                      PLANNED PARENTHOOD PRACTICES

  (Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, like my colleagues, I was deeply disturbed 
by the video that surfaced last week and the allegations regarding 
Planned Parenthood's selling the body parts of unborn children. Just 
today, another video was released showing a senior Planned Parenthood 
official make flippant comments about receiving money for the organs of 
aborted babies.
  The practices brought to light in these videos and reports are 
shocking and sickening. When such reports come forward, it is our moral 
responsibility to act. We must take action on behalf of the most 
vulnerable and precious lives among us.
  Madam Speaker, I commend the House Energy and Commerce and House 
Judiciary Committees that have begun efforts to investigate these 
heinous practices, and I am committed to working with my colleagues to 
ensure we get to the bottom of these allegations.
  Planned Parenthood and all those involved must be held accountable. I 
stand with all who are dedicated to fight to protect innocent life.
