Planned Parenthood affiliates were successfully approved for PPP loans, to the tune of $80 million worth of taxpayer dollars. The “women’s health” organization, and the nation’s largest abortion provider, already receives millions from taxpayers annually.

"With the support of 28 other GOP colleagues, Sen. Loeffler wrote to the Treasury Department’s Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery (SIGPR), Brian Miller, asking that he determine if Planned Parenthood knowingly committed fraud:

"'We write, therefore, to ask that you review the loans made to at least 43 Planned Parenthood affiliates. Specifically, we ask that you investigate how these affiliates were able to obtain PPP loans despite their ineligibility under the Small Business Administration's (SBA) affiliation rules, whether any Planned Parenthood affiliates knowingly provided false information in their PPP loan applications, and to what extent the parent organization, Planned Parenthood for America (PPFA), was involved in the application process for said loans,” the letter reads.'"
