                           PLANNED PARENTHOOD

  (Mrs. BLACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACK. As a nurse for over 40 years, I have spent my career 
protecting life. As a Congresswoman, I am proud to continue this 
critical fight for life.
  With former Congressman Mike Pence's blessing, I have reintroduced 
his legislation, the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act.
  This bill will ensure that no Federal funds are given to Planned 
Parenthood or any other organization that abuses their privileges as 
health care providers and fails to protect life.
  It is long past time for Congress to respect the will of the American 
people and to stop taxpayer-funded abortions, a heinous abuse of the 
law and destruction of innocent life.
  I urge my colleagues to stand up for life and to support this 
important legislation.
