PLANNED PARENTHOOD PRACTICES
(Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, like my colleagues, I was deeply disturbed
by the video that surfaced last week and the allegations regarding
Planned Parenthood's selling the body parts of unborn children. Just
today, another video was released showing a senior Planned Parenthood
official make flippant comments about receiving money for the organs of
aborted babies.
The practices brought to light in these videos and reports are
shocking and sickening. When such reports come forward, it is our moral
responsibility to act. We must take action on behalf of the most
vulnerable and precious lives among us.
Madam Speaker, I commend the House Energy and Commerce and House
Judiciary Committees that have begun efforts to investigate these
heinous practices, and I am committed to working with my colleagues to
ensure we get to the bottom of these allegations.
Planned Parenthood and all those involved must be held accountable. I
stand with all who are dedicated to fight to protect innocent life.
