“last night ABC's 20/20 brought something very important to the public's attention, the trafficking of babies' body parts and organs. Even today the House Subcommittee on Health and Environment is holding a hearing on this issue. As a physician and a Congressman, I find this practice disturbing, disgusting, and, of course, highly immoral; but the truth of the matter is that this is currently going on in our country. Evidence has shown us that private companies and even public universities buy and sell baby organs for the sole purpose of experimentation. It has been brought to my attention that they pay as much as $150 for skin, $990 for a brain, and $325 for a spinal cord. To make it worse, companies are making special syringes for abortion doctors so that they can prolong the abortion procedure itself and keep the baby alive long enough to get more money for these parts. This practice is illegal. It is against the law. It is outrageous, and it boils down to human exploitation and death. I encourage my colleagues to oppose it.”
