WASHINGTON, D.C.—Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) issued the following statement regarding the gruesome practices discussed by a Planned Parenthood official in a video released yesterday:
“Respect for life is not just a conservative value—it is an American value that unites us all. The gruesome practices described by a top Planned Parenthood official represent a disregard for human life that is completely unacceptable and has no place in our society. I urge my House colleagues on both sides of the aisle to aggressively investigate this matter so the American people can know the truth, to take action to hold the abortion industry accountable and to stop this horrifying practice.”
