Speech By: Janice D. Schakowsky

1:27:53 to 1:28:17( Edit History Discussion )

Janice D. Schakowsky: in this country, we have planned parenthood. the last statistics that i have here before me tonight were put forward in 2006, planned parenthood admits to performing 289,650 abortions, killing that many unborn children.

1:28:20 to 1:28:40( Edit History Discussion )

Janice D. Schakowsky: they have a profit that year of 12 million. yet, taxpayers' dollars went to that organization to the tune of 36 million that hard w taxpayers sent to the federal government, in your tax dollars.

1:28:41 to 1:29:01( Edit History Discussion )

Janice D. Schakowsky: we have to stop funding thi organization, this killing these children. they say it's not used for abortion but for family planning, used for other things. this is just a shell game. it's traffering funds from one -- transferring funds from one place to another so they can continue this culture of death

1:29:02 to 1:29:23( Edit History Discussion )

Janice D. Schakowsky: that ty promote. and it's about money for them. it's about power. to the abortionist, it's about making a lot of money. and that's what it's all about. i don't see how they can look in the mirror every morning after they have killed all these children, because i know within my heart that they have to know

1:29:24 to 1:29:44( Edit History Discussion )

Janice D. Schakowsky: that that's a child, that that's a living human being. we have, as physicians, know that. in fact, when i graduated from medical school, from the medical college of georgiai did a pledge, callatic oath and in that oath there are

1:29:45 to 1:30:05( Edit History Discussion )

Janice D. Schakowsky: two things i pledged to do, one is to do know harm. abortion does harm to that child. separate human being. not the mother's body, the child's body and we're doing harm. and secondly, more importantly, i pledged not to do an abortion. sadly, medical schools don't do the hipcratic oath anymore. why don't they do it?

1:30:06 to 1:30:26( Edit History Discussion )

Janice D. Schakowsky: the two reasons i just stated, because the pledge and the hipcratic oath says i will do know harm and i will not commit an abortion. medical schools, doctors today don't take that pledge any longer. but this is the most important issue we face morally as a nation.

1:30:27 to 1:30:30( Edit History Discussion )

Janice D. Schakowsky: we have to stop the killing of these kids. there is absolutely no question about it.
