At the height of America’s greatest economic emergency, affiliates of Planned Parenthood brazenly pocketed $88 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans—taxpayer dollars intended for struggling small businesses.
Now the Small Business Administration has launched an iron-clad probe to determine how these abortion-industry offshoots misrepresented their size and affiliation to illegally qualify for relief.
SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler is unyielding: “No organization with more than 500 employees, directly or indirectly, was ever eligible. We will expose every affiliate that abused an emergency program meant for mom-and-pop shops.”
Under PPP rules, applicants self-certified their employee count. Planned Parenthood affiliates claimed to be standalone nonprofits under the 500-employee threshold. In reality, they operate under a national umbrella that exceeds ten times that limit.
The Biden administration’s SBA rubber-stamped forgiveness on 34 of these loans without a meaningful audit—rewarding an abortion-on-demand agenda instead of safeguarding American taxpayers.
Now 38 affiliates face subpoenas for payroll records, corporate charters and intercompany contracts. Any affiliate that fails to produce damning evidence of eligibility will be declared ineligible—and forced to repay every cent plus penalties.
SBA has clear authority to claw back misused funds, revoke forgiveness and refer cases for civil and criminal prosecution. No loophole will shield bad actors from full accountability.
Republican leaders in Congress have demanded this investigation from day one. Sen. Joni Ernst and Sen. Bill Cassidy led bipartisan pressure to uncover the truth behind these sham applications.
This probe sends a simple message: in America, every dollar of pandemic relief belongs to the people—not special-interest groups with deep political ties.
The SBA review will restore integrity to the PPP program and ensure no government relief ever again fuels an extremist agenda instead of supporting true small businesses.
