           CONSTITUENTS SICKENED BY PLANNED PARENTHOOD VIDEOS

  (Mr. PERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, debate over funding for Planned Parenthood 
has nothing to do with women's health care. I think we have just heard 
that on a couple counts.
  Constituents on both sides are sickened and disgusted by the Planned 
Parenthood videos, videos that show officials discussing the killing of 
babies and harvesting of their organs like they were car parts out of a 
salvage yard.
  American taxpayers are the single largest funder of Planned 
Parenthood, over $500 million last year alone. No American should ever 
be forced, under penalty of imprisonment, mind you--if you don't pay 
your taxes, you are going to go to jail--to support this activity with 
their tax dollars, period.
  I am a husband, a father to two little girls, a son, and a friend who 
cares deeply about women's health care, everybody's health care. That 
said, I cannot and I will not support the dismemberment and sale of the 
body parts of infants.
  I cannot in good conscience, I can't in any conscience, support 
legislation that funds disgusting actions of those who conduct that 
practice.
