Pressure continues to mount on the Small Business Administration regarding enormous loans they continue to send to Planned Parenthood affiliates even though they are ineligible. New Hampshire Right to Life filed a complaint last week regarding a $2,717,300 loan issued to Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.

The Paycheck Protection Program was set up in March 2020 to provide small businesses with less than 500 employees the ability to pay their employees during government lockdowns. Despite the fact that Planned Parenthood is an enormous business with far more than 500 employees, the corporation took advantage of the program to take millions of dollars meant for small businesses.

“The SBA has already determined that the Planned Parenthood affiliate structure is such that it was unlawful to apply for the PPP funds; therefore, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England should return the taxpayer funds,” said Jason Hennessy, president of New Hampshire Right to Life.

Just last month, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said that the SBA had not responded to the Senate Small Business Committee's inquiry as to why Planned Parenthood affiliates continue to receive PPP loans. Affiliates have received over $90 million in loans so far.
