The Washington Post has a fascinating profile of David Daleiden, who insinuated himself into abortionist circles to secretly record those Planned Parenthood videos showing officials joking about abortion and fetal tissue trafficking.\u00a0 The story tells how he did it.<\/p>\n

From Meet the millennial who infiltrated the guarded world of abortion providers \u2013 The Washington Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The slim young man with the Clark Kent glasses mingled easily at the conference of abortion providers. By day, he sat quietly in his company\u2019s booth, under a sign festooned with a burbling lab flask. By night, he schmoozed with presenters at the swanky hotel bar.<\/p>\n

If people noticed that he seemed a bit stiff, they tended to write it off as an odd physical tic. In fact, David Daleiden was probably trying to keep his hidden camera straight.<\/p>\n

\n

Daleiden, 26, is the anti\u00adabortion activist who masterminded the recent undercover campaign aimed at proving that Planned Parenthood illegally sells what he calls aborted \u201cbaby body parts.\u201d He captured intimate details of the famously guarded organization, hobnobbing at conferences so secretive they require background checks and talking his way into a back laboratory at a Colorado clinic where he picked through the remains of aborted fetuses and displayed them luridly for the camera.<\/p>\n

Daleiden\u2019s videos landed like a bomb in Washington this summer, providing fodder for a crowded field of Republican presidential contenders and energizing social conservatives on Capitol Hill. They also shed harsh new light on the venerable women\u2019s health organization, capturing officials sipping wine while joking about abortion and appearing to haggle over the price of fetal tissue.<\/p>\n

This week, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards announced that the group would continue to donate tissue for medical research but would no longer accept compensation for storing and delivering the specimens. She said the organization has done nothing wrong but decided to take this step to disarm its critics.<\/p>\n

Daleiden, characteristically, saw things in darker tones.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty much an admission of guilt,\u201d he said this week.<\/p>\n
