PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S SALE OF FETAL TISSUE
(Mrs. LOVE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. LOVE. Mr. Speaker, I stand before this body because I am
outraged at the recent revelation by a Planned Parenthood director who
speaks on video about harvesting an unborn baby's body parts to sell.
She details the horrific and barbaric practice of aborting babies in
such a cold, casual way as to preserve certain body parts for sale.
Mr. Speaker, this is an organization that receives Federal funds to
do their work. Is this what the taxpayers are paying for? Is this what
they asked for? No.
Given Planned Parenthood's official comments on video and the list of
serious questions that are raised, I am calling for a full
congressional investigation.
I demand information about Planned Parenthood's donation of fetal
tissue for research or for any other purpose and for Federal funds to
be completely withdrawn.
This is not over. We will press on. I will continue to remind this
body that we work for the American people--not the other way around--
that we swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United
States, and we will preserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
This is un-American and absolutely unacceptable.
