more than a month and a half has gone by since Planned Parenthood's loan cheating story hit the wire -- and the money still hasn't been returned. Despite letters from more than 120 members of Congress, calls for investigation, accusations of criminal fraud, the billion-dollar "nonprofit" has only tightened its grip on the enormous check (which, we know now, was more than double the original $80 million figure).
he eligibility rules are clear. Planned Parenthood doesn't qualify -- and they knew it. "There is not a good faith argument, in my view and in the view of the others... that they would be able to do this. So they simply have engaged in a violation of the law."
And yet, when Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) pressed the head of the SBA, Jovita Carranza, about this travesty in a June hearing, answers were hard to come by. "It's a black and white issue," Senator Hawley insisted. But Carranza, in a frustrating exchange, refused to comment on any progress the agency had holding Planned Parenthood accountable. "How are we going to conduct oversight?" Hawley demanded to know. Good question -- one that, for a month and a half, remains unresolved.
Making matters worse, it seems that Planned Parenthood isn't the only abortion group who swindled money from taxpayers under the PPP. Combing through the report of recipients this week, FRC's experts found that -- in addition to the 43 Planned Parenthood affiliates who raked in $150 million -- 21 independent abortion centers conned another $13 million out of Uncle Sam, bringing the killing businesses' borrowing to a whopping $162 million.
No wonder Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is on the war path. The Florida leader, who's spearheaded the campaign to get the money back, sent another missive to Attorney General William Barr, arguing that the loan wasn't just wrong -- but criminal. "[L]oan data disclosed to the public [Monday] by the Small Business Administration confirm that a number of Planned Parenthood Federation of America affiliates received program loans. This latest disclosure once again raises concerns that these affiliates are unlawfully participating in the program. I urge you to immediately review these loans to ensure the law is being followed and enforced.

Vile people.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
