Supreme Court rejects anti-abortion activists' undercover video cases

Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a bid by anti-abortion activists to win the release of videos they surreptitiously recorded at meetings of abortion providers.

The justices declined to take up appeals by the abortion opponents and left in place a lower court’s ruling blocking the release of videos that had the aim of exposing alleged illegal sales of aborted fetal tissue for profit. The trial judge in the case concluded there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the abortion providers captured in the videos.

The activists, including anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress founder David Daleiden, recorded the videos in 2014 and 2015 at annual meetings of the National Abortion Federation, a nonprofit organization representing abortion providers including affiliates of Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood has said the videos were heavily edited to leave a false impression of wrongdoing.

Especially those with disabilities.

That's a Supreme Court ruling I'd drink to.

Not only would the children suffer as you correctly pointed out but the children would also be indoctrinated & molded into extremism themselves!!!

It's always been one of the great ironies that the people most opposed to birth control, are usually the ones least fit to raise children.
