             ILLEGAL BABY PARTS SALES BY PLANNED PARENTHOOD

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, yesterday my colleague from Alabama, 
Congresswoman Martha Roby, spoke eloquently on the floor following the 
extremely disturbing and unsettling video that surfaced, showing 
Planned Parenthood's top doctor caught on camera explaining how 
abortion industry professionals illegally sell the body parts of 
aborted babies.
  I rise today to thank her for her conviction and join her in raising 
awareness of this horrific development.
  Planned Parenthood still is the largest abortion provider in the 
Nation and still somehow receives Federal dollars.
  The video literally states in graphic, horrendous detail the 
procedure in how she can crush the baby's body without damaging the 
organs tissue brokers are seeking at the rate of $30 to $100 for fetal 
body parts, allowing this organization to profit off taking the life of 
an unborn child.
  These revelations are not only inhumane and barbaric, they raise many 
questions of legality and integrity. Federal law explicitly prohibits 
the harvesting, sale, and use of tissue and body parts of aborted 
children for payment.
  I urge my colleagues not only to watch this video, but to also take a 
serious look at the practices of this organization. I will join efforts 
to demand a congressional investigation into the practices of Planned 
Parenthood and organizations like that.
