Courts rule Daleiden must turn over documents, video footage [of Planned Parenthood]

Source: Politico

Two courts have ruled in as many days that anti-abortion activist David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress must turn over private documents and submit to questions about how they orchestrated their video sting of Planned Parenthood.

The rulings could require Daleiden to turn over paperwork and details of his operation, such as how he got into National Abortion Federation conferences. They also say he must provide the full, raw footage he collected of some of his meetings while posing as an executive of a fictitious tissue procurement firm.

Opponents hope that those could show that he violated laws to obtain footage.

The videos, which purport to show that Planned Parenthood makes a profit from selling fetal tissue from aborted fetuses — allegations the women's health provider denies — have set off a furor and led to calls to strip the group of government funding.

When Daleiden loses, I just want him to be ordered to go on every TV talk show in America and admit the evil he has done, to stand before Congress and request they stop investigating Planned Parenthood over his lies, and to turn over the assets of his business to Planned Parenthood.

playing the victim of some evil liberal conspiracy, while peddling some book or bullshit project. Admitting his illegal activities won't be a part of it, however.

The GOP operative manufacturers of this politically motivated and created smear should be in jail.

"The videos, which purport to show that Planned Parenthood makes a profit from selling fetal tissue from aborted fetuses — allegations the women's health provider denies — have set off a furor and led to calls to strip the group of government funding."

The whole mess is bullshit. The M$M report only that PP denies it, not that the whole operation was a lie and that it may be criminal as well. Typical journalistic fail.

They are wasting money investigating clinics that don't do tissue donations. The AG in charge is a pro-lifer and running for Governor in 2016. THIS REALLY STINKS!

But for those interested in Truth, this is a step in the right direction.

Let's pray that the creeps get thoroughly discredited (and even jailed - dare we hope?) before the election. Nuke 'em all, and take down all the politicians who have bet their careers on these lies!

They probably deleted the raw footage figuring nobody would be able to expose the editing.

Now they need to prove they got permission to film.

On my request that the Pope excommunicate David Daleiden and Lila Rose for their serial lying about Planned Parenthood, not to mention their dirty tricks, setting up phony companies, hiring actors to misrepresent themselves, etc. If anyone happens to see the Pope while he's around, would you be so kind as to ask him what's going on with that? I'm not Catholic myself, but those two are. Did somebody just delete my request because I'm not Catholic? Is that it?!?!
