WASHINGTON, D.C. (8 July 2020) – Today, American Life League executive director Jim Sedlak and founder of STOPP International released the following statement regarding the recent discovery that 42 Planned Parenthood affiliates (out of 49) and two related groups improperly received Payroll Protection Program money totaling between $66 million and $151 million. This news comes as of July 6, 2020, when the Small Business Administration released the list of entities that received the PPP funds. According to Sedlak:

Planned Parenthood actually believes that it is entitled to every penny of taxpayer money it can get—even illegally. From day one, the Payroll Protection Program made it clear that Planned Parenthood affiliates were not allowed to receive the PPP loan funds. Yet, the organization ignored the rules and stole money from the American people. The real horror here is that thousands of truly small businesses—those entitled to the funds—could not get them because Planned Parenthood pilfered the money. Planned Parenthood claims to “care,” but in reality it only cares about its bank accounts.
