“The gentleman's remarks were well said. Aren't we all grateful that our parents were pro-life? It gives us a chance to be on this floor and express our views. I yield to the gentlewoman from Washington (Mrs. McMorris Rodgers), the chair of our Conference but, more importantly, a mother. Mrs. McMORRIS RODGERS. Mr. Speaker, I want to join in expressing appreciation to Congressman Duffy, the gentleman from Wisconsin, for bringing us all together tonight on this very important issue and what has recently been uncovered through the videos featuring senior level Planned Parenthood officials admitting to unethical, potentially illegal procedures. It is really unthinkable to most of us. It is unthinkable not just because of their cold, nonchalant attitude toward ``crunchy procedures,'' but because these videos highlight that we have allowed the debate on women's health to get horribly skewed. Anyone watching these videos can say the American people must have answers. This isn't women's health. This is an agenda. It is an agenda that is driven by monetary gain, not the best interests of women. Abortion providers should not get to hide behind the foil of health care to get away with unspeakable acts. The practices described in these videos are despicable, and Planned Parenthood must be held accountable. If a hospital were even allegedly involved in any kind of illegal activity, we wouldn't hesitate for a second to haul them before a committee.…”
