Correcting the Enrollment of H.R. 1473

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ADERHOLT. I rise today in strong support of the resolution.

While I respect my colleagues who are against this resolution, let me say that I believe that Federal funds should be cut off from Planned Parenthood.

As previously stated on the floor by my colleagues, the resolution does not reduce funding for women's health services. It simply ensures that funds are directed to other organizations. Not a dime of women's health or family planning funding is reduced by this resolution. We simply want to ensure that Federal funds are being used in a way that protects the will of our constituents, not to help subsidize Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the Nation, providing over 300,000 abortions in 2009.

Over the years, Planned Parenthood has increased their abortion numbers every year, while adoption and prenatal care remains way too low.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this resolution.
