When the United States makes major, binding international commitments, they must – always – be subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. This is a basic principle that can’t be stated, and restated, enough.

"Applying timeless conservative principles to fix today’s broken government policies, and help all Americans in their pursuit of happiness, has always been the bread and butter of what Heritage does. It’s how I’ve tried to approach my work in the Senate for the past five years. And it’s what brings me here today to talk about the need for criminal justice reform."

Today I would like to briefly review the evidence against Planned Parenthood, evidence brought to light thanks to whistleblowers and journalists working with a pro-life organization called the Center for Medical Progress.

Everyone who has watched the Planned Parenthood videos knows that they have the power to change minds – and only in one direction. So the pro-abortion news media is doing everything they can to suppress the videos’ exposure.
