Congress of the United States House of Representatives July 29, 2015 The Honorable John Bochner ‘The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Steve Scalise H-232, The Capitol H-107, The Capitol H-329, The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader MeCarthy, and Whip Scalise: It is with great urgency that we write concerning Planned Parenthood Federation of America. We ate deeply disturbed at recent reports that Planned Parenthood has been selling the tissue of unborn babies for profit. As firm believers in the sanctity of life, beginning at conception, we are horrified at these reports. It is imperative that Congress do everything within its power to investigate these reports and take immediate action to stop them. In the meantime, we must act to fully defund Planned Parenthood. Please know that we cannot and will not support any funding resolution — an appropriations bill, an omnibus package, a contin resolution, ot otherwise — that contains any funding for Planned Parenthood, including mandatory funding streams. In addition, we think that it would be helpful to all House Republicans to have a special conference at the earliest possible date to discuss how best to address these atroci These activities by Planned Parenthood cannot go unanswered by Congress. We look forward to your response and prompt attention in this matter. fember of Congress fember 6f Congress Raul Labrador Member of Congress Johy Mgffiber of Congress FANTED ON RECYCLED PAPER‘Matt Salmom Member of Congress Jeif n Tim Huelskai Member of Congress Tin be im | Thomas Massie Member of Congress ot Jones ? 5 Member of Congress Curt Clawson, Member of Congress Keith Rothfus Membr of Congress dy We) Member of Congress Kaew p~ Ménber of Congress Louie Gohmert Member of Congress
