                           PLANNED PARENTHOOD

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, in America, the practice of abortion is now 
referred to as women's health care. Yes, in the 21st century, even with 
all the science, we refuse to ask the question: What about the baby?
  The cavalier spirit and the coldhearted callousness in taking a live 
baby and then cutting into her face to retrieve fresh body parts--can 
you imagine the national outrage if we were carving up puppies in the 
same manner?
  We don't condemn these young mothers who have been convinced that no 
other options exist; yet we will be negligent if we stand silent over 
the atrocities of an abortion mill that goes by the name Planned 
Parenthood. Whether you are pro-life or not, surely, most Americans are 
appalled by the idea that our tax dollars are funneled to this 
organization.
  I cannot look the other way. It is my belief, and I am thoroughly 
convinced that this is no longer a political issue. This is about a 
human rights violation that parallels other barbaric times throughout 
history. Ultimately, we will stand before almighty God.
  The Psalmist David wrote:

       For You, God, formed my inward parts. You wove me together 
     in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and 
     wonderfully made.
