The crimes of Planned Parenthood, which includes selling body parts of slaughtered babies, was exposed by two individuals who secretly filmed Planned Parenthood personnel. The complicit media and leftist judicial accomplices recognize truth as being a threat to their horrifying agenda, and so the pro-life activists who did the filming have been charged with 15 felonies. The reasoning? ”They invaded the privacy of medical providers by filming without consent.”
If the tables were turned, and the secret undercover filming had supported a liberal left narrative, they would not be guilty of felonies, but be showered with praise for their courageousness.
As we saw with the judicial attacks against Trump's perfectly constitutional executive orders designed to enforce existing immigration law, the liberal left judges in this country could care less about the law, and rule based on their political bias. The Framers of the U.S. Constitution would be ashamed by these judicial oligarchs.
The filmmakers are David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress. The felony charges have been applied eight months after similar charges were dropped in Texas.
State Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a liberal left Democrat and former congress-critter who is also determined to protect the leftist agenda, even if it means ignoring the law and making politically biased decisions to force any dissent into silence, said in a statement that the State of California “will not tolerate the criminal recording of conversations.”
Once again, I am willing to bet money that if the filmmakers had privately recorded persons in order to promote a leftist narrative, there would be no charges against them.
The allegations are that the filmmakers video recorded 14 people without their permission between October 2013 and July 2015 in Los Angeles, San Francisco and El Dorado counties. One felony count was filed for each person filmed when it came to the first 14 charges. The 15th felony charge was for criminal conspiracy to invade privacy.
“The public knows the real criminals are Planned Parenthood and their business partners,” Daleiden said of the charges.
The filmed conversations in question show officials from Planned Parenthood and StemExpress, a California company that provides blood, tissue and other biological material for medical research and had received fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood, discussing how they illegally harvest and sell the organs, and other baby body parts.
Leftists and Planned Parenthood officials claim the videos were edited to support extremists' false claims. Of course they claim that. The truth doesn't matter, and they will lie as much as possible to cover-up their crimes. . . and the complicit judges have helped with the disgusting cover-up.
As for their accusation that the films were creatively edited, it's funny how they had no problem with Katie Couric's edit of 2nd Amendment interview videos. That was okay, in their minds, because it supported a leftist cause. Leftism can lie, cheat and deceive, but the moment a right-of-center individual exposes their crimes, the full legal gauntlet is launched against them, just like we've seen with Daleiden and Merritt.
“Planned Parenthood has done nothing wrong, and the only people who broke the law are those behind the fraudulent tapes,” said Mary Alice Carter, interim vice president of communications for Planned Parenthood, in a statement. Slaughtering babies before they can take their first breath, to these people, is also doing “nothing wrong.” Murder, and body parts sells, but the filmmakers are the guilty parties for daring to try and expose the criminal enterprise that is Planned Parenthood.
In Texas, eight months ago, the grand jury had originally been convened to investigate Planned Parenthood based on the evidence provided by Daleiden and Merritt. However, the biased grand jury found conveniently found no wrongdoing, and then turned on Daleiden and Merritt like a pitbull with an attitude.
The Texas charges were eventually dropped because it was determined the grand jury had overstepped its authority.
The message by the liberal left Democrats and their cronies seems to be that if you can't stop those who dare to stand against the liberal left narrative, try, try again. This time, in California, the liberal left got its wish, and Daleiden and Merritt, for exposing how Planned Parenthood is even more heinous that we suspected, have been charged with 15 felonies, and will probably get the maximum sentence, and perhaps something worse (just ask Dinesh D'Souza how “fair” the judges are with conservatives) for daring to film while not a liberal leftist.
Simply put, the liberal courts are not abiding by the rule of law. They are ruling based on their political ideological bias. The leftist judges in this country are a danger to the American System, and treasonous in their support of a leftist ideology designed to overthrow the U.S. Constitution and replace it with a socialist system never intended by the Founding Fathers.
