Senate Democrats are calling on the Small Business Administration (SBA) to stop pressuring Planned Parenthood centers to return loans they received from the coronavirus stimulus package.
Forty-one Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), sent a letter dated Friday to the Treasury Department and SBA refuting Republicans’ claims that the centers do not qualify for the loan program and blasted efforts to have Planned Parenthood return the money as “ideological.”
“It is critical that the SBA implement the PPP [Paycheck Protection Program] as Congress directed, without ideological efforts to treat certain nonprofit organizations differently from others,” they wrote.
