                    STOP FUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, earlier today, a third Planned Parenthood 
video surfaced, with a small warning of graphic content, the content 
being video of a freshly aborted fetus being dissected on a dish while, 
once again, senior staff uses casual rhetoric to describe how they 
obtain and sell baby parts, stating:

       I think a per-item thing works a little better, just 
     because we can see how much we can get out of it.

  Americans are horrified by this and other videos, which already 
prompted House and Senate committees, as well as eight States, to 
launch investigations into Planned Parenthood.
  Faithful protestors nationwide are speaking out against this 
absolutely disgusting practice, including a rally occurring today in 
Sacramento; yet in that State, we have an attorney general actually, 
instead, leading a review of the group who filmed the videos.
  Using unborn babies as human capital? That is totally fine. 
Journalists exercising their First Amendment rights to expose illegal 
and gruesome activities? The government must intervene.
  Under Federal law and California State law, the sale or purchase of 
human fetal tissue is a Federal felony that carries a fine of up to 
$500,000, a number still less than the annual salary of Planned 
Parenthood's president.
  Mr. Speaker, these are unborn babies we are talking about. At the 
very least, we need to put a stop to this organization until we can 
investigate fully.
