- Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers and advocacy groups received nearly $2 billion from the federal government from 2019 to 2021, according to a new report.
- The new report from the Government Accountability Office showed groups that advocate legal abortion obtained at least $1.89 billion in public funds from federal and state governments, according to the offices of Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ).
- “It is appalling that big abortion providers are continuing to receive billions of dollars in federal taxpayer funding,” Blackburn, who commissioned the report along with Smith and Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO), said in a statement. “While small businesses struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic, Planned Parenthood illegally siphoned over $90 million from the Paycheck Protection Program, specifically designed to help our mom and pop shops keep their doors open.”
- In January of last year, 142 senators and representatives signed the request for the GAO report.
