PLANNED PARENTHOOD
(Mr. MULVANEY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. MULVANEY. Mr. Speaker, as the House prepares next week to take up
a discussion about Planned Parenthood, I want to speak very briefly to
what the debate is not about. It is not about women's health.
The proposal that many of us are making to this House is that we
simply take this money away from Planned Parenthood and move it to
federally qualified healthcare clinics, clinics that provide better
services and more services to women. There are 13,000 of these clinics
versus 900 Planned Parenthood units, services that go to women that
Planned Parenthood does not provide.
Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms; the clinics do. This
debate is not about women's health care, and anyone who wants you to
believe that it is, is simply afraid to tell you what it is really
about, which is whether or not we should give taxpayer money to an
entity that sells pieces of dead children.
