parenthood in this debate. thank you for joining us. >>> defending or defunding planned parenthood. that's the inside story. >> welcome back to "inside story." i'm ray suarez. defending or defunding planned parenthood on the program. adam kipper is a fellow and editor of the new atlantis. welcome to the program. when we do anything involving the human person, involving medical research you have to work it through morally. what's okay, what's not. how do you add up the moral calculous? >> that's a deep and difficult question and the easiest way on to it is to address something that was raised in an earlier segment. she emphasized the relationship between women and their doctors. well in ethics, in medical eth ethics you can sometimes say you can draw a line when an action that is morally controversial, and a su substantive action debt on it. in this case we can say maybe the fetus was going to be aborted any way. maybe it was going to be discarded. what is wrong with using that aborted fetus, using that organ and tissue to help people find cures for a morally laudable goal? the reason

madam speaker, i urge my colleagues to join me in supporting h.r. 3134, the defund planned parenthood act of 2015. recent videos released by brave whistleblowers have definitively shown that it's well past time to defund planned parenthood. for far too long and to the tune of one half a billion dollars a year, taxpayers have been forced to subsidize planned parenthood's abortion on demand. and thanks to these unsettling revelations, we now know that taxpayers have also been subsidizing the trafficking of aborted baby body parts. this is not health care, madam speaker. there are over 13,000 publicly supported health centers in our country that do provide excellent women's health care. in my home state of colorado, there are 240 such health care alternatives versus 21 planned parenthood locations. this important legislation will not remove funds from women's health care, but shift it to responsible providers. taxpayers won't have to fund planned parenthood's deplorable barbarism. i urge my colleagues to support this bill and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore:

parenthood? >> what i was saying is that if you defund planned parenthood, you defund their contraceptive services and the care they provide to women. >> so as mr. gowdy said, if we gave that money to other community health organizations, would that be okay? >> if there were community health organizations that provides as high quality care. >> do you think the only community health care in america that can provide this high quality care is planned parenthood. >> currently. >> you're saying the highestment but there r there others? there. >> are definitely community health centers there is a reason people don't go to them and go to planned parenthood. >> you have elaborated about the potential legal violations that planned parenthood may face. even if it's found that planned parenthood did not violate any loss, what justification remains for using taxpayer dollars to fund practices? >> i'm question, the question? >> you have elaborated that planned parenthood potentially violated the law. even if they didn't violate the law, is there any justification to continue to fund their practices? >> is ther

parenthood? >> what i was saying was that if you defund planned parenthood, you defund their contraceptive services and the care they provide to women -- >> so, as mr. gowdy said, if we gave that money to other community health organizations, would that be okay? >> if there were community health organizations that provided as high quality care as -- >> do you think the only community health care organization in this country is planned parenthood? >> currently it's definitely the highest -- >> you're saying the highest. the only. there are other -- >> there are other community health centers. there are reasons people don't go to them. you go to planned parenthood. >> you haven't elaborated about the legal troubles planned parenthood may face. even if it's found planned parenthood does not violate any law, what justification do you have for -- >> i'm sorry, quet again, sir? >> have you elaborated on whether that -- planned parenthood potentially violated the law. even if they didn't violate the law s there any justification to continue to fund their practices? >> is there any justification to continu

had half the fight of the senate democrats to get rid of obamacare, to defund planned parenthood. can't defund planned parenthood now if we can't stand up for innocent life after these barbaric. give nancy pelosi and harry reid credit they fight for what they believe in. i want leaders to fight what we believe in as well. it's time to have republican with a backbone in d.c. >> i'm tired of people want to hear i you know we can't do. i'm as offended by the videos that you are. the one thing i'm not going to go down to 2016 is shut the government down ant taint our ability to win. what you are saying and what senator cruz is saying i'm really sick of hearing. >> well, this is all coming to a head now as the deadline is october 1st. conservatives saying they want to defund planned parenthood and they are using the spending operation in congress to really back up against that. we're back with our throw back thursday panel. mort, what about this? >> look, if planned parenthood is truly profiteering on body parts, which is illegal. then they ought to be prosecuted and you don't need to d

the republicans pushing to defund planned parenthood and cut off federal funding because of the videos that surfaced, and it appeared to show that planned parenthood was illegally harve harvesting tissue from fetal bogues. but the hear was not just about those videos. it was about organization rights and women's rights as well, and there was an emotional statement on both sides of the aisle. i know that many on the committee will hold to the standard line but i beg you to open your own hearts and ask yourself what is so liberating about brutally and dismemor dismemberering little babies. >> this hear ising is not about the videos. the videos have been doctored, and they're not what they're supposed to be. it's show business. the hear something about a woman's right to choose. >> planned parenthood gets federal funds but by law those funds cannot be used for abortion services. they're used for contraceptive care, well visits, things like that. but a very heated debate on capitol hill. >> lisa, we know planned parenthood is not at this hearing today. what has been their response? >> righ

had half the fight of the senate democrats to get rid of obamacare, to defund planned parenthood. renthood now if we can't stand up for innocent life after these barbaric. give nancy pelosi and harry reid credit they fight for what they believe in. i want leaders to fight what we believe in as well. it's time to have republican with a backbone in d.c. >> i'm tired of people want to hear i you know we can't do. i'm as offended by the videos that you are. the one thing i'm not going to go down to 2016 is shut the government down ant taint our ability to win. what you are saying and what senator cruz is saying i'm really sick of hearing. >> well, this is all coming to a head now as the deadline is october 1st. conservatives saying they want to defund planned parenthood and they are using the spending operation in congress to really back up against that. we're back with our throw back thursday panel. mort, what about this? >> look, if planned parenthood is truly profiteering on body parts, which is illegal. then they ought to be prosecuted and you don't need to defund them. they will b

when you defund planned parenthood you are dusty funding the 97% of what they do that is not abortion. you defund pregnancy tests, birth control, screenings for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and others. you deny prenatal care. what happens when you defund planned parenthood, the provider that serves over 2 million americans, you deny access to health care that has nothing to do with abortion. let me correct the record. planned parenthood does spend money on birth control that will prevent abortions. in 2013, they help prevent one million unintended pregnancies. that would have led to 300,000 more abortions that here. i honestly don't know why we are here today. here is what i do know. not a single one of the men sitting on this dais today ever had to cap a sentence about their financial aspirations with the phrase, unless i get pregnant.federal law already prohibits planned parenthood from using tax dollars on abortion related care. i think women should have access to abortions, regardless of their means. it is an attack on the entire concept of reproductive justice. that is the ide

the funding planned parenthood -- defunding planned parenthood will not affect women's health. in the state of idaho there are 76 federally qualified health centers and only three planned parenthood facilities. women can and will receive health care in these facilities. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition? >> request to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. chairman, debate over funding for planned parenthood has nothing to do with women's health care. i think we just heard that on a couple of accounts. constituents on both sides are sickened and disgusted by the planned parenthood videos, videos that show officials discussing the killing of babies and harvesting of their organs, like they were car parts out of a salvage yard. mr. perry: over $500 million last year alone to planned parenthood. no american should ever be forced under imprisonment. to

i defunded planned parenthood when i was governor. i think it's abhorrent that abortions take place thus thinks clinics. but it will have no effect on funding for planned parenthood. that's the problem. washington is so dysfunctional that that's a victory. shut down the government, and then cost the taxpayers more. better to elect a conservative president that will pledge do to do it and work with congress. >>> in your 2013 book on immigration, you say enforce the border first policy is in your words self-defeating, you need a path to legalization if you're going to get anything through congress. is that still your position? >> i think you can do both, but the first step is to prove that the border is secure. you can have a conversation about comprehensive reform while you're doing your job. this president committed to comprehensive reform and has done nothing and hasn't inform enforced the border to anybody's satisfaction. >>> how about a headline for the energy policy? >> i think we all to be all in on energy. we need to create a no

have the planned parenthood defunding pulled out of that bill. he knew he couldn't get it on the bill so he didn't put it on the house floor and that was perceived as weak. >> he should have done it anyway even though he knew he didn't have the vote, right? he'll take the three-point shot no matter what. >> are you suggesting that -- it's a three-point shot when you need four points. >> that's the most he can get, though, is one shot. >> ears here's an alternative, dana, correct me if i'm wrong. he could pull the defunding of planned parenthood out and let president obama veto that bill and then it's on him. >> that's one strategy but the problem is bigger than boehner. are you going to blame boehner for everything? let's see what mccarthy does. >> they compared him to the french revolution and said, whose head is next, right? the thing that wasn't in that article is president obama. the reason you have extremists on the right is they look at what president obama is doing. he is scorched earth. he does not believe in compromise at all. the other

hillary clinton took on the republican efforts to defund planned parenthood at a campaign stop today pshire. >> all of the candidates on that stage are in favor of defunding planned parenthood. and i vigorously disagree with that position. i think it is unfair and wrong to single out planned parenthood, to try to deprive the millions of women who get healthcare from planned parenthood access to those services. >> i'm joined by president of the national organization for women and a senior fellow at media matters for america. what do you make the carly fiorina's statement on planned parenthood? >> that's exactly why carly fiorina does not get the women's vote. women across the country and across the political and ideological spectrum love planned parenthood because it provides family planning services to millions of women, including enormous numbers of, yes, middle class, younger women, in high school and in college who are not in a place where they can have that conversation with their mom and dad. and they go to planned parenthood because their mothers know that they'll be cared for s

this time a similar group wants to defund planned parenthood. now, leadership on both the democrat and the republican side don't want that to happen, and so the negotiations that we're currently jou lly undergoing ar to figure out how the leadership can work with this rump group of hard right conservatives that want to defund planned parenthood, keep them satisfied, ant not close the government. that's the play. >> ramesh, it's a highly charged emotional issue. you're looking at planned parenthood and people have staunch views on eitherdebate.

they insist they are willing to back stop gap measures as long as planned parenthood defunding is offble. >> i hope we are all in agreement. democrats and republicans, that we should not have a government shutdown. it is costly to the government and to the american people as it was during the government shutdown before. so we are optimistic. we want to be cooperative. we want to negotiate in good faith. >> with 13 days left before a possible government shutdown, pelosi admits she and house speaker boehner haven't scheduled talks. >>> a federal appeals court in st. louis ruling obamacare unjustly. the religious based employers being forced to provide coverage for contraceptives. the higher court sided with colleges in iowa, michigan and missouri. it conflicting with federal appeals court ruling. under the appeal, they no longer have to provide insurance for employees birth control. >>> the white house is thinking about scrapping its program to build a large scale syrian fighting force. the $500 million plan was part of the strategy to defeat isis, but officials acknowledge the program

parenthood? saying is that if you defund planned parenthood, you defund the contraceptive services and the care they provide to women. >> if we gave that money to other community health organizations, without the ok? >> if there were community health organizations that provided as high-quality care . planned parenthood is definitely -- there are community health centers. there are a reason why they go to planned parenthood. ve elaborated on violationsal legal -- what justification remains for using taxpayer dollars. >> the question again, sir? you have elaborated on whether planned parenthood potentially violated the law, is it justification to continue to defund -- to fund their practices? theo, the reason is if current laws are not violated, they clearly are committing violating moral and ethical principles, and violating the safeguards -- as wrong as the panel was about recommending this research, at least they talked about proposed safeguards like no financial incentives. when the loss got past, it was passed by people who wanted to facilitate, and the law was fetal tissue procurement from abort

parenthood, the quality of services will drop and as a result women's health will be detrimentally harmed. that was proofed in a study by a texas agency after 2011. this is yet one more attempt to defund planned parenthood which if successful will hurt millions of women and communities across the country. h.r. 3495 is contradictory to the views of the majority of americans. three out of four american women support publicly funded family planning centers and believe they have a positive impact on public health. by passing this bill we are harming millions of women who rely on publicly funded planning care. i urge my colleagues to vote against this bill. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentlewoman from colorado reserves. and the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. pitts: madam speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from colorado. ms. degette: madam speaker, i'm now pleased to yield 1.5 minutes to the gentleman from new york -- sorry, two minutes to the distinguished gentleman from new york, mr. nadler. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two min

we talk about defunding planned parenthood, and on real issues, how does this effect things? >> reporter: well, when you talk about -- i think it's interesting first of all the president said that john boehner always kept his commitment. that was not the line coming out of the speakers of white house office. remember the days of grand bargaining, the golfing between the two, the efforts to cozy up and get their lbj on, the con joeling behind closed doors, and that broke down and a lot of acrimony quite frankly. john boehner put forward that lawsuit to take some air out of the conservative, the tea party, these revolutionaries, take some air out of their balloon of trying to do something. we have lost count of how many times they have tried to repeal obamacare. but john boehner unable to do that, conservatives incensed that the republicans controlled both houses of congress and reneged on the promise to do that. give us both houses and we'll be able to do something, conservatives were told, hasn't worked out that way, so john boehner put forward that lawsuit and tried to mullf

i don't know many people in america that don't think we should. >> i defunded planned parenthood 4 1/2 year ago. >> the systemic murder of children in the womb to preserve body parts for profit. >> i defunded planned parenthood. >> are these my values? these are horrifying. on these videos planned parenthood confesses to multiple felonies. >> i'd ask, do you think the unborn child united states a human being or is it just a blob of tissue? >> fiorina railed against the group with an especially vivid tirade. >> i dare hillary clinton, barack obama, to watch these tapes. watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beat, its legs, kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain. this is about the character of our nation and if we will not stand up and force president obama to veto this bill, shame on us! >> that's powerful stuff. details of the video she points out are striking but may not exist. sarah cliff watched all 12 hours, she says, quote, fiorina is wrong and those images fiorina described simply don't appear in the footage. either fiorina hasn't

parenthood. so-called 3134 the defund planned parenthood act of 2013 is a bad and backward thinking bill and thethe house has already taken four antiwomen's health votes and today sets the stage for us to take two additional votes to restrict women's access to health care. incredibly this is already twice the number of antiwomen's health votes that at this same point in the 113th and 112th congress. this congress is not even half over. in this republican congress facts don't matter. we don't talk about facts. they're inconvenient. they're a nuisance. especially when they get in the way of their extremist political agenda. the fact is, that planned parenthood plays a critical role in protecting and providing access to critical health services for both women and men. one in five women has relied on a planned parenthood health center for care in her lifetime and planned parenthood serves 2.7 million patients each year. and one of the most important statistics that my republican friends like to ignore is that more than 90% of what planned parenthood does nationally is preventative care. including ce

madam speaker, i urge my colleagues to join me in supporting h.r. 3134, the defund planned parenthood act of 2015. recent videos released by brave whistleblowers have definitively shown that it's well past time to defund planned parenthood. for far too long and to the tune of one half a billion dollars a year, taxpayers have been forced to subsidize planned parenthood's abortion on demand. and thanks to these unsettling revelations, we now know that taxpayers have also been subsidizing the trafficking of aborted baby body parts. this is not health care, madam speaker. there are over 13,000 publicly supported health centers in our country that do provide excellent women's health care. in my home state of colorado, there are 240 such health care alternatives versus 21 planned parenthood locations. this important legislation will not remove funds from women's health care, but shift it to responsible providers. taxpayers won't have to fund planned parenthood's deplorable barbarism. i urge my colleagues to support this bill and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore:

parenthood. i want to defund planned parenthood, she said. there are wonderful pro-life men and women in congress who want to defund planned parenthood and certainly national right to life wants to defund planned parenthood. the difns here i difference hern strategy. this is not the end of this gailt odebate or this discussio. i urge colleagues to join me in supporting the legislation i am about to file on, which would ensure that the government remains open. now, mr. president, i -- i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: i ask that further proceedings under the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcconnell: noi as i now askt the chair lay before the senate a message received from the house earlier today. the presiding officer: the chair lays before the senate a message from the house of representatives. the clerk: resolve that the house agree to the amen

nation show trial to highlight what my friends on the other side were to make the case to defund planned parenthood. the reason that they give it is an abortion provider and it has horrific things that it does to effectuate a portion so therefore we should defund planned parenthood. that is what this hearing is all about. i called it a show trial because the accuser is not present. and the center of medical progress. neither is the accused. so what we have data crucial moment coming up on september 30 of which is the end of the fiscal year year, we're not talking about funding government operations past september september 30th, abortion and the funding planned parenthood instead. we only have seven legislative days left in this month to put together a budget so the country can continue to operate past september 30th and indeed we are headed toward a government shutdown with the issue that is addressed here today and it is a show trial people scoring political points but i will note on this committee only one female on the other side of the aisle that is bathetic. the voices that are heard our male

that continuing resolution in the house and also a planned -- a separate measure of a planned parenthood defunding bill. you may recall the senate tried to move forward with defunding planned parenthood, was blocked last week in the senate. theirs is a so-called clean c.r. we'll get to your phone calls momentarily. to set the scene this morning in the u.s. senate, we want to hear from the leaders, mitch mcconnell and harry reid. then to your calls. it's right for them to go into another short-term spending situation like this. we're looking to change the culture around here. our determination remains to get the senate back to normal with a functional appropriations process. that's why for the first time in six years the senate actually passed a budget. that's why for the first time in six years the senate actually passed through committee the dozen appropriation bills necessary to properly fund the government. now that the c.r. appears to be on track, we can turn back to the last step in the senate's normal appropriations process and that is getting the funding bills passed here on the floor. demo

and some on the panel want to see planned parenthood defunded. lisa stark has more.hat have lawmakers been saying about this? >> reporter: they say this is going to be the first in a series of hearings. some republicans want to cut off funding for the group. this came about from those undercover videos released earlier this year. today as you can imagine, it didn't just focus on the videos, it got into the whole subject of abortion and abortion rights, and there was emotional testimony from both sides of the aisle. >> i know many of you on this committee will hold to the standard line, and try to cloak all of this in the name of freedom of choice, but i beg you to open your own hearts and ask yourselves, what is so liberating about brutally and painfully dismembering helpless human babies? >> this hearing is not about the videos. in fact the videos have been doctored, and the videos aren't what they are supposed to be, and it's show business. this hearing is about a woman's right to choose. >> reporter: now two witnesses were women who actually survived abortion proc

the four big issues for me, defunding planned parenthood, defunding executive amnesty and immigrationd this iranian deal is an unmitigated disaster that will lead to a modern-day holocaust. on those four issues, if kevin mccarthy is the speaker . >> that you will encourage every member to defund. >> it is dealing with iran, it's just this week. we have a bill. do you know there are 80 judgments against iran for almost $44 billion of the -- we're passing a bill that says none of that money can go there with out paying those judgments. those are court cases in america that stood up. people who have been murdered from the terrorist acts of iran, they need to pay us. >> let me ask you this. >> yes. >> john boehner referred to louie gomer as, i can't say, a blankhead. are you going to include them in power sharing? are you going to bring in solid conservatives around you from the freedom caucus to be part of the leadership? >> i'm going to bring in everybody. my understanding is that you had them on the air last night. they told me when you asked them to say one word about me, they said he

parenthood. my focus is to try to deal with the life issue. defunding planned parenthood is just a sideshow for the real event. has this come to your attention, ms. richards, that many are talking about something that really has nothing to do with your federal funding? >> well, i do think it's been a bit of a theme. i think that is one thing i'd like to say. it's important that i don't really believe that an organization, a health care provider should be discriminated against for providing a legal service. whether it's planned parenthood or a local community hospital or anyone else. >> let me follow up as well and hold this up and ask to place it into the record. let me cite for some of my colleagues. ohio, 28 clinic, 80,000 patients, 66,000 on contraception. texas, 38 clinic, 150,000 patients and 108,000 on contraception and others dealing with sexually transmitted diseases. if those clinics went away, we're talking about 28 in a big state like ohio, 38 in texas. thousands of women losing access to health care. is that not correct, ms. richards? >> tha

of -- are losing sight defund planned parenthood, but it is not the republicans who are defunding it.t will be the president by a not signing it and you have to run everybody and commercials. the president is the one shutting down the government, not us. host: ok. guest: what the caller is referring to is the fact that we disagree with the president on the funding bill. the government shuts down. that happened back in 2013. he is making the point that that is the resident to a shutting government down rather than a republican congress. look, when i told reporters all the time, no matter what gets wrong, -- no matter what goes wrong, republicans get the blame. well, thelicans say, shut down in 2013 her republicans. my question is, how to do her republicans? thetly thereafter we gained largest majority in 70 years. why? because our base size fighting for our principles. they know we can't always move, -- always win, to kill the one we don't have the white house, that at least they saw us fighting for our principles. we lost the last presidential election largely because our base to not

parenthood. reporter: they have not denied that the video released may have shown miscarried babies instead fetuses.d that has not stopped politicians who want to defund planned parenthood. >> last year, they had more than 100 million dollars in revenue without expenses. this is an organization that doesn't need federal subsidies. reporter: carly fiorina made this a large part of her platform. >> this is about the character of our nation. reporter: bringing her into conflict with this voter. >> i do support women. >> how? >> i am a woman, ma'am. reporter: some congressional republicans had vowed not to vote for any spending bill that did not defund planned parenthood, although that appears increasingly less likely. is expected to make an announcement this week regarding a date for new leadership elections. house majority leader kevin mccarthy is moving aggressively to lock up support to succeed boehner after making his candidacy official in a letter to fellow lawmakers. we are learning more this noon about a serious security threat during pope francis pop u.s. visit -- pope francis's u.s. visit. a man was driving on the tarmac where the papal plane ha

adore and respect and support, could somehow magically pick up the slack overnight if planned parenthood is defunded-income bem who defend on planned parenthood clinics, this scenario would mean the loss of affordable and accessible contraceptive services and counseling, as well as breast and cervical cancer screenings and testing. the idea that our community health centers could overnight suddenly step up and cover millions of new patients is simply wrong and shows a fundamental misunderstanding by republicans on how our country's health care system works. in fact, the good marcher institute recently found in 21% of counties with a planned parenthood health center, planned parenthood is the only safety net family planning provider. the report also states in a in -- that in 2/3 of the 491 counties in which they are located, planned parenthood health centers serve at least half of all women obtaining contraceptive care. 1/5 of the counties which they are located, planned parenthood sites are the sole safety net family planning center. this makes clear just how devastating it would be for these commun

while they may not get planned parenthood defunded, though, those same conservatives greeted boehner's resignation as a major victory. kevin mccarthy, another establishment republican, who said he will be receiving the speakership is widely expected to be elected to that position. members of the house freedom caucus, boehner's main antagonists, signaled they may put up a fight. >> i think it's fair to say kevin has the inside track for the position being our leader and so forth. i think an important question is will things change? will they change for the better? or will we simply replace mr. boehner with somebody wholesale will do the same things? >> joining me msnbc political analyst and former rnc chair michael steele and jess mcintosh, spokesman for emily's list. michael, lets me start with you. the republican party as an organization, as an institution with an institutional center of gravity and power over its members to kind of set the debate and pull the levers, is as weak as it has been in a very long time. >> true. it's basically rudderless right now. there's no leadership off

you should put a defunding of planned parenthood bill on the desk.f he's going to veto it, let the american people see that he stands with the folks that believe that the systematic murder of children in the womb in a way that preserves the body parts to be sold on the open market for profit is something that he stands for. that's an important differentiation between our party and the president's party if that's the position he wants to take. so let's take action and put it on his desk. if he wants to veto them. i know the way the system works, let him veto them and we'll go from there. >> the pope will soon be until the united states. right now the pope is in cuba. he helped broker the new steps of diplomatic ties between this country and the communist leaders of that country. do you think the pope made a mistake? >> i think the pope is wrong. so the fact is that his infallibility is on religious matters. not on political ones. and the fact is that, for me, i just believe that when you have a government that is harboring fugitives, murdering fugitiv

so, should planned parenthood be defunded? host of "the ben ferguson show," and maria. ben, take the prosecution, because that's really what this is. what's the best case to get rid of planned parenthood or defund it, in essence, and, maria, you respond. >> the fact they have people on camera selling baby parts is where i would start. i want to make this very clear. this is not about taking away a woman's right to choose. this if we defund planned parenthood, this does not change roe v. wade. those trying to fear monger saying, this takes away a woman's right to choose, it's not -- >> ben, ben, i have to stop you there. ben, hold on. >> no, no, let me finish. >> if you take away -- >> let me finish. >> go ahead. >> let me finish. you have the same right if we defunded planned parenthood with my tax dollars. the point is this, you don't take a half a billion dollars of taxpayer funds to give to an organization that butchers babies to sell their parts and was caught on camera multiple times. you can say these videos were doctored
