U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives today during debate on HR 3762. The following are excerpts of his remarks:
"Subsidized by over $500 million taxpayers’ dollars each year, Planned Parenthood dismembers or chemically poisons a baby to death every two minutes—killing over seven million innocent children since 1973.
"Planned Parenthood is 'Child Abuse Inc.'
"Now, undercover videos have exposed in numbing candor, several high level Planned Parenthood leaders gleefully talking about procuring children’s organs for a price all while altering gruesome dismemberment procedures to preserve “intact” livers, hearts and lungs from freshly killed babies.
"Far too many politicians including our Nobel Peace Prize winning President and much of the media continue to ignore, trivialize—even defend—these gross human rights abuses.
"However, this Planned Parenthood scandal will not go away no matter how aggressive and misleading the cover-up.
"End taxpayer funding to those who commit these cruel and inhumane acts."
