                 FETAL ORGAN HARVESTING AND TRAFFICKING

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today saddened and horrified at recent 
media reports that Planned Parenthood, as an abortion provider, is 
harvesting or attempting to harvest and sell baby organs preserved in 
partial-birth abortion.
  It shocks and sickens the conscience of our Nation and each of us as 
human beings that these providers would use these innocent children, 
ripped from their mother's womb and their skulls crushed, to sell their 
organs for profit--organs that they have never even had a chance to 
use. It is a sad day.
  Mr. Speaker, we are becoming a more compassionate pro-life Nation 
each and every day, and all of us must speak out against these barbaric 
practices. We must ensure that these providers are prosecuted under the 
law, and we should pass whatever legislation necessary to ensure that 
we appropriately punish these heartless acts.
  We should also ensure that not one penny of American tax dollars goes 
to Planned Parenthood or any organization that performs or profits off 
of abortion. No organization which enriches itself commodifying unborn 
human life is worthy of hard-earned taxpayer dollars.
  Mr. Speaker, let us come together as Representatives of the American 
people and declare with one voice that we will not tolerate or condone 
something so despicable.
