ms. chu. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for 1.5 minutes. ms. chu: another day, another attack by republicans on women's health care in the house of representatives. but this one is different. it goes beyond the typical attacks on women and endangers their health and the health of entire communities by holding medicaid hostage, this bill seeks to intimidate doctors and hospitals into not providing a safe and constitutionally protected service. i'm appalled by how far republicans are willing to go. the language in the bill is so vague that it would allow states to exclude entire providers from the medicaid program. minority and low-income women would be disproportionately impacted and would stand to lose access to critical health services like birth control and family planning. it's time to stop the attacks. women must be free to make their own health care choices in consultation with their doctors and without threats from republican politicians in washington. and we mus

ms. chu: you talked about that research panel, that 21 people were appointed to this commission and supported the idea of fetal research. can you speak of at some of the safeguards lawmakers will put in place to ensure safeguards are working? ms. smith: as far as i can tell, the safeguards appear to be working. fetal tissue is not allowed to be sold. the incentives for the main actors in these situations are not -- it is not pushing abortion in any way. it is not manipulating people or coercing their choice. those are the factors i would hope would be in place. to the extent the committee appears to have concerns about that, if the public appears to have concerns about whether this is being implemented properly, i think the appropriate response is another commission to investigate the issue. ms. chu: thank you. mr. chair, i would like to enter into the record two letters. first is a letter from 11 latino organizations in support of planned parenthood. the second is a letter from planned paren

i would now recognize ms. chu for five minutes. >> mr. chair, i'm outraged by the sensational nature of this hearing that makes no pretense of being fair or impartial. and i'm outraged by the accusations made against an organization that serves millions of women in our country. in fact, one in five american women visited a planned parenthood care center for care at some point in their lives. for some it's the only place they can turn to for even the most basic of care. when our economy fell into tough times a few years ago, women, especially low income women, turned to planned parenthood for affordable and primary care service. they fill a vital gap that community health centers can't fill by themselves. the local affiliate in my district, planned parenthood pasadena in san gabriel valley one of the targets of these videos. the center for medical progress tried to discredit them with their heavily edited videos. these five short videos, the ones that have been released by cnp have 47 splices where content is edited out, but the conversati

ms. chu: in fact, immigrants or their children have founded more than 40% of fortune 500 companies. however, there is a dangerous anti-immigrant sentiment perpetuated by those who fail to recognize the strength derived from our diversity. even today, laws are being proposed to deny the constitutional right of citizenship to those born in america. proposals like these are both appalling and un-american. in congress, we must continue to fight against these anti-immigrant proposals and to push for comprehensive immigration reform. and we must work to ensure that every person who is eligible for naturalization understands the process that it takes to become a u.s. citizen and has a voice in our great democracy. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from minnesota seek recognition? >> seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman from minnesota is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, i rise today to celebrate jeff of andover for being named the 2015 cadet of the year. mr. emmer: jeff grad
