Democratic Representitvie Jackie Speier, from California, recently shocked the House floor with her description of a 2nd trimester abortion she was forced to have after the fetus moved to where it couldn't survive. "I lost a baby." Congresswoman Speier said angrily. "But for you to stand on this floor and to suggest, as you have, that somehow this is a procedure that is either welcomed or done cavalierly or done without any thought is preposterous."

Speier had just listened to Rep. Chris Smith R-N.J., assail Planned Parenthood as a place where babies are "exterminated." He described a procedure known as "dilation and evacutation" as fetal murder.

She later told the San Jose Mercury News she shared here story after listening the graphic description of the procedure and thinking, "not one of you has endured this procedure. How dare you? How dare you talk about it in those terms."

The Republican led House of Representitaves voted to cut funding for Planned Parenthood. According to their website, Planned Parenthood "delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of men, women and young people worldwide."
