The jury in the “Baby Body Parts” trial of activist and journalist David Daleiden has delivered a blow to undercover journalism, declaring that secret filming is now illegal and can leave journalists open to massive damages.
Planned Parenthood was awarded almost $2 million for the filming after alleging activist journalist David Daleiden secretly recorded executives negotiating to sell baby body parts.
Peter Breen, a lawyer for Mr. Daleiden, said the judgement is a direct threat to undercover journalism in California and across the country.
“Undercover Journalism now comes with a $2 million price tag,” he said.
Mr. Breen blamed Judge William Orrick&#8217;s directions to the jury for the verdict.
“The judge should have told them that Mr. Daleiden&#8217;s filming was protected by the First Amendment. Instead, he told them the First Amendment is no defense, which is outrageous and not the law. When you have a series of unfair rulings, you can’t expect a fair verdict,” Breen said.
Judge Orrick <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-in-planned-parenthood-trial-orders-guilty-verdict-against-journalist">told the jury</a> in advance of their verdict that he has decided to find Daleiden guilty of trespass during his undercover journalism. Daleiden previously lost an attempt to have Judge Orrick removed from the case, alleging he was biased against the defendants.
Planned Parenthood sued Daleiden and his colleagues after they released secretly recorded videos of Planned Parenthood executives haggling over the sale and price of baby body parts from abortions in their facilities. Planned Parenthood made a series of claims – stating they had caused damages because of their invasion of privacy with the undercover filming, fraud because they set up a false buying company, and RICO conspiracy because a number of people worked together in the project. RICO charges are more normally associated with criminal mafia cases. The jury found for Planned Parenthood in all their claims.
Daleiden and his colleagues Sandra Merritt, Albin Rhomberg, Adrian Lopez and Troy Newman, denied all the charges.
Planned Parenthood originally sought $20 million in damages against Daleiden and his colleagues. Daleiden recorded Planned Parenthood executives stating they changed abortion techniques to ensure better and more profitable body parts were retrieved for sale. His attorneys argue that the recordings took place in public places, such as restaurants and hotels, where participants have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
Planned Parenthood did not sue Daleiden for defamation or slander and the organization’s lawyers did not state that the videos were inaccurate or exaggerated. They instead claimed that they were filmed as a result of trespassing and other illegal methods. The organization is also claiming Daleiden and his colleagues are guilty of fraud for setting up a fake company and identifications to open business conversations with Planned Parenthood executives.
The defendants argued that they were involved in journalism and revealing criminal activity.

Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood of Washington state has a brilliant idea to regain support after losing a dramatic battle in the Clark County, Washington, Battle Ground School District, which voted back in October to remove sex education fromthe school curriculum beyond what is required by law: have an all ages, all genders sex worshop featuring &#8220;clitoris and pleasure education&#8221;and erotic pole dancing.
The Battle Ground School board voted &#8220;to overhaul its internal sexual health education policy,&#8221; according to a localpaper, &#8220;eliminating requirements that the district teach sex ed unless the state requires it. As it stands, Washington law only requires that school districts teach about HIV and AIDS prevention. If districts do teach sexual health education, it must be comprehensive and compliant with state standards.&#8221;
The crux of the disagreement was a new proposal to teach &#8220;gender identity&#8221; in sex education classes, but Planned Parenthood appeared to take the decision as a major blow, likely because the abortion provider pushes its own outlines for sex education, which do include lessons on &#8220;gender identity&#8221; and early introduction to the concept of sexual orientation.
Fearing that its message wasn&#8217;t getting to the voters of Washington state, apparently, Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest &amp; Hawaii, held an even where supporters could &#8220;celebrate our sexuality and enjoy an irreverently playful night of fundraising, fitness, sex talk, and exotic pole dance performances.&#8221;
The purpose of the &#8220;celebration&#8221; wasn&#8217;t just to learn pole dancing for fun (and possibly profit), but to put Planned Parenthood supporters on the same page about sex education in Washington state. Since school districts are opting out, choosing to teach only what is required by the state, Planned Parenthood is moving its activism to the state level to agitate for including more &#8220;comprehensive&#8221; lessons in state-mandated sex ed classes.
&#8220;We&#8217;ll begin the night with Pilates and Barre class demos followed by a sexy floor work lesson and a presentation on feminine sensual movement; we will then transition into our educational portion with an informational session about the Clitoris, pleasure, and making sex ed mandatory in Washington State; the night will end with a Wicked Sexy Carnival Side Show themed pole dance showcase brought to you be Pole at Play,&#8221; the invitation reads.
It comes with an agenda breakdown.
<blockquote>4 &#8211; 5 p.m.: Pilates and Barre Class Sampler 
5 &#8211; 5:30p.m.: Sexy Floor Work Lesson 
5:30 &#8211; 6 p.m.: The Art of Feminine Sensual Movement 
6 &#8211; 6:30 p.m.: Clitoris and Pleasure Education with Planned Parenthood 
6:30 &#8211; 7 p.m.: Sex Ed in Washington State Informational with Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawaii 
7- 9 p.m. Wicked Sexy Pole Dance Showcase presented by Pole at Play</blockquote>
For a mere ten dollars, you could access the fun and learn how you can do your part to force controversial ideas on impressionable children.
Actually, the children are welcome! &#8220;As a programming note, this event is open to folks of all genders and ages.&#8221;
Even the boys! &#8220;The theme for the night is a reclamation of pleasure, and while we emphasize the Clitoris, we understand that not all folks who have marginalized sexualities have a Clitoris or are femme presenting.&#8221;
Charming.

The judge in the “Baby Body Parts” trial of activist and journalist David Daleiden has ordered the jury find him guilty of trespassing at Planned Parenthood conferences and clinics — before the jury retired to consider a verdict.
Planned Parenthood is suing Daleiden and his colleagues after they released secretly recorded videos of executives haggling over the sale and price of baby body parts from abortions in their facilities.
Daleiden is contesting all the charges. However, Judge William Orrick told the jury that he has decided to find Daleiden guilty of trespass during his undercover journalism. Daleiden previously lost an attempt to have Judge Orrick removed from the case, alleging he was biased against the defendants.
Thejudge stated that the jury must find that Daleiden and others “trespassed at the 2014 Forum in Miami, Florida; at the 2015 MeDC meeting in Orlando, Florida; and the 2015 National Conference in Washington, D.C.”
“I have already determined that these defendants trespassed at each of these locations. Because I determined that these defendants trespassed, the law assumes that Planned Parenthood has been harmed and is entitled to an award of nominal damages such as one dollar for each trespass,” he told the jury as the trial comes to a conclusion.
The judge said he had also determined that Daleiden and his colleagues trespassed at the Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountain Center in Colorado and a Planned Parenthood Center in Texas.
The judge said the jury must accept his rulings and only decide if Planned Parenthood suffered damage from the trespass and what damages they should be awarded.
Planned Parenthood originally sought $20 million in damages for trespassing, fraud, and RICO conspiracy against Daleiden and his colleagues. However, Judge Orrick reduced potential damages to $600,000.
Daleiden recorded Planned Parenthood executives stating they changed abortion techniques to ensure better and more profitable body parts were retrieved for sale. His attorneys argue that the recordings took place in public places, such as restaurants and hotels, where participants have no expectation of privacy.
Planned Parenthood is not suing Daleiden for defamation or slander and the organization’s lawyers did not state that the videos were inaccurate or exaggerated. They instead claimed they were filmed as a result of trespassing and other illegal methods. The organization is also claiming Daleiden and his colleagues are guilty of fraud for setting up a fake company and identifications to open business conversations with Planned Parenthood executives.
Addressing the jury at the close of the trial, Peter Breen, counsel for Daleiden and his colleagues, said the case is “about the steps it took for private citizen investigators to cut through a curtain of silence and concealment.”
“They didn&#8217;t do it for profit or for personal gain.  They did it for the paramount public purpose of letting Americans know and law enforcers investigate whether and to what extent our laws may have been violated. And they are not just any laws, but these are laws relating to homicide against born human beings, laws against the selling of body parts and organs of aborted human fetuses, and the laws against changing medical procedures without knowledge and consent to obtain more valuable fetal parts,” he told the jury.
He referred to Planned Parenthood lawyers stating that the case is about “protecting the brand.”
“But what is it, that hurt the brand? The very words spoken by Planned Parenthood personnel on those videos is what hurt the brand,” Breen contended.
Breen argued that at no point during the trial did Planned Parenthood dispute the accuracy of the secretly recorded videos.
“Now, Planned Parenthood could have tried to dispute this issue, but when push came to shove here at trial, a place where you need hard evidence to back up your claims, they had nothing. This is what so outraged the public. The true words of Planned Parenthood&#8217;s top abortion doctors and other personnel,” he told the jury.
He added that it was not a case of fraud or racketeering but rather one about the freedom of the press.
“This is a case of undercover journalism. And we, the people, need that information. You need that information. You may not like seeing that information. It may be difficult or whatever. But we don&#8217;t want to stop the flow of information.”
Also addressing the jury was Charles Limandri, another lawyer for Daleiden and his colleagues, who said the evidence they heard showed “people, obviously, making huge profits selling and buying fetal tissue, which is not legal.”
“Different people understanding they have different views about using undercover techniques where you have to misrepresent your identity and misrepresent why you&#8217;re there.  But if you&#8217;re doing it to save human lives and to stop the type of atrocities that we&#8217;re talking about here, it&#8217;s fully justifiable,” he added.
He said the charges were an attempt by Planned Parenthood to “conceal criminal activity.”
“And they even want you to use a threat of punitive damages to stop them — stop anybody from ever being able to show — do that again. And they want to destroy these defendants, financially.”
The jury has retired to consider its verdict.

Judge In Planned Parenthood Trial Orders Guilty Verdict Against Journalist

California

Abortion propaganda has become so pervasive in the entertainment industry that the dialogue on TV shows is now starting to sound like &#8220;Fireproof&#8221; for abortion enthusiasts. Take the latest episode of NBC’s &#8220;Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit&#8221; for example – an episode that almost literally treats its characters like puppets to spout talking points that could have come from a Planned Parenthood pamphlet.
As reported by <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/lindsay-kornick/2019/10/18/law-order-svu-upholds-13-year-olds-right-abortion">Newsbusters</a>, the October 17 episode “The Burden of Our Choices” focuses on a 13-year-old girl from an evangelical Christian family in Ohio who escaped to New York in order to obtain an abortion after her stepfather rapes her. Since Ohio requires minors to have permission from family members in order to obtain an abortion, the girl&#8217;s case becomes a major court battle. At one point in the episode, members of the SVU debate the case and it&#8217;s hard not to see a Planned Parenthood executive writing the script where the showrunners left off.
From the transcript provided by Newsbusters:
<blockquote>Carisi: Appeals court just refused to hear Ohio’s case. Even some pro-life groups thought the charges were ridiculous.
Olivia: Well, they are.
Tamin: So you guys aren’t under arrest? What about the stay on the abortion?
Carisi: Family court didn’t want to make a ruling until Ohio’s arrest warrants have been dismissed. They’re still deliberating.
Tamin: For how long? She’s 12 weeks pregnant. Any day after the first trimester, it gets more complicated.
Olivia: And that’s part of Ohio’s plan, is to run out the clock.
Tamin: I’m sorry, what century is this? All these old white men trying to control women’s bodies? I mean, how far off are we from “The Handmaid’s Tale”?
Olivia: You grew up taking these rights for granted. My mother, there was a time when she considered abortion, and her only option was – was back-alley. The bottom line is, if you have enough money, there’s always a way. But it’s these poor women, these girls – in some states, they’re gonna see deaths. That’s where this is going.
Tamin: They think that’s what we’re going back to.
Carisi: Fundamentalists, Catholics – they see abortion as deaths.
Tamin: You’re Catholic, right? Is that what you think?
Carisi: What I think is what I think. But if a woman is the victim of rape or incest –
Tamin: I hear that, and it sounds like you’re saying that a woman has to be a victim in order to have control over her own body.
Olivia: That’s not what he’s saying.
Tamin: Good. Because it’s not a decision that should ever be made by a group of men or a prosecutor who’s never had to make that choice.
Olivia: Guys, guys, guys.
Carisi: J-just so we’re clear. My job is to uphold that girl’s rights, and that’s what I’m doing. But I’m sorry, I don’t see this as black-and-white. In my experience, no woman wants to have an abortion.
Olivia: Okay.
Tamin: Fair enough. But these laws that are getting passed, they are not the answer.
Olivia: No, they’re not.</blockquote>
Spoilers: The episode ends with the 13-year-old girl receiving the abortion.

‘Law &#038; Order: SVU’ Episode Pushes Cringe-Worthy Abortion Propaganda

Hollywood

A Planned Parenthood doctor who was secretly recorded stating she changed abortion techniques to get intact hearts, lungs and livers to sell has defended her comments in a San Francisco courtroom.
Dr. Deborah Nucatola, the former Senior Director of Medical Services for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, told the court this week that she believed the comments she made to David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt in an undercover video were, “no big deal.”
Dr. Nucatola was giving evidence in a lawsuit taken by Planned Parenthood against Daleiden, a journalist and activist who secretly recorded the organization haggling over the price of body parts from abortions.
Despite detailing the harvesting of baby organs, skulls and other body parts, and changing procedures without patient permission to make them more intact and valuable, the court heard that Dr. Nucatola “didn&#8217;t get the big deal and didn&#8217;t think there was anything wrong in the video with what I said.&#8221;
Daleiden set up a fake company and posed as a buyer looking to buy baby organs and limbs for research and commercial use and recorded Nucatola saying &#8220;a lot of people want liver &#8230; a lot of people want intact hearts these days.” She also said she had just been asked to provide lungs from an abortion.
The secret recording also revealed Dr. Nucatola boasting about how she would change abortion techniques to acquire more intact and therefore more valuable samples.
“I’d say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps. The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is the calvarium, the head is basically the biggest part. Most of the other stuff can come out intact. It’s very rare to have a patient that doesn’t have enough dilation to evacuate all the other parts intact,” according to videos shown yesterday in the San Francisco courtroom.
Dr. Nucatola was recorded detailing exactly how she would ensure a more valuable specimen for sale.
“So then you’re just kind of cognizant of where you put your graspers, you try to intentionally go above and below the thorax, so that, you know, we’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m going to basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact,&#8221; she told the undercover journalists.
The jury heard how Dr. Nucatola was recorded stating that the position of the baby would be changed during the abortion to ensure a more intact skull could be harvested.
“And with the calvarium [skull], in general, some people will actually try to change the presentation so that it’s not vertex, because when it’s vertex presentation, you never have enough dilation at the beginning of the case, unless you have real, huge amount of dilation to deliver an intact calvarium [skull]. So if you do it starting from the breech presentation, there’s dilation that happens as the case goes on, and often, the last, you can evacuate an intact calvarium at the end. So I mean there are certainly steps that can be taken to try to ensure…. Exactly, exactly. Under ultrasound guidance, they can just change the presentation.”
Dr. Nucatola declined to defend her comments when approached by a Daily Wire correspondent outside the courtroom.

Planned Parenthood is seeking damages from Daleiden and his co-defendants for damages they say were caused by the videos. They are also seeking damages for breach of contract and fraud for misrepresentations made to infiltrate the organisation and for breach of privacy for filming the executives during negotiations.
Planned Parenthood had originally sought $20 million in damages for fraud and trespass against Daleiden and his colleagues. However, Judge William Orrick reduced potential damages to $600,000. Daleiden and his colleagues are denying liability. In situations where he broke the law regarding recording people without their permission Daleiden is claiming he was a journalist and that it is allowed under California law where it can be utilized to prevent a felony assault on a person.
Daleiden recorded Planned Parenthood executives stating they changed abortion techniques to ensure better and more profitable body parts were retrieved for sale. He also claims that the recordings took place in public places, such as restaurants and hotels, where participants have no expectation of privacy.
Planned Parenthood is not suing Daleiden for defamation or slander and in an opening argument the Planned Parent lawyers did not state that the videos were inaccurate or exaggerated. They instead claimed they were filmed through illegal methods. The organization is also claiming Daleiden and his colleagues are guilty of fraud for setting up a fake company and identifications to start the business conversations with the Planned Parenthood executives.

Abortion Doctor Doesn&#8217;t Get The &#8216;Big Deal&#8217; About Changing Procedures To Get More Valuable Hearts, Lungs, Livers

In a moment caught on video Tuesday, a man who appeared to be serving as a security guard for a Planned Parenthood doctor repeatedly pushed a journalist reporting on the abortion giant&#8217;s lawsuit against pro-life activist David Daleiden. The journalist, Phelim McAleer, who has been reporting on the trial for The Daily Wire, has filed a police report on the incident.
The confrontation took place outside of the San Francisco Court House after Dr. Mary Gatter finished giving evidence in Planned Parenthood&#8217;s suit against Dalieden, who famously released a series of undercover videos on the abortion provider&#8217;s involvement in the fetal tissue, or &#8220;baby body parts,&#8221; business.
Dalieden and his associates secretly filmed Gatter haggling over prices for fetal remains to be provided by Planned Parenthood to a fake company established by the activist journalists. During their secretly taped conversation, Gatter joked that she wanted enough profit from the deal to buy &#8220;a Lamborghini.&#8221; She also complained when Dalieden suggested the price of $50 per fetal tissue specimen, which Gatter described as &#8220;on the low end &#8230; $50 was like 12 years ago.&#8221;
Gatter was also caught on tape suggesting the company might consider using &#8220;less crunchy&#8221; methods of extracting aborted fetal remains to keep them more &#8220;whole,&#8221; and thus more valuable.
&#8220;Write me a three to four paragraph proposal, which I will then take to Laurel and the organization to see if we want to proceed with this,&#8221; Gatter says in Dalieden&#8217;s recording. &#8220;And, then, if we want to pursue this, mutually, I&#8217;ll mention this to Ian and see how he feels about using a &#8216;less crunchy&#8217; technique to get more whole specimens.&#8221;
Outside the courthouse Tuesday, while Dr. Gatter and her associates made their way from the court house to a black SUV waiting on the side of the street, McAleer attempted to get the doctor to answer questions related to the comments she made  featured in the exposé videos.
&#8220;Did you ever get your Lamborghini?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;In the tape you said you asked surgeons to change the method of abortion. Is that legal or ethical?&#8221; asked McAleer, who underscores in his follow-up comments that altering surgical techniques for profit is illegal.
As shown in the footage below, when McAleer attempts to get some responses from Gatter, a man who appears to be her security guard shoves the journalist repeatedly in an attempt to get him out of the way of Gatter and another associate.
&#8220;You&#8217;re assaulting me!&#8221; McAleer responds. &#8220;Take your hands off me! Take your hands off me!&#8221;
Her security guard &#8220;assaulted me several times,&#8221; McAleer says in his follow-up comments, telling The Daily Wire that the guard &#8220;jabbed me three times to prevent me from asking questions.&#8221;

&nbsp;
Before Gatter gave her testimony Tuesday, The Daily Wire has learned that Planned Parenthood&#8217;s lawyers had privately written to the judge looking for their witnesses to be escorted by officers from the U.S. Marshal&#8217;s Office in the courthouse to avoid journalists&#8217; questions. The abortion giant&#8217;s lawyers said two other Planned Parenthood executives had been questioned by a journalist, an apparent reference to questions asked by McAleer last week. They told the judge they had not filed the request for protection through the standard courthouse filing system because they did not want the publicity it would attract. They added that Planned Parenthood&#8217;s security team were retired police officers who were armed and could not enter the courthouse.
Daleiden’s lawyers said they were objecting to the request because it could give the jury the impression that Planned Parenthood had incurred extra security issues in a trial where they were denying that any security issues existed. The lawyer added that it was clear from the previous videos, where Dr. Leslie Drummond Hay and Sherrie Bonner were questioned by McAleer, that the journalist was &#8220;persistent as journalists often are,&#8221; but that the only security incident seemed to come from Planned Parenthood when the security officer appeared to mishandle the journalist.
The lawyer was referring to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-planned-parenthood-security-guard-pushes-journalist-police-report-filed">video</a> released Monday where the the organization’s Security Officer pushed Phelim McAleer while he was trying to question Planned Parenthood CEO Sherri Bonner.
Planned Parenthood is suing Dalieden for what has been limited to $600,000 by a judge for alleged fraud and trespass against Dalieden and his associates, claiming that he filmed the organization&#8217;s executives illegally by failing to get their permission and fraudulently set up a fake company for the sting operation. Daleiden maintains that he is protected under California laws allowing for such journalistic practices when used to prevent a felony assault on someone.

A Planned Parenthood CEO refused to answer questions Friday about her failure to reprimand a doctor who was secretly filmed boasting about &#8220;less crunchy&#8221; abortion techniques so as to acquire better body parts for sale.
Sheri Bonner, the CEO of Planned Parenthood Pasadena/San Gabriel Valley, refused to answer questions on Friday about evidence she gave in the organization&#8217;s lawsuit against journalist/activist David Daleiden, and his colleagues about undercover videos that showed senior executives negotiate over the sale of body parts from abortions.
The judge refused to let the &#8220;less crunchy&#8221; part of the video be shown in court and interrupted counsel when it was mentioned. Dr. Gatter said she had persuaded a fellow surgeon to employ the &#8220;less crunchy&#8221; technique so as to acquire a less damaged and therefore more valuable and sought-after body part. However, the jury did hear a defense lawyer start to talk about the quote and also heard that Dr. Gatter was &#8220;haggling&#8221; over the price of body parts retrieved from abortions.
At the time, Dr. Gatter was one of the most senior doctors and executives in Planned Parenthood. She was the medical director at Planned Parenthood Pasadena and the president of Planned Parenthood&#8217;s National Medical Directors Council.
It is illegal to profit from the sale of body parts in the United States. Leaving the court after giving evidence, Ms. Bonner refused to answer questions about whether it is legal to change abortion/medical techniques to make them &#8216;less crunchy&#8221; for profit and without the patient’s consent.

In court, Ms. Bonner said she had not reprimanded Dr. Gatter for the secretly recorded admissions because they were part of a normal &#8220;business conversation.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, because I looked very carefully at the video. I had conversations with our attorney. I saw nothing in that video that would indicate that there was any reason to reprimand. It was a business conversation that was happening between two parties,&#8221; she told the court.
The judge refused to allows Daleiden&#8217;s defense counsel to question her on the &#8220;less crunchy technique&#8221; quote and Ms. Bonner refused to answer questions on the matter from Daily Wire correspondent, Phelim McAleer, as she left the court (see video). Her security detail tried to block the camera and interview before driving her away.
Planned Parenthood is seeking damages from Daleiden and his co-defendants for damages they say were caused by the videos. The abortion giant is also seeking damages for breach of contract and fraud for misrepresentations made to infiltrate the organization and for breach of privacy for filming the executives during negotiations.
Planned Parenthood had originally sought $20 million in damages for fraud and trespass against Daleiden and his colleagues. However, Judge William Orrick reduced potential damages to $600,000.

A Planned Parenthood abortion doctor secretly filmed boasting that a company purchasing baby parts gave her &#8220;oohs and aahs&#8221; of appreciation because she was so skilled at removing intact limbs was less talkative outside a San Francisco courtroom today.
Dr. Leslie Drummond-Hay, who was the former head of Planned Parenthood Northern California and Mar Monte, said that she was once asked to provide four intact limbs for Stem Express, and was successful in doing so.
Drummond-Hay was giving evidence at a trial in San Francisco in which abortion giant Planned Parenthood is seeking damages from David Daleiden and his co-defendants for the harm they claim was caused by undercover video recordings. The videos in question show senior Planned Parenthood executives haggling over the prices for various fetal body parts.
Planned Parenthood is also seeking damages for breach of contract and fraud for misrepresentations made to infiltrate the organization, and for breach of privacy for filming the executives during negotiations.
Offering evidence in court, Dr. Drummond-Hay claimed that Daleiden, who was acting as an executive of a body part buying company, was the first to raise the issue of money.
However, under cross-examination, and after the video was played, she admitted that she had, in fact, approached the booth where Daleiden was set up at a National Abortion Federation conference in 2014. Dr. Drummond-Hay agreed that she started the conversation and was the first to mention money in relation to making body parts available.

A Planned Parenthood doctor has revealed that there is a strong demand for aborted babies’ livers and kidneys from organizations that harvest the bodies provided by the abortion giant.
Dr. Thomas Moran was giving evidence in a lawsuit the organization has filed against David Daleiden and his colleagues over undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood senior executives negotiate over the sale of body parts from abortions.
Moran, who is a medical director of Planned Parenthood Southwest, San Diego, told the court about how he ended up being secretly recorded while talking to Daleiden and other undercover researchers at a Planned Parenthood Conference in 2015.
Moran agreed that the undercover researchers did not seek him out; rather, Moran and his colleagues approached the booth where Daleiden and his associates were posing as legitimate tissue and organ buyers.
&#8220;They had an interesting flyer,&#8221; Moran told the court this week. &#8220;I was encouraged by the organizers to support the people who were supporting us.&#8221;
Moran agreed that he told Daleiden there was a demand for babies’ livers in the work he did for Planned Parenthood.
&#8220;I believe that was in reference to the tissue procurement company that was currently associated with Planned Parenthood,&#8221; he told the court, referencing ABR, an existing organ and tissue buying and selling company.
Moran agreed that &#8220;as a result of abortions that would be performed there, including abortions [he] did, they would sometimes place a demand for certain organs, including livers.&#8221;
&#8220;I said liver.  But whether it was actually — they wanted a liver or a kidney or a — I don&#8217;t know, intestines,&#8221; he said.
Moran agreed that he told Daleiden that he wanted the company to buy the rest of the baby parts, saying there are &#8220;barrels or buckets of them&#8221; that he &#8220;wanted to get rid of.&#8221;
Moran described the body parts as &#8220;medical waste.&#8221;
Planned Parenthood is suing Daleiden and his co-defendants for damage they say was caused by the videos. They are also seeking damages for breach of contract and fraud for misrepresentations made to infiltrate the organization, as well as for breach of privacy for secretly filming the executives during negotiations.
Planned Parenthood’s original attempt to extract $20 million in damages for fraud and trespass against Daleiden and his colleagues was reduced by Judge William Orrick to a maximum potential penalty of $600,000.
Daleiden and his colleagues deny liability. In situations where he broke the law by recording people without their permission, Daleiden argues that he was a journalist and that such recording is allowed under California law where it can be utilized to prevent a felony assault on a person.
Daleiden recorded Planned Parenthood executives stating they changed abortion techniques to ensure better and more profitable body parts were retrieved for sale. Daleiden also maintains that the recordings took place in public places, such as restaurants and hotels, where participants have no expectation of privacy.
Planned Parenthood is not suing Daleiden for defamation or slander and in their opening argument, Planned Parent lawyers did not state that the videos were inaccurate or exaggerated. Instead, the abortion provider’s attorneys claim the recordings were made illegally. The organization is also accusing Daleiden and his colleagues of fraud for setting up a fake company and identifications to start the business conversations with the Planned Parenthood executives.

Planned Parenthood Doctor Admits In Court: Strong Demand For Aborted Babies’ Livers, Kidneys, Intestines

An arson attack on a Planned Parenthood facility that was reported as a hate crime inspired by undercover videos was actually an incident of domestic violence, a senior executive of the organization has been forced to admit in a San Francisco court room.
Jenna Tosh, the CEO of Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, made the admission under cross-examination Thursday in a lawsuit the organization has taken against David Daleiden and his colleagues over undercover videos that showed senior executives negotiate over the sale of body parts from abortions.
Tosh told the trial in San Francisco that in the immediate three months after the videos were released there was a ten-fold increase in security incidents. Planned Parenthood is seeking damages from Daleiden and his co-defendants for damages they say were caused by the videos. They are also seeking damages for breach of contract and fraud for misrepresentations made to infiltrate the organization and for breach of privacy for filming the executives during negotiations.
However, under cross-examination, Tosh admitted that the arson, one of the alleged security incidents following the release of the videos, was not connected to the release and was as a result of domestic violence involving a violent partner of a staff member. At the time, the fire at a clinic in Modesto was widely reported as a hate attack. The left-wing outlet Think Progress said the arson attack was inspired by Daleiden’s “malicious video campaign.”
Tosh also admitted that police believed the same perpetrator was behind the smashing of a window at the premises. She added that the organization had received a letter from a concerned resident apologizing for the attack and offering prayers for the local Planned Parenthood. However, she admitted Planned Parenthood also counted the prayerful and apologetic letter as one of the “security incidents” that made up the alleged increase after the Daleiden video releases.
Tosh said that since learning the true nature of the attack, Planned Parenthood had made no attempt to correct its listing as a “hate crime.”
Tosh also stated that they counted critical tweets and phone calls as “security incidents” after the release of the video series.
Planned Parenthood had originally sought $20 million in damages for fraud and trespass against Daleiden and his colleagues. However, Judge William Orrick reduced potential damages to $600,000. Daleiden and his colleagues are denying liability. In situations where he broke the law regarding recording people without their permission Daleiden is claiming he was a journalist and that it is allowed under California law where it can be utilized to prevent a felony assault on a person. Daleiden recorded Planned Parenthood executives stating they changed abortion techniques to ensure better and more profitable body parts were retrieved for sale. He also claims that the recordings took place in public places such as restaurants and hotels where participants have no expectation of privacy.
Planned Parenthood is not suing Daleiden for defamation or slander, and in an opening argument, the Planned Parent lawyers did not state that the videos were inaccurate or exaggerated. They instead claimed they were filmed through illegal methods. The organization is also claiming Daleiden and his colleagues are guilty of fraud for setting up a fake company and identifications to start the business conversations with the Planned Parenthood executives.

Planned Parenthood &#8216;Hate Crime&#8217; Arson Attack Was Really Attack On Worker By Violent Partner

As The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/464961-planned-parenthood-announces-45-million-campaign-to-defeat-trump-flip">notes</a>, Planned Parenthood is planning to make a major investment in the 2020 election. The abortion conglomerate&#8217;s super PAC announced that it would be spending upwards of $45 million to unseat Republican politicians and replace them with Democrats.
More from The Hill:
<blockquote>The investment will fund a &#8220;large-scale&#8221; grassroots organization and canvass, digital, television, radio and mail programs.
&#8220;The stakes are higher than ever, and we&#8217;re coming out more powerfully than ever with the largest investment we&#8217;ve ever made,&#8221; said Kelley Robinson, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes, in an interview with The Hill. &#8230;
&#8220;We know we&#8217;re going to have a critical role mobilizing those folks to win back the Senate and expand the path to 270 to win back the presidency,&#8221; Robinson said.</blockquote>
Notice the phrasing. &#8220;Win back the presidency.&#8221; Planned Parenthood is directly conflating its interest with the interests of elected Democrats, as if the two groups are joined at the hip. Of course, they are joined at the hip. The Democratic Party has long been a prostitute of the abortion industry — doing its bidding and dancing to its tune, as any informed person knows. None of this is news, although it is still notable.
Recall Planned Parenthood&#8217;s panicked reaction a few months ago, when the Trump administration threatened to cut off access to a portion of its tax funding. An executive <a href="https://q13fox.com/2019/08/22/planned-parenthood-feeling-the-lack-of-federal-funding/">fretted</a> that there would be a &#8220;public health crisis&#8221; spurred on by &#8220;this denial of care.&#8221; Indeed, any time Planned Parenthood funding is scrutinized, we are always assured that every dime of the $500 million it annually appropriates from taxpayers is necessary. One of its websites <a href="https://www.istandwithpp.org/defund-defined/impact-defunding-planned-parenthood">warns</a> of a &#8220;national health disaster&#8221; if Planned Parenthood&#8217;s pipeline to the public treasury is cut off or is obstructed in any way. But they&#8217;ve still got nearly $50 million to spend on politics, apparently.
You could argue that Planned Parenthood&#8217;s PAC is distinct from Planned Parenthood itself, which is technically true — just as it is technically true that the half a billion it receives from Uncle Sam doesn&#8217;t directly fund abortions. But these distinctions obscure the fact that money is fungible. By financially propping up one aspect of its business, we better enable it to fund the other parts. The taxpayer money keeps the whole ship afloat, and the PAC is certainly on the ship — or is at least attached to it.
But this is all besides the point. The real point is that Planned Parenthood — as Kelley Robinson in the above quote made perfectly clear — is an expressly ideological organization. It wouldn&#8217;t have a PAC trying to &#8220;win back the presidency&#8221; if that were not the case. It is outrageous that taxpayers are being forced to contribute billions to an organization with a clear political agenda. And we haven&#8217;t even mentioned the fact that this organization also happens to slaughter 300,000 children every year.
The Left insists that organizations like the NRA are corrupting our politics and buying off politicians. Whether this is true or not (and I don&#8217;t think it is), at least Republicans aren&#8217;t appropriating hundreds of millions of dollars from our paychecks every year to put it directly into the NRA&#8217;s coffers — so that the money can eventually end up in their own coffers. One can only imagine the reaction from the Left if such a system were ever instated. Well, they simply wouldn&#8217;t allow it. And yet Republicans have allowed the Democrats to launder campaign funds through Planned Parenthood for decades. That is maybe the biggest outrage of all.

Planned Parenthood executive-turned-pro-life advocate Abby Johnson announced the launch of nonprofit ProLove Ministries on Wednesday. 
Johnson left Planned Parenthood in 2009 and exposed suspect practices at the lucrative abortion giant, such as alleged abortion quotas and “coaching” staffers on how to overcome religiously-based hesitation from young women contemplating abortion. 
The outspoken advocate for life detailed her journey in a memoir titled “Unplanned,” which later became a success at the box office. She also started a ministry for abortion workers walking away from the industry called “And Then There Were None” (ATTWN). 
ProLove Ministries is set up as a “sister organization” to ATTWN, a press release announcing the launch said.
“While the pro-life movement is vast in its efforts to make abortion unthinkable, blind spots exist where segments of the population are underserved or not served at all,” the press release reads. 
ProLove Ministries seeks to fill in those gaps, providing &#8220;manpower and expert assistance on special projects,” assisting with new ministry start-ups, and helping established ministries “find new life.”
“I founded And Then There Were None after realizing former abortion workers who left their jobs had nowhere to turn to for help for any kind of assistance in healing or finding a new job,” Johnson said in a statement sent to The Daily Wire on Wednesday. “The pro-life position is not one-dimensional and we can’t be either if we claim to be pro-life. We can’t look the other way when suffering is so apparent in our world. ProLove Ministries will be a way to help those who are in need of crisis intervention and do it with love.”
“My team has received hundreds of emails and messages over the past several years asking for our assistance in helping ministries get off the ground or bring new ideas to existing ministries to help them accomplish their goals. Through ProLove Ministries, we’ll be able to do that,” Johnson noted. 
The nonprofit’s “mission,” the press release emphasizes, “is to connect resources to help identify blind spots in the pro-life movement and unite passion and vision to provide comprehensive strategies that work to promote the value of all life, regardless of stage of development, race, age, gender, or ability.”
During an interview with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abby-johnson-tells-daily-wire-about-her-journey-frank-camp">The Daily Wire</a> last summer, Johnson detailed her last year at Planned Parenthood and the series of events that triggered her to leave: 
<blockquote>There were several reasons (why I left). Things were really, I don’t know, kind of turning upside down for me in 2009. That year out of Houston, my affiliate was building the largest abortion facility in the Western Hemisphere, which is now currently open. And the plan was to perform abortions through six months of pregnancy, which was problematic for me because I had always believed that abortion past the point of viability or close to the point of viability is wrong. That was one thing that was problematic.
That summer, we ran out of funding, which was common every summer, and we were basically told that we were not to give any discounts to patients who might have, you know, qualified for funding, but we were out of it. I remember bringing that up at a meeting with my boss. I said something like, “We’re a non-profit and we’re a charitable organization, we should be trying to help these women with annual exams or birth control,” and I remember her looking at me and saying, “Abby, being non-profit is a tax status, not a business status.” And that just really went against everything I thought we were doing there.
Then in August of that year, I was instructed to double our abortion quota – the certain number of abortions that we had to sell to women who came into our clinic. And then ultimately, I ended up leaving in October after witnessing a live, ultrasound-guided abortion procedure in which I saw a 13-week-old baby in the womb fight and struggle for his life against the abortion instruments. I knew then that there was humanity in the womb, and that abortion took the life of this human being, and I knew that I was on the wrong side of this debate.
So I decided then that I was going to leave and get another job. When I decided to leave, I went to a local pro-life group in town and asked them if they could possibly help me find another job with their contacts. When Planned Parenthood found out that I had gone to this pro-life group, they actually sued me and tried to get a permanent gag order against me so that I wouldn’t be able to talk about what I had seen at the clinic and things that I knew. The lawsuit failed, obviously, and I’ve been speaking out ever since, and just sharing my experiences.</blockquote>

Unplanned&#8217;s Abby Johnson Announces New Pro-Life Venture

Former Planned Parenthood executive-turned-whistleblower Abby Johnson said Monday that recently-fired Planned Parenthood president Dr. Leana Wen would be welcomed to the pro-life side with &#8220;open arms.&#8221;
Wen was reportedly canned by the abortion organization for refusing to use so-called &#8220;transgender inclusive&#8221; language and pushing against Planned Parenthood&#8217;s emphasis on abortion procedures rather than women&#8217;s health. Since Wen&#8217;s abrupt firing in July, the doctor has expressed discontent with her former employer. Over the weekend, for example, Wen, who is currently pregnant, claimed Planned Parenthood was holding her continued healthcare benefits until she agrees to sign a blanket non-disclosure agreement, as reported by The Daily Wire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/51834/former-planned-parenthood-president-accuses-emily-zanotti">Emily Zanotti</a>.
&#8220;Planned Parenthood, whose very public rhetoric claims to trust and support women, is once again showing their true loyalties in how they are very publicly mistreating their former president, Dr. Wen,&#8221; Johnson said in a statement provided to The Daily Wire. &#8220;But this is what Planned Parenthood does — they break things like contracts, the trust of patients, agreements, and motherhood.&#8221;
&#8220;They don&#8217;t value their employees because they don&#8217;t value people, especially pregnant women, who they see more as dollar signs than human beings,&#8221; the former Planned Parenthood &#8220;employee of the year&#8221; continued.
&#8220;Dr. Wen has been horribly betrayed by Planned Parenthood. It&#8217;s heartbreaking to watch her former employer throw her under the bus because she dared to question their commitment to actual healthcare,&#8221; Johnson said.
The &#8220;Unplanned&#8221; author offered Dr. Wen support, telling the former president directly that she has an &#8220;ally&#8221; in her.
&#8220;Dr. Wen doesn&#8217;t need to go through this ordeal alone,&#8221; said Johnson. &#8220;I sincerely hope she knows she has an ally in me, someone who went through a similar situation and who has not only excellent attorneys but also a vast network of support through And Then There Were None who would welcome Dr. Wen with open arms.&#8221;
Johnson is the founder of <a href="http://www.abbyjohnson.org/abbyjohnson/and-then-there-were-none">And Then There Were None</a>, which offers support to former abortion workers who turn from the brutal business.
&#8220;They want to silence my voice as a public health expert,&#8221; Dr. Wen told <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/health/bs-hs-leana-wen-20190915-gt2pydzdsnfefbecakh5pzblly-story.html">The Baltimore Sun</a> about Planned Parenthood. &#8220;I simply will not sign away my right to speak my mind. I won&#8217;t compromise my integrity.&#8221;
&#8220;I’m a doctor. I have to be able to speak to my patients about reproductive health care. I&#8217;m a professor. I have to be able to speak to my students about reproductive health care,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I cannot be gagged.&#8221;
As noted by Zanotti, Wen has said in the past that she believes she was fired from Planned Parenthood for refusing to push abortion over women&#8217;s health. &#8220;I wanted to emphasize total women&#8217;s health,&#8221; Wen said. &#8220;They wanted to double down on abortion rights.&#8221;
On Saturday, Dr. Wen posted a statement to Twitter regarding Planned Parenthood&#8217;s alleged action against her.
&#8220;I am very disappointed that my confidential letter to [Planned Parenthood] Board is leaked to [The New York Times],&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;There should be no dispute regarding the terms of my employment contract. I will not be forced to sign a gag clause and compromise my integrity.&#8221;

READ IT: Abby Johnson Reaches Out To Fired Planned Parenthood President Leana Wen: We’d ‘Welcome’ You ‘With Open Arms’

The recently fired president of Planned Parenthood, Leana Wen, accused the nation&#8217;s single largest abortion provider of hypocrisy and lack of care for women&#8217;s health in an angry letter to the group&#8217;s board of directors, made public over the weekend.
Planned Parenthood&#8217;s board of directors fired Wen in July. The group claimed that Wen and the board disagreed about her management style, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/leana-wen-exposes-planned-parenthoods-hypocrisy">according to The Washington Examiner</a>, but Wen says that the organization forced her out because she refused to put the political fight for abortion rights front and center, making it a higher priority than Planned Parenthood&#8217;s overall commitment to women&#8217;s health care.
At the time, the news of Wen&#8217;s departure made headlines, particularly in pro-life circles, because it revealed Planned Parenthood&#8217;s true agenda: expanding and promoting the practice of abortion at all costs. In Wen&#8217;s own words from her letter to the board published this weekend, Planned Parenthood&#8217;s most vocal activists “prefer a stridently political, abortion-first philosophy,&#8221; that ultimately devalues women&#8217;s lives.
In her letter, Wen makes clear exactly what led to her departure less than a year after taking the reins from longtime Planned Parenthood matriarch, Cecile Richards: &#8220;I wanted to emphasize total women’s health. They wanted to double down on abortion rights.&#8221;
It is now clear that, since her firing, Wen has been engaged in a dispute with Planned Parenthood&#8217;s top brass over her public statements about the organization, and, it seems, they&#8217;d prefer her to keep quiet about how Planned Parenthood conducts its business internally.
In her letter, Wen, who is currently pregnant, accuses Planned Parenthood of holding her continued healthcare benefits hostage to her signing a blanket non-disclosure agreement — literally imperiling the health and well-being of a pregnant woman — and charges the group with hypocrisy for &#8220;gagging&#8221; her even as the Trump administration imposes its own global gag rule on abortion providers.
“It is deeply hypocritical [that Planned Parenthood] would attempt to enforce a gag order on its immediate past President/CEO while fighting the Trump administration’s gag rule on Title X providers,” Wen wrote, referring directly to a recent Planned Parenthood decision to withdraw from taking Federal Title X funds over the Trump administration&#8217;s decision to forbid those who receive federal funds from actively promoting abortion.
<a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/health/bs-hs-leana-wen-20190915-gt2pydzdsnfefbecakh5pzblly-story.html">In an interview with the Baltimore Sun</a>, Wen said she regrets that her falling out with Planned Parenthood has become public, but says she&#8217;s being targeted as a reproductive healthcare provider and as a woman speaking out for other women.
“They want to silence my voice as a public health expert,&#8221; she said. “I simply will not sign away my right to speak my mind. I won’t compromise my integrity.”
“I’m a doctor. I have to be able to speak to my patients about reproductive health care. I’m a professor. I have to be able to speak to my students about reproductive health care,” Wen added. “I cannot be gagged.”
Through their attorney, Planned Parenthood&#8217;s board of directors claimed to the Sun that they were still in negotiations with Wen over her ongoing compensation and that they&#8217;d offered her a severance package in line with what Planned Parenthood typically provides. Wen countered by saying that her contract specified specific treatment if she were to be fired and that Planned Parenthood&#8217;s severance package runs counter to the already agreed-upon salary and benefits, and blames Planned Parenthood for preferring the NDA over honoring their agreement.

Former Planned Parenthood President Accuses Organization Of Hypocrisy, Intimidation

Saturday was the seventh annual &#8220;Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children.&#8221; Memorial services were held across the country at dozens of burial sites and other locations.
The <a href="http://abortionmemorials.com/">official website</a> for the event, which was co-organized by Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life, and the Pro-Life Action League, states in part:
<blockquote>Tens of thousands of these children have been retrieved and buried at gravesites across our country. The stories of how they were killed, how they were found, and how they were buried, along with the pictures and videos that document those events, are powerful tools to awaken the consciences of our fellow citizens. But while a funeral and burial for an aborted baby may be a relatively rare event, the opportunity to visit the burial places and recall how those children got there does not have to be rare — in fact, it shouldn&#8217;t be.</blockquote>
Those delivering the services, as well as some in attendance, shared images and videos on social media:

The Daily Wire spoke with Eric Scheidler, the executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, to better understand the purpose of the event.
<blockquote>DW: Why is this annual event important?
SCHEIDLER: Well, I think we&#8217;re seeing why it&#8217;s important today with this incredible story that has just broken out about Ulrich Klopfer and the 2,246 aborted baby remains that were found in his home. Our society demonizes the unborn child; we treat the unborn child like an enemy. The word &#8220;fetus&#8221; has become a slur. It’s just the Latin word for &#8220;little one,&#8221; and yet it&#8217;s become a slur. Our society has turned its back on these children, especially those who are most vulnerable – the poor, the minorities, those who are conceived to young mothers, and an event like this where we go to the gravesites reminds us that lives are cut out by abortion. You visit the graves and you see that every other tombstone in the cemetery has a date of death and a date of birth. These graves don&#8217;t have a date of birth because these babies were killed before they were born.
There&#8217;s nothing like standing a few feet away from the grave of 2,033 aborted children who are buried at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, standing above that grave and thinking: these children were aborted in 1986, 1987, 1988; they would be in their 30s today; they would have children of their own maybe. Whole generations have been snuffed out by abortion, so that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s critical for us to go out and mourn for these children to model for our society the attitude that we ought to have toward the unborn child.
DW: What do you hope happens in the near future, either as a result of this event, or in general in the pro-life movement?
SCHEIDLER: Very specifically, I would like to see more states pass laws like that in Indiana, the one that they&#8217;re fighting now to keep in Texas, that require a humane burial of the remains of aborted children. Of course we want to save their lives; we want to stop them from being killed; but if our society&#8217;s gonna tolerate their killing, we should at least be properly burying them and not denying their humanity.
I would like to see more states passing this type of legislation for two reasons. First, it’s our duty and our responsibility to bury the dead. Even when we execute a criminal, when the state decides we&#8217;re gonna execute somebody, they still bury the body. Just because the government sanctions a killing, it doesn&#8217;t mean that the victim loses their humanity. So they&#8217;ve decided that human beings in the womb can be killed – it&#8217;s a horrible injustice – but they don&#8217;t stop being human beings just because of our unjust laws. We should still provide a humane burial.
Secondly, doing so reminds the rest of our society what abortion really is. We’ve got a society now, thanks in large part to the rhetoric from politicians, that&#8217;s willing to pretend that these are not human beings, as if we somehow don&#8217;t know when life begins. We’ve known for over a hundred years exactly how life begins; we&#8217;ve seen it microscopically; we know that when the sperm and the ovum form a unique living organism, that is a human being at its very earliest stages of life. So, it&#8217;s a lesson to our society that these are human beings.
Third, anything we can do to add to the costs of abortion will help save lives. It’s more expensive for the abortion industry to properly bury these children, just like it&#8217;s more expensive for them to have health and safety standards. It’s more expensive for them to have physicians doing abortions instead of somebody they trained yesterday, which they&#8217;ve done – we&#8217;ve seen this in the testimony from former abortion staff members that have come over to the pro-life side. So, if this measure helps to make abortion a little harder to get, a little more expensive, a little more burdensome to the abortion industry, so much the better.
Ultimately, what we&#8217;re trying to do here with this day of remembrance is model to the whole society how we need to address the reality of the past several decades of legal abortion in our country. We all need to be mourning for these children – not just the mothers and fathers who are responsible for those abortions; not just the abortionists; not just the state legislatures who have passed the laws that allowed abortion, or the Supreme Court justices that swept away laws protecting those children, but the whole society. We’re all connected to abortion in one way or another; we&#8217;re all responsible for it.
When you think about it, so many of the things we do as a pro-life movement, like the March for Life, you know, those are gonna go away. When abortion is finally cast out of our society, whether it&#8217;s in a few years or whether it&#8217;s in 500 years, the March for Life, and the sidewalk counseling outside abortion facilities, the protests, all of that&#8217;s gonna come to an end someday, but the bodies will still be buried in the ground, and the hearts will still be broken, and the generations will still be cut off, and we will continue to mourn for these children. So, we are modeling for our society what the future looks like for America mourning for the incredible injustice that we tolerated in abortion.</blockquote>
The Daily Wire would like to thank Eric Scheidler for speaking with us about such an important issue. Since the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973, more than <a href="https://www.nrlc.org/uploads/communications/stateofabortion2018.pdf">60 million</a> preborn have been aborted in the United States.

National ‘Day Of Remembrance For Aborted Children’ Memorials Held Across The Country

During the preliminary hearing this week in the criminal case against undercover journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, a &#8220;semi-retired&#8221; Planned Parenthood executive admitted that the abortion business had no ban on altering abortion procedures in order to better harvest baby body parts that would later be sold, allegedly for a profit.
According to reporting from Lianne Laurence at <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/abortion-director-at-daleiden-hearing-we-had-no-ban-on-changing-technique-to-harvest-better-baby-body-parts">LifeSiteNews</a>, &#8220;Doe 10,&#8221; the former medical director at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles until 2013, &#8220;admitted under questioning Wednesday by Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society and lawyer for Daleiden, that the Planned Parenthood affiliates she worked in had no rule against changing the abortion procedure &#8216;technique&#8217; in order to obtain better baby body parts.&#8221;
As noted by Laurence, &#8220;federal consent rules stipulate a doctor cannot change the method of a medical procedure without a patient&#8217;s consent.&#8221;
&#8220;&#8216;Doe 10&#8217; testified that Planned Parenthood abortionists &#8216;would never change the method&#8217; but admitted Planned Parenthood began making the distinction between &#8216;technique&#8217; and &#8216;method&#8217; after the [Center for Medical Progress] undercover videos were released,” the report noted.
&#8220;We had to grapple with fallout from videos,&#8221; the abortion executive, who is not allowed to be named, admitted to the court. &#8220;We had to be more specific.&#8221;
Mr. Breen, who is representing Daleiden, emphasized to the outlet that &#8220;Doe 10&#8221; was essentially playing semantics. &#8220;There is no distinction between &#8216;method&#8217; and &#8216;technique&#8217; in the law, and there is no distinction between method and technique in medical ethics,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;And so this artificial distinction that Planned Parenthood abortion doctors created so that they could get better fetal tissue is absolutely illegal and unethical and our witnesses, when we get to put on our case for the defense, they’re going to talk about that,&#8221; Breen noted.
The attorney claimed that changing the abortion procedure to better harvest aborted babies&#8217; body parts likely puts a woman at greater risk. &#8220;We&#8217;re getting testimony that switching the fetus position from the normal position of vertex to breech increases dilation so you can get better fetal tissue, well, what does increasing dilation also do, it causes harm or can cause harm to a woman’s cervix which then can cause her to be unable to carry a pregnancy down the road,&#8221; he explained.
Daleiden and Merritt, journalists for the Center for Medical Progress facing up to ten years behind bars, were charged with 15 felonies in March of 2017 for their shocking undercover videos about the abortion industry. &#8220;Doe 10&#8221; is featured in their work, which has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42352/fifth-circuit-panel-center-medical-progress-josh-hammer">corroborated as undoctored by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit</a>, allegedly haggling over prices of fetal remains while sipping wine and joking about wanting a &#8220;Lamborghini.&#8221; She also spoke about adjusting abortion procedure technique to make it less &#8220;crunchy,&#8221; therefore keeping baby body parts better intact.
As noted by the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/planned-parenthood-was-just-forced-to-admit-in-court-to-harvesting-aborted-fetal-parts">Washington Examiner</a> earlier in the week, &#8220;Doe 7&#8221; &#8220;admitted&#8221; during the preliminary hearing &#8220;to procuring fetal tissue from the abortions she performed at Planned Parenthood,&#8221; as well as &#8220;being familiar&#8221; with the embattled StemExpress.
&#8220;She testified that she was aware of cases where money had been exchanged as part of such transactions,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;It is worth noting that StemExpress and Planned Parenthood Northern California are both under ongoing FBI and U.S. Department of Justice investigation for selling fetal organs and tissue illegally.&#8221;

Planned Parenthood Exec Makes Major Admission About Baby Body Part Harvesting

Center for Medical Progress

Department of Justice

Judiciary

On Wednesday, a gag order from California Attorney General Xavier Becerra that would have hindered pro-life reporting on the case against undercover journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt was denied by Judge Christopher Hite.
According to <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-judge-denies-california-ag-request-for-gag-order-to-restrict-pro-life-reporting-on-daleiden-hearing">LifeSiteNews</a>, the order &#8220;muzzled&#8221; the journalists&#8217; lawyers from &#8220;referencing the aborted-baby body-parts traffickers in &#8216;public comments&#8217; to media.&#8221;
The order reportedly claimed an incident of road rage some 55 miles from the courthouse was caused by a LifeSiteNews report, though the report was published after the incident, according to Merritt&#8217;s lead attorney, Horatio Mihet of Liberty Counsel.
&#8220;[Becerra] attempted to relate a purported incident of road rage that one of the witnesses claims that she encountered fifty-five miles away from the courthouse,&#8221; Mihet claimed. &#8220;Without any evidence whatsoever, they tried to allege that it was inspired by a LifeSiteNews article that was published the next evening after the incident.&#8221;
&#8220;This was a preposterous and ludicrous motion,&#8221; the attorney said, noting that the order &#8220;was at least the fourth attempt in as many court days to silence the defendants.&#8221;
&#8220;Fortunately this morning the court denied this motion as well and the defendants and counsel remain free to discuss publicly outside the courtroom the testimony that takes place inside the courtroom,&#8221; Mr. Mihet added.
According to the pro-life outlet, the order asked the presiding judge to mandate defendants &#8220;not reference the victims or any matter which may be taken to identify them or their livelihood in any matter. We request an order to protect the safety of the Does witnesses.&#8221; It further asked the court to &#8220;exercise its discretion to limit the statements the parties may make in public in regards to the witness testimony until after the conclusion of the preliminary hearing.&#8221;
Daleiden and Merritt, undercover journalists for the Center for Medical Progress, were hit with a stunning 15 felony charges in March of 2017 for their undercover work relating to the abortion industry. The undercover videos, which have been confirmed to be undoctored, allegedly showcased abortion providers, including from Planned Parenthood affiliates, harvesting and profiting off of baby body parts, as previously covered by The Daily Wire. In one video, a Planned Parenthood executive notably haggles over prices of fetal remains while sipping wine and joking about wanting a Lamborghini. Another portion of shocking video allegedly reveals that abortion techniques are altered in a way to harvest organs better that will later be sold.
The journalists have had an uphill battle, fighting bias every turn. In June, for example, a Ninth Circuit panel declined to consider an appeal from Daleiden, forcing him to pay out a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48301/journalist-who-exposed-planned-parenthood-ordered-amanda-prestigiacomo">$195,000 penalty</a> to his pro-abortion opponents. Daleiden was hit with the penalty for using video footage which allegedly violated a dubious gag order.
The felony charges against Daleiden and Merritt are so extraordinary that even the left-wing <a href="https://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-planned-parenthood-charges-20170330-story.html">Los Angeles Times</a> admitted it was a &#8220;disturbing&#8221; act of &#8220;overreach.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s disturbingly aggressive for Becerra to apply this criminal statute to people who were trying to influence a contested issue of public policy, regardless of how sound or popular that policy may be,&#8221; the editorial said. &#8220;Planned Parenthood and biomedical company StemExpress, which was also featured in the videos, have another remedy for the harm that was done to them: They can sue Daleiden and Merritt for damages. The state doesn&#8217;t need to threaten the pair with prison time.&#8221;

Pro-Lifers Snag Small Victory In Case Against Journalists Who Exposed Planned Parenthood

The irony of Planned Parenthood posting a message like this wasn&#8217;t lost on commenters:
&#8220;Exactly. If only they&#8217;d extend this consideration to unborn babies. Their small size does not make them less human. Planned Parenthood is a hypocritical organization.&#8221; – @pkulynych
&#8220;So if your the size of, oh I don&#8217;t know, a fetus. Does this still apply?&#8221; – @designer_ted
&#8220;Correct. A person&#8217;s a person no matter how small. Were you hacked?&#8221; – @lau.ra.mis

<blockquote>You’re right, @plannedparenthood &#8211; our size does not determine our humanity. It’s time to put an end to your killing of over 900 innocent children each day. Our world deserves better.</blockquote>
The Daily Wire reached out to Live Action Founder Lila Rose to discuss Planned Parenthood&#8217;s ironic post:
<blockquote>DW: What was your reaction when you saw the Instagram post?
ROSE: I thought that even a broken clock is right twice a day. Planned Parenthood is correct that the size of our body does not determine our value, and that’s particularly true for our preborn brothers and sisters in the womb.
DW: Do you think that Planned Parenthood is aware of the irony of their post?
ROSE: I don’t think so. I think that they have so dehumanized a whole group of people and they’re so obsessed with their abortion ideology that they are out of touch with most people in our country, and how ridiculous some of their own statements sound.
DW: What would you say to Planned Parenthood in response to this?
ROSE: They should keep telling people that, and they should be inclusive, and include all human beings in that claim.</blockquote>
The irony of Planned Parenthood sending out a message in which they state that &#8220;the size of your body doesn&#8217;t define your worth&#8221; is that a major portion of their business model is based on defining an human being&#8217;s moral value based on their size.
Despite the scientifically-established fact that upon conception, a genetically distinct human being is created that is wholly unique from either of its progenitors, many in the pro-choice community believe that until a fetus is &#8220;viable,&#8221; it is perfectly acceptable to terminate it. There is even a sub-community that believes in a moral right to abortion up until the moment of birth.
Author Sophie Lewis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48353/watch-author-calls-abortion-form-killing-we-need-frank-camp">argues</a> that a fetus is inflicting &#8220;violence&#8221; on someone who &#8220;doesn&#8217;t want to do gestational work,&#8221; and that abortion is a &#8220;form of killing&#8221; that is defensible:
<blockquote>We have very little to lose at the moment when it comes to abortion, and I’m interested in winning radically. I wonder if we could think about defending abortion as a right to stop doing gestational work. Abortion is, in my opinion, and I recognize how controversial this is, a form of killing. It is a form of killing that we need to be able to defend. I am not interested in where a human life starts to exist. I see the forms of making and unmaking each other as continuous processes.</blockquote>
This size-based argument is indelibly linked to the more frequently cited &#8220;viability&#8221; argument. A human being is terminable until it reaches a designated size, called &#8220;viability,&#8221; at which point it can survive outside the mother’s uterus.
Of course, &#8220;viability&#8221; is constantly changing with advances in medical technology. Although a birth at approximately 24 weeks gestation is considered by many the earliest stage at which a premature infant can realistically survive, there have been cases in which <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/11/14/mom-delivers-earliest-premature-baby-ever-and-chooses-resuscitate-miracle-aughter-now-healthy-toddle/861386001/">younger infants</a> have persevered.
The ever-changing viability window raises serious question for the pro-choice community.
In February, during a debate with &#8220;Christian&#8221; abortion doctor Willie Parker, UNCW criminology professor Mike Adams, PhD, asked the audience to join him in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/44172/watch-professor-rebuts-three-abortion-arguments-frank-camp">thought experiment</a> about &#8220;viability,&#8221; and described how such a standard is illogical:
<blockquote>Imagine that a woman is pregnant in New York City and she has a viable fetus. She is 22 weeks pregnant. If she gets on a plane and she flies to Bangladesh – guess what? That human fetus is no longer viable because viability in Bangladesh doesn&#8217;t occur until about 35 weeks. So let&#8217;s just assume she&#8217;s hanging out in Bangladesh, she doesn&#8217;t like it very much, so she decides that she&#8217;s going to come back to New York City. Are we actually going to suggest that she had a person there in her uterus in New York City, a non-person in Bangladesh, who, when returning the United States of America, became a person for the second time? It is absolutely absurd&#8230;</blockquote>
According to a May 2019 <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx">Gallup poll</a>, support for abortion at any time during pregnancy is down from previous years.
The organization asked: &#8220;Do you think abortions should be legal under any circumstances, legal only under certain circumstances or illegal in all circumstances?&#8221;
25% of respondents said that abortion should be &#8220;legal under any&#8221; circumstances. This is down 4% from 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015, when 29% said the same. 53% said that abortion should be &#8220;legal only under certain&#8221; circumstances, up from 50%. Lastly, 21% of respondents said that abortion should be &#8220;illegal in all&#8221; circumstances, up from 18% the previous two years.
When asked if abortion is &#8220;morally wrong&#8221; or &#8220;morally acceptable,&#8221; 50% said it&#8217;s wrong (up from 48% in 2018), while 42% said it’s acceptable (down from 43% in 2018).
Planned Parenthood performed <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/planned-parenthood-reports-performing-more-abortions-332-757-in-latest-year​">332,757 abortions</a> in the 2017/2018 fiscal year.

Planned Parenthood Claims: ‘The Size Of Your Body Doesn’t Define Your Worth’

On Saturday, anti-abortion organization Live Action released a video in which Founder Lila Rose interviews Sue Thayer, a former Planned Parenthood manager.
Thayer describes in graphic detail the process by which abortion clinic workers would attempt to put together all the pieces of the terminated fetus in order to make sure everything had been removed from the post-abortive woman&#8217;s uterus:
<blockquote>ROSE: You described when you were first being trained at Planned Parenthood, they sent you to an actual abortion room to witness the procedure. Can you tell us about that experience?
THAYER: Well, when you first start out, they have the trainees stand by the door, and I did that for the first two or three procedures. I finally said, &#8220;Why does that happen?&#8221; And she said, &#8220;Well, usually when somebody comes in for the first time, they pass out,&#8221; and I didn&#8217;t pass out.
So, after &#8230; a few were done, they let me start moving closer so I could get to the foot of the bed and be able to see what was happening, but the whole procedure only takes just three or four minutes, and what they call the &#8220;contents of uterus&#8221; or &#8220;products of conception&#8221; are emptied into this gallon jar, and they turn it off and take this suction thing off the gallon jar and set it in the pass-through and it goes into the dirty lab.
So, then you go around the corner and into the dirty lab, take the jar out, put it in this big, like a Rubbermaid colander, and rinse it with this big hose. Then you dump it in this little glass jar and put it on this little shelf that has this bright light, and you bring the light over it, and you kind of piece it back together and try to see if you got all the parts.
I remember standing there looking at that and I said, &#8220;Why are there are three arms?&#8221; &#8230; the gal training me said [that] it was twins. And I said, you know, &#8220;Do you tell the mom that she had twins?&#8221; and she says, &#8220;No, it usually just upsets them.&#8221;
Then &#8230; there&#8217;s this big white porcelain sink, and they would dump it in there, rinse it, put the bowl back to use next time, and hit the plunger and it would flush kind of like the toilet, and I just remember standing there thinking all those babies are in the Des Moines sewer system. In later time that I would be there, they were putting those babies in little red bags with a twist tie, and then they [would] fling them in the freezer, and I remember kind of thinking, &#8220;I wonder what they do with those,&#8221; because I thought if there&#8217;s a buck to be made, they will sell those.</blockquote>
<div class="embed"><iframe width="476" height="476" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
Thayer&#8217;s description sounds very similar to what&#8217;s shown in the 2006 documentary feature &#8220;Lake of Fire.&#8221;
In one <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/43277/watch-what-20-week-abortion-really-looks-frank-camp">scene from the film</a>, a now-retired abortion doctor speaks to the camera as he inspects various pieces of a dismembered 20-week-old fetus that have been dumped into a sifting tray of sorts. Legs, feet, arms, and hands can be seen in the tray. At one point, the doctor picks up a piece of the head, and one of the fetus&#8217; eyes is simply hanging out of its socket.
This is abortion.

WATCH: Former Planned Parenthood Manager Describes Horrific Abortion Procedure

Abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood is apparently in such dire straits that the entertainment magazine Variety has decided to forgo its annual Emmy Awards party and donate the funds to the &#8220;reproductive rights&#8221; organization.
&#8220;Variety has decided to make a donation to <a href="https://variety.com/t/planned-parenthood/" data-tag="planned-parenthood">Planned Parenthood</a> in lieu of hosting this year’s annual Emmy Awards nominees party in partnership with Women In Film,&#8221; Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/variety-emmy-party-planned-parenthood-1203308509/#article-comments">announced</a> in an article on Wednesday.
Variety editor-in-chief Claudia Eller and chief revenue officer Michelle Sobrino-Stearns said the magazine proudly stands with the abortion giant as they fight for women&#8217;s rights in the entertainment industry.
&#8220;Variety continues to advocate for women&#8217;s rights, including issues of healthcare and gender disparity in the entertainment industry, and we stand with Planned Parenthood and our longstanding partnership with <a href="https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/women-in-film-gala-issa-rae-elizabeth-debicki-cathy-shulman-gender-parity-1203242500/" data-tag="women-in-film">Women In Film</a>,&#8221; the pair said in a statement.
Variety based its decision on Planned Parenthood&#8217;s recent announcement that it will no longer accept the annual $60 million in Title X funding due to the Trump administration&#8217;s recent order for it to separate abortion services with legitimate healthcare. <a href="https://www.lifenews.com/2019/08/19/trump-defunds-planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-will-lose-60-million-in-taxpayer-dollars/">LifeNews</a> provided further context:
<blockquote>The Planned Parenthood abortion business announced today it will officially withdraw from the Title X program — costing it $60 million in taxpayer funds because it refuses to follow a new Trump administration rule that requires it to segment out its abortion business from legitimate health care if it wants federal funding under the program.
Because the abortion giant is withdrawing from Title X, the $60 million in taxpayer dollars it received annually can be redistributed to groups that engage in legitimate women’s health care.
Title X funds are supposed to be used to help low-income women and men receive birth control, cancer screenings and other health care services. While the tax money cannot be used to pay for abortions, it indirectly funds Planned Parenthood’s vast abortion business.</blockquote>
Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson denounced the Trump administration&#8217;s Title X rule as &#8220;unethical and dangerous&#8221; while vowing to fight it in court.
&#8220;Today, we are announcing that due to an unethical and dangerous gag rule, the Trump administration has forced Planned Parenthood grantees out of Title X—the nation&#8217;s program for affordable birth control and reproductive health care,&#8221; said Johnson.
&#8220;The Trump administration would have you believe that this gag rule will make no difference in people&#8217;s lives — but we know it will,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;The Trump administration would have you believe that places like Obria — a network of anti-abortion counseling centers which received a $1.7 million Title X grant this year — can provide the same level of care as Planned Parenthood health centers. But do you know what Obria does not provide? Contraception. This means patients who go to Obria seeking birth control will not be able to access methods like the pill, an IUD, and emergency contraception.&#8221;
In response to Variety forgoing its annual Emmy party in service of Planned Parenthood, Caren Spruch, director of arts and entertainment engagement at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, praised the magazine for its &#8220;unwavering support.&#8221;
&#8220;We are so grateful to <a href="https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/variety-emmy-party-planned-parenthood-1203308509/" data-tag="variety">Variety</a> for its unwavering support of Planned Parenthood and commitment to sexual and reproductive health and rights,&#8221; said Spruch.
