BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

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.
