Planned Parenthood Suit Tossed

Post by kbot » 06-22-2017 03:42 PM

Major blow to PP, who had staff members filmed while discussing the sale of fetal body parts. PP was upset that the parties were filmed "without permission". Translation - "They were in public and got caught discussing PPs seamier side......."

In any event, 14 of the 15 charges were tossed by the court (in San Francisco no less...)

California Court Dismisses 14 Criminal Charges against Center for Medical Progress

This afternoon, the San Francisco Superior Court tossed out 14 of the 15 criminal charges that had been brought by the state of California against two journalists from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), after they released a series of undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s possible involvement in illegal fetal-tissue trafficking.

In late March, California attorney general Xavier Becerra charged David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt with 15 felony charges for recording what he deemed to be confidential communications. Today, a judge dismissed 14 of those charges, but will still consider the remaining fifteenth charge, against Merritt alone, for conspiring to invade privacy.

In a statement today, an official with the group representing Merritt said they are optimistic about having this charge dropped as well. He also pointed out that Becerra received thousands of dollars in campaign donations from both Planned Parenthood and NARAL during his time as a Democratic congressman.
