The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“THE GOSNELL TRIAL” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H2328-H2329 on April 25, 2013.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
THE GOSNELL TRIAL
(Mrs. BACHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, it's difficult for me to even speak about this subject today. I'm a woman who's been privileged to give birth to 5 children, and I've also taken 23 children into my home as foster children. It's very hard for me to imagine, Mr. Speaker, that a doctor in this country, a doctor who took an oath to do no harm, would, in fact, kill a woman at his abortion clinic and he would sever the heads of four babies that were born alive--and potentially others--and commit one gruesome act after another.
Shamelessly, the mainstream media has all but gone silent and failed to cover this horrific violence against women.
No one, Democrat or Republican, believes in violence against women. We abhor it. But there's nothing that even comes close to what's happened in this abortion clinic in Pennsylvania. The officials in Pennsylvania and the State Department of Health, unfortunately--it appears, willfully--ignored this heinous crime. It also appears that this has been ignored now across our Nation.
Well, we won't ignore it. And I thank God for the men who stood up here today to stand for women and against violence against women. I lend my voice and my support to that effort as well.
