DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD
(Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, Planned Parenthood must be defunded.
Taxpayers should no longer fund inhumane actions.
Between sips of red wine, a top official with the organization shares
the dark nature of their work of altering abortion procedures to better
harvest body parts. In another, after talking about the price for body
parts, an official muses of buying a Lamborghini. In yet another, human
dissection, geared toward harvesting body parts, is exposed.
Such callousness.
Planned Parenthood resists the use of ultrasound during pregnancy
when a mother considers abortion, yet uses ultrasound to guide the
harvesting of body parts.
Such disregard for life.
I am not only disgusted but am very saddened, and so are millions of
Americans. Is nothing off limits? Is nothing sacred? This is why I have
long cosponsored legislation to defund Planned Parenthood, but we must
do more. This body is obligated to investigate wrongdoings.
