Planned Parenthood Mar Monte (PPMM), which was at the center of an undercover investigation into Planned Parenthood’s trafficking in aborted body parts, could soon be granted $2 million in federal taxpayer dollars for projects that involve “relocation and renovation” assistance.<\/p>\n

The funding comes from the “Community Project Funding<\/a>” program, which the San Francisco Chronicle<\/a>\u00a0says allows lawmakers to file a request for “pots of money for specific causes in their districts….” Each member of Congress may submit up to 10 requests for community funding to the House Committee on Appropriations to be considered for\u00a0fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills – and two of Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren’s (D-Calif.) requests asked for funding to\u00a0be split between Planned Parenthood Mar Monte (PPMM<\/a>) projects, according to the lawmaker’s disclosure letters.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Lofgren\u00a0described<\/a>\u00a0Planned Parenthood Mar Monte (PPMM<\/a>) as a “safety-net provider,” it is actually the largest Planned Parenthood affiliate in the U.S., overseeing 35 facilities and committing tens of thousands of abortions.<\/p>\n
