‘benghazi:’ The Illegal Lengths Democrats Took To Kill Kids
Planned Parenthood isn’t doing well.
Some 50 clinics closed in just the last year, including in states where abortion is still legal. It’s probably just as well because, according to the New York Times, patients at Planned Parenthood have experienced botched abortions, misplaced IUDs, and sewage leaking into recovery rooms.
The organization and its affiliates blame funding issues on the Trump administration’s recent moves to cut the federal flow of cash by refusing to cover the organization under Medicare. That’s not quite accurate — back in the 1990s, Planned Parenthood ran some 900 clinics serving 5 million women. Today, that number is 600 clinics serving 2.1 million. While many closures have happened in the last few years, the trend started before Congress tried to defund the organization. (READ MORE: New Planned Parenthood Report Has a Disturbing Takeaway)
This is fantastic news. Yes, Planned Parenthood hit an all-time high in baby-killing in 2023-2024 when it killed 434,450 children across the U.S., but it’s flailing desperately to stay afloat. It turns out that it’s much harder to get ahold of finances when you don’t have a friendly administration working overtime to funnel funds to you.
Yes. You read that right.
Because, apparently, Biden-era officials at the Small Business Administration (SBA) were very interested in making sure that Planned Parenthood affiliates got their $88 million in loans — so much so that they adopted codewords to throw journalists and Republican congressmen off the scent.
You probably remember that, back when COVID was keeping workers at home and on payroll, the government offered small businesses forgivable loans to help them keep paying their employees while those employees were forced to adopt couch-potato lifestyles. The program was called the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP.
Among the businesses that applied for those loans were 38 Planned Parenthood affiliates. The thought was that the affiliates themselves might qualify as small businesses, even if the larger organization did not. Republicans in Congress, of course, didn’t agree. In May 2020, under the first Trump administration, they forced SBA to admit that the affiliates shouldn’t get the loans and that they would need to pay the government back. The SBA even sent out letters to Planned Parenthood affiliates informing them that they weren’t eligible for the extra funding.
Everything might have been fine, except that Joe Biden won the election six months later. Sure, the SBA had already admitted that Planned Parenthood affiliates shouldn’t get loans, but the administration and the Democrats in power weren’t interested in making them pay anything back. The trouble was, Republicans were hounding them in early 2021 for an update.
So the SBA general counsel at the time, Peggy Hamilton, sent an email titled “Benghazi (PPP/PPH) Decisions.” Hours later, she followed it up with a DM to her chief of staff: “Can I schedule a meeting so we can decision on Benghazi (Planned Parenthood).” (READ MORE: Washington’s Abortion Pill Free-for-All Shatters Dems’ ‘Choice’ Façade)
You know, just in case anyone was wondering what Benghazi — a city in Libya — had to do with anything.
That email chain stuck around for months.
By late May 2021, Republicans in Congress were demanding unredacted documentation on the whole issue from the SBA. Feeling the pressure, a Microsoft Teams meeting was scheduled “to discuss forgiveness.” The title? “Benghazi (PPP/PPH) Decisions.”
As Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) noted in her letter to the Department of Justice uncovering the matter earlier this week, “[I]t appears several Biden political appointees, and some SBA employees, were knowingly concealing or attempting to conceal their records relating to Planned Parenthood.”
Of course, the whole thing was very illegal. No one is supposed to be trying to conceal federal records, and doing so can result in a fine and imprisonment for up to three years. That’s something that, if common sense wasn’t the giveaway, Hamilton should have known. She’d been a lawyer for three decades.
Whatever happened to those Planned Parenthood loans? Well, 34 out of the original 38 were eventually forgiven. So yes, Planned Parenthood managed to get tens of millions of taxpayer dollars despite the fact that it didn’t qualify for them. Whoops.
This is, of course, an egregious example of corruption: our hard-earned income ended up in the hands of doctors who want to kill our children. But it’s just one incident among many in the “Swamp.” We have a systemic issue of individuals entrenched in numerous agencies and organizations who seek to accomplish their political agendas, even if they have to commit illegal acts to do so. At this point, it’s almost impossible to get rid of the agencies and organizations, so we might as well convince the individuals that breaking the law has consequences.
So let’s prosecute these people. Let’s send them to jail for the three years the law calls for. Let’s fine them. Maybe, just maybe, if we do it enough, our bureaucrats will serve us, not their political agenda.
