I stand before this body because I am outraged at the recent revelation by a Planned Parenthood director who speaks on video about harvesting an unborn baby's body parts to sell. She details the horrific and barbaric practice of aborting babies in such a cold, casual way as to preserve certain body parts for sale. Mr. Speaker, this is an organization that receives Federal funds to do their work. Is this what the taxpayers are paying for? Is this what they asked for? No. Given Planned Parenthood's official comments on video and the list of serious questions that are raised, I am calling for a full congressional investigation. I demand information about Planned Parenthood's donation of fetal tissue for research or for any other purpose and for Federal funds to be completely withdrawn. This is not over. We will press on. I will continue to remind this body that we work for the American people--not the other way around-- that we swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, and we will preserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This is un-American and absolutely unacceptable. ____________________

When it comes to the deal with Iran, I want to express how incredibly serious this is. That is because the stakes have never been higher. Are we willing to continue to gamble with America's future and American lives? Iran is a snake in the…
