On March 25, 2021, 25 U.S. Senators sent a letter to the Small Business Administration (SBA) requesting an investigation into how Planned Parenthood affiliates have been able to receive millions of dollars in COVID relief funding despite being ineligible for the funding. This is the fourth letter of its kind issued by Members of Congress in 10 months.
Signers of the bill include Senators Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and others.
Planned Parenthood, argue the senators in their latest letter, is “a national organization with central control over its affiliates which has nearly $2 billion in assets, and over 16,000 employees nationwide…” The SBA rules and guidances surrounding COVID relief funding state that businesses must be small, with no more than 500 employees, in order to qualify for the loans (which are actually grants that don’t need to be paid back).
Despite the fact that the SBA told the Planned Parenthood affiliates that received funding that they must return it, and regardless of the efforts of senators to block Planned Parenthood from receiving further funding, the abortion corporation has continued to accept additional money through the latest COVID relief bill. In this most recent letter, the senators mention just 38 of those Planned Parenthood affiliates, noting that seven of them did return the funding; however, two others actually applied for and received a second round of funding totaling a combined $3.6 million.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
