In what must certainly be a grave lapse in professional judgment,<\/strong> the publicist who serves\u00a0the National Abortion Federation has added me to her\u00a0email\u00a0distribution list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
It\u2019s like being given the keys to a Ferrari<\/strong> (if you know to what I refer): \u00a0I sit at my desk, minding my own business, and behind-the-scenes information and misinformation from the enemy pops up in\u00a0my inbox. I\u2019m sure that the\u00a0pastiche\u00a0of callous disregard\u00a0and jumbled thinking that the\u00a0organization vomits will eventually contain a real scoop\u2013so I take time to read it before hitting \u201cDelete.\u201d<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
Today\u00a0I\u2019m reading\u00a0the\u00a0NAF\u2019s perspective\u00a0on a discovery hearing<\/strong> which was held last Friday, August 21. In that hearing, legal counsel for the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) and Biomax notified the court that all defendants would be pleading the Fifth Amendment in response to pending discovery requests, in order to refrain from self-incrimination. As part of the undercover investigation, the individuals, who are known to Planned Parenthood only by their alias identities, masqueraded as Biomax representatives with an interest in contracting to illegally purchase\u00a0body parts from aborted fetuses.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
A temporary restraining order (TRO) was imposed by the court July 31,<\/strong> prohibiting the Center for Medical Progress, David Daleiden, and others from releasing any confidential information from NAF meetings. According to the\u00a0NAF\u2019s\u00a0release on July 31, the abortion giant\u00a0is unwilling to defend its own indefensible actions; in fact, they think that CMF\u2019s accurately reporting the words and actions of their employees constitutes an \u201congoing campaign of threats and harassment against health care providers.\u201d (The restraining order did not prohibit release of information obtained elsewhere\u2013so the scandal dump continues, with Americans learning more with each new shoe dropping about the abortion industry\u2019s insensate disregard for human life.)<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
The TRO will remain in effect until a\u00a0preliminary injunction hearing,<\/strong> which was scheduled for August 27, then rescheduled for October 9, and is now tabled while other motions and matters related to discovery are heard.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
Vicki Saporta,<\/strong> the president of the National Abortion Federation (and recipient of the liberal\u00a0pressure group ACLU\u2019s award this week in Atlanta), told reporters that the temporary restraining order is \u201cincredibly important to ensuring the safety and security of our members.\u201d<\/em> (Apparently, she thinks that people who are horrified by the death and dismemberment of innocent tiny humans would think nothing about inflicting mortal injury upon the corrupt, fully-grown humans in her clinics.)<\/strong><\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
Saporta continued:<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cSince Daleiden, CMP, and Newman initiated this latest smear campaign against abortion providers, we have seen an alarming increase in anti-abortion hate speech, threats, and criminal activity, including death threats made against providers. We take these threats very seriously and have been working with law enforcement to help ensure that this escalation does not lead to violence.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
.<\/div>\n
Again, Ms. Saporta: Get a grip.<\/strong> Not on the leg of a helpless child growing in the womb, but on the reality of the situation. <\/strong><\/div>\n
.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Your people kill; pro-lifers pray.<\/strong>\u00a0We pray for you, pray for the babies, pray for an end to abortion.<\/div>\n
