“No hay ambigüedad en la legislación aprobada o en el registro público en torno a la aprobación que organizaciones tales y como Planned Parenthood, cuya organización principal tiene cerca de $500 millones de dólares en activos, no son elegibles para el Programa de Protección de Pago de Cheques”, Rubio dijo. “Esos fondos deben ser devueltos de inmediato. Además, la Administración de Pequeños Negocios (SBA, por sus siglas en inglés) debería abrir una investigación sobre cómo estos préstamos se otorgaron en clara violación de las reglas de afiliación aplicables y si Planned Parenthood, los bancos, o el personal de la SBA sabian que estaban violando la ley, se deben buscar todas las opciones legales apropiadas”.
