Mr. President, the question before us today is clear: Who do we want to be as a nation? It is hard for anyone to defend these morally reprehensible videos as Planned Parenthood callously harvested the organs of unborn babies to be sold at a price. The American people, Republicans and Democrats alike, are horrified by the blatant disregard and utter lack of compassion shown by Planned Parenthood for these women and their babies. It is wrong. The American people know it, and they should not be asked to foot part of the bill. We can no longer turn a blind eye. This is human life, and Planned Parenthood, the Nation's single largest provider of abortion services, is harvesting baby body parts. Before you now is a critical opportunity to vote for legislation that will protect the most vulnerable in our society and fund women's health. With that, I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut.
