“I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to speak on an issue that has weighed very heavy on my heart; in fact, it has kept me awake at night for many nights. Two videos have recently come out showing senior Planned Parenthood executives and doctors callously discussing abortion procedures and the costs of that fetal tissue from aborted babies. It has turned my stomach to hear these people at Planned Parenthood. They claim to act in the best interest of women, but instead they talk about compensation for tiny organs from aborted babies. I find myself asking: How did we get here? How did this great country that was founded on Biblical principles get to a place where we have federally funded organizations like Planned Parenthood who claim to care for women and provide health care for them instead deceive people and use those dollars to end lives--end lives of our future women that could potentially lead this country--and then turn around and sell their body parts to put even more dollars in their pocket? It reminds me of the Edmund Burke quote that says: ``The only thing that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.'' And today, we have seen many good men and women come to this House floor and say that we will not ``do nothing.'' We have pushed on this issue before, but we are going to push even harder. We are going to talk even more.…”
