Chris Smith: “I think we need to be even-handed in our treatment.”

Abortion is not healthcare unless one construes the life of an unborn child to be analogous to a tumor to be excised or a disease to be vanquished. I appeal to my colleagues: Don't ignore or trivialize the battered victim in the womb…

We must act now, and we must act decisively. The lives of so many lie in the balance.

We write to request that the Office of Inspector General (OIG) review and, if appropriate, initiate an investigation into the activities of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. and the organization's affiliates.

Planned Parenthood should not receive taxpayer dollars. Since 1970, it has killed over ten million unborn babies in its clinics—and today exterminates over 1,000 unborn babies every single day," said Smith.
