Thank you very much for yielding. Mr. Speaker, in its slick TV ads and PR blitz, the multi-billion- dollar-a-year abortion giant Planned Parenthood appears to be hiding something. Could it be that they're hiding the dismaying fact that…
The gentleman from Texas makes an excellent point. When you provide foreign aid, when you provide economic lifelines to dictatorships, it enables them to continue their repression. Years ago, we took a very principled stance against South…
Well, I think you just made an articulate defense of why a consistent, transparent human rights, pro-freedom, pro-democracy foreign policy is absolutely essential if we want a world that is free of tyranny. Pope John Paul II once said: If…

Thank you, Mr. Lankford, for your very powerful statement. I would like to now yield to my good friend and colleague from Georgia, a medical doctor as well, Dr. Paul Broun.
