                       DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, a third Planned 
Parenthood video was released regarding the selling of aborted baby 
body parts and organs.
  The fact that this is going on is just vile. Our Constitution 
protects the right to life, and it is unforgiveable for any 
organization to engage in this kind of trafficking.
  To make matters worse, Planned Parenthood receives taxpayer dollars 
that ultimately help support these vile acts.
  I fully support the House investigation into Planned Parenthood, and 
I am proud to support legislation that would stop all Federal funding 
for Planned Parenthood until these investigations are over.
  That said, I believe Washington should follow Texas' lead and 
permanently defund Planned Parenthood.
  All life is sacred, and I will continue to do all I can to protect 
the lives of the unborn.
