Planned Parenthood strikes back

Planned Parenthood is suing the people who made those videos exposing the organization’s fetal tissue trafficking and other embarrassing facts.

From Leigh Jones, Planned Parenthood Sues over Undercover Videos -, World News Service, Christian News Headlines:

Planned Parenthood filed suit Jan. 14 in federal court against the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), accusing the group of conducting “a complex criminal enterprise conceived and executed by anti-abortion extremists.”

The abortion giant claims CMP founder David Daleiden and his team broke laws in several states, as well as federal laws, by secretly taping private conversations and trespassing, using fake identities to gain access to Planned Parenthood facilities. Daleiden conducted a three-year, undercover operation, during which he posed as a fetal-tissue buyer and secretly taped Planned Parenthood executives and abortionists talking about the group’s methods of and payments for procuring the bodies of aborted babies for scientific research. CMP began releasing videos from the operation in July.

Until now, Planned Parenthood has left legal action against CMP to others.

“Today, Planned Parenthood is going on the offense,” Kathy Kneer, president of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California said in a call with reporters.

Planned Parenthood did not respond to WORLD’s request for access to the press call.

The lawsuit is not unexpected, and Daleiden does not seem particularly worried about it.
