Using a politician. Weve all taken pride when crowds chant usa in fan filled arenas. But for the Perry High School basketball team. Its turned into a mockery as opposing fans have used the chant to blatantly target the minorities whos parents may be from other countries. Perry high school bucks the trend of what is typically found in a rural iowa setting. We are really more of an urban school in a rural setting. Here at the high school we are 48percent minority. They embrace that diversity and it shows on the Basketball Court with players of latino, native american and African American desent. Its all about who you are as a person and thats what is great about a small town like perry. Unfortunate ly that diversity isnt being celebrated by everyone. We are all aware of racism, its alive and well in small portions but its alive and well and its just hurtfull to see thats what they resort too. At monday nights game against Dallas Center grimes opposing fans used trumps disdain for Illegal
Like to ask one question. That has to do with the issues. You wanted to say something, and i want to give you that opportunity. It is clear it refers to both. My experience 16 years you representing a foundation a new a little bit about it. Among the things i know are donations are highly, highly regulated. s very highly regulated. When it comes to adult tissue just for research, there are still regulations but far fewer. I immediately saw, with the exhibit, explaining more things. It was not just about feel. And so you talk. Mother is somebody, they can do a lot of things with that. Thank you, madam chair. You are recognized for five minutes. No we should make a profit off the sale a baby body parts. That is something that is shared by the Majority Party as of 1993, henry waxman, democrat said, it will be it the front to allow for the sale of fetal tissue in the market and get one, two, three, and four are receiving 700 to 850 per brain. Its but i want to focus on the Abortion Clinics
Website. And so, i think your words need to be taken down. Accusing staff our staff of leaking that is not true. Those words should be taken down. Madam chair . Blackburn the staff had asked for the documents to be shared. Before thehared website, released to the entity. In order to take comments down, they have to be personal in nature. So with that, let us begin with our opening statement. And then, we will receive our first panel of witnesses. As i was beginning earlier, i want to welcome all of our witnesses who are here today. Im going to introduce each of you later. As we move forward with our testimony on the pricing of fetal tissue, as part of my opening statement, i will present a narrative about the exhibits that todays hearing will discuss. I have said many times that my hope is that both parties can Work Together on some things. And todays subject matter should be an opportunity to do so for a couple of reasons. First, at our initial hearing on bioethics and fetal tissue, a
Population. And when we try to strengthen the population.

Mandated International Coalition to prevent some of the behaviorly murderous that gadhafi was talking about. That it was important for us to properly plan, prepare, and resource what came next.
