These Planned Parenthood videos are horrifying. I would encourage every American to watch these videos. See senior Planned Parenthood officials callously, heartlessly bartering and selling the body parts of human beings, and then ask yourself, &#8220;Are these my values?&#8221; These are horrifying.<\/p>\n<p>On these videos, Planned Parenthood also essentially confesses to multiple felonies. It is a felony, with ten years jail time, to sell the body parts of unborn children for profit. That&#8217;s what these videos show Planned Parenthood doing.<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely, we shouldn&#8217;t be sending five hundred million dollars of taxpayer money to funding an ongoing criminal enterprise, and I&#8217;ll tell you, the fact that Republican leadership in both houses has begun this discussion by preemptively surrendering to Barack Obama and saying, &#8220;We&#8217;ll give in because Obama threatens a veto&#8221;; you know, Obama&#8217;s committed to his principles, his liberal principles. He will fight for them.
