Political Quotes

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the resolution to create a select committee to investigate Planned Parenthood. Well, here we go again. Planned Parenthood is the new Benghazi. Under the ruse of saving lives, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would use the resources of the United States Government to pursue their extreme agenda. The targeting of Planned Parenthood is a gross abuse of political power to punish a trusted organization because it provides a full array of health services that includes abortion, and it sends a chilling message to anybody who would dare to give women choices. Mr. Speaker, to quote a well-known political thinker, ``There is no greater tyranny, than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.''
