                      PROTECT THE SANCTITY OF LIFE

  (Mr. CARTER of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the two 
pieces of legislation aimed at fighting evil and protecting the 
sanctity of life.
  I have seen the horrendous videos showing the grotesque practice of 
harvesting and selling preborn baby body parts that Planned Parenthood 
executives now condone and encourage. This evil practice must stop.
  Taxpayers should not be responsible for funding an organization that 
aborts babies, negotiates deals to sell body parts, and lets babies 
that have survived abortion be left to die on the operating table.
  As a former judge, I have dealt with countless murder cases, and this 
is murder in my book. Planned Parenthood received 40 percent of their 
total revenue from taxpayers.
  How much longer are we going to permit Planned Parenthood to murder 
on the taxpayer dime?
  Rest assured, the House is conducting an investigation on Planned 
Parenthood. We will do everything in our power to hold these criminals 
accountable for their actions.
  I implore my colleagues to support these two bills and protect the 
sanctity of life before and after birth.
