Senator Rand Paul Forces Dems to Remove Relief Bill Provision That Would Have Funded Planned Parenthood
Senator Rand Paul forced Democrats to remove a coronavirus relief bill provision that would have allowed every Planned Parenthood in the nation to receive money through the Paycheck Protection Program.
Senator Paul said that the Democrats were attempting to “fund their radical agenda on the taxpayers’ backs.”
“Democrats knew this was never about COVID relief or helping small businesses,” Paul told Fox News. “It was a shameless attempt to fund their radical agenda on the taxpayers’ backs, and I was successful in preventing that from happening by stopping these funds from going to abortion mills.”
The Democrats plan was to treat individual Planned Parenthood locations as “separate and distinct entities,” making each one eligible for federal assistance under the PPP.
