Thomas More Society attorneys have secured a settlement of the lawsuit filed against David Daleiden and the University of Washington (“UW”) over Daleiden’s public records requests for documents relating to UW’s national clearinghouse for the fetal tissues and organs of aborted babies. The federal district court allowed the settlement yesterday, clearing the way to end a six-year legal battle that included three appeals to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The lawsuit was originally brought by an anonymous group of abortion and aborted fetal tissue workers in August 2016, in response to Daleiden’s February 2016 request for documents about their...

Judge Carol Bagley Amon’s opinion exposed the deceit of abortion apologists and the symbiotic relationship between them and the New York attorney general’s office.On Friday, in a rare move, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals pulled a 100-plus page opinion it had issued in March against a group of pro-life protestors. The short three-sentence order in People of the State of New York v. Griepp—in which the court, without elaboration, granted rehearing of the case, vacated its previous opinion, and reinstated the district court’s decision—tells none of the bigger story of this continuing saga: a story of complicity between the...

Even though Pennsylvania is historically pro-life, the taxpayer-funded University of Pittsburgh is the hub for some of the most barbaric experiments carried out on late-term aborted babies--and the evidence indicates that sometimes they are delivered ALIVE before being killed for organ harvesting.

Even though Pennsylvania is historically pro-life, the taxpayer-funded University of Pittsburgh is the hub for some of the most barbaric experiments carried out on late-term aborted babies--and the evidence indicates that sometimes they are delivered ALIVE before being killed for organ harvesting. The government-sponsored fetal experiments at Pitt include scalping 5-month-old aborted fetuses to stitch onto lab rats, exporting fetal kidneys across the country, and killing infants delivered alive for liver harvesting–funded by U.S. taxpayers via the National Institutes of Health, and in particular Dr. Anthony Fauci’s NIAID office. Local Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania abortion providers supply the aborted...

As expected, a federal judge who has ties to Planned Parenthood permanently blocked undercover journalist David Daleiden this week from releasing additional videos that Daleiden says show evidence of infanticide in the abortion industry. U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued the permanent injunction at the request of the National Abortion Federation (NAF) and demanded that Daleiden turn over the video footage, according to lawyers representing NAF. The order applies to about 200 hours of video footage that Daleiden and other undercover investigators with the Center for Medical Progress recorded at a NAF conference. Additionally, the judge granted NAF lawyers’ motion...

President Trump is right to refuse to concede the 2020 election until every legal vote has been counted and allegations of significant fraud have been fairly investigated. His voters deserve and need to know if we were beaten fair and square. Otherwise, Democrats are poisoning the nation’s political well and ensuring Republicans never wield power at the federal level again after having established that Republicans will not fight fraud. Since the president’s team has begun releasing increasingly good evidence of large-scale voter fraud in key states, the tide may yet turn again. At the same time, the same media-Democrat complex...

The Center for Medical Progress released a new video today explaining how Kamala Harris, as California Attorney General, colluded with Planned Parenthood to weaponize California's video recording law to punish CMP's undercover reporting on Planned Parenthood's fetal tissue harvesting and research programs. The six-minute video features CMP founder and president David Daleiden, who developed and orchestrated the organization's 30-month-long undercover study of Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry's participation in the illegal sale of body parts from aborted fetuses, describing how at the behest of Planned Parenthood, Kamala Harris had California DOJ agents raid his home to try to stop...

Kamala Harris has been nominated by the Democratic Party to be a heartbeat away from the presidency and judging from presidential nominee Joe Biden’s physical and mental condition these days that might not amount to a whole lot of heartbeats. Her ascension would bring to power someone who has made war on the heartbeats of the unborn, someone who has already used that power to shred the Constitution’s guarantee of the freedom of the press and persecute an investigative a reporter who exposed Planned Parenthood’s efforts to harvest and sell aborted fetal body parts. David Daleiden is head of a...

Sen. Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president Wednesday night, exactly three weeks after journalist and pro-life activist David Daleiden appeared in a San Francisco Superior Court, once again fighting the criminal charges Harris brought against him at the behest of her political donors four years prior. As Harris joins a campaign fighting for the “soul of our nation,” Daleiden continues a years-long battle for countless unborn souls and the First Amendment, both of which Harris has a record of fighting against. In March 2016, as the California attorney general, Harris met with six Planned Parenthood officials in...

Five years ago the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released undercover videos that revealed evidence of criminal activity by America’s largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood. The tapes showed senior Planned Parenthood officials talking about selling aborted babies’ body parts for profit and how Planned Parenthood manipulated its abortion techniques to procure fresh, intact organs from children killed in late-term abortions. Dr. Deborah Nucatola, who was Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical services, discussed this openly with CMP investigators over lunch: "So then you're just kind of cognizant of where you put your graspers, so I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm going to basically crush...

Undercover journalist David Daleiden is suing Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., alleging that as her state's attorney general, she conspired to violate his civil rights through a purportedly bogus prosecution. Daleiden, an anti-abortion activist, famously released undercover videos of Planned Parenthood officials engaging in highly controversial discussions about fetal tissue procurement. In response, California sued him through an unprecedented application of the state's eavesdropping law -- a move that Daleiden alleges was intended to suppress journalism. “This complaint seeks justice for a brazen, unprecedented, and ongoing conspiracy to selectively use California’s video recording laws as a political weapon to silence disfavored...

San Francisco, CA – When the Center for Medical Progress released its shocking series of videos in the summer of 2015, showing undercover footage of Planned Parenthood abortionists and executives discussing their lucrative trade in body parts harvested from aborted babies, it caused a tsunami of bad publicity for the nation’s largest supplier of abortions. The sale of tissues and organs of aborted babies for profit is illegal under 42 U.S. Codes 274e and 289g-2. It was not long before a San Francisco, California, Federal Court Judge placed a gag order sealed up much of the evidence gathered during the...

A Planned Parenthood employee testified in court that she wanted to “move forward” and sell fetal livers for $750 each. Transcripts show that Tram Nguyen, who identifies herself as a healthcare administrator at Planned Parenthood of the Gulf Coast, said that she wanted to proceed with a deal to sell fetal livers for $750 each or combos of fetal livers and fetal thymi for $1,600. Nguyen testified in March 2019 as part of the trial of the Center for Medical Progress’ David Daleiden, who secretly recorded and released videos exposing Planned Parenthood employees discussing buying and selling fetal body parts....

A San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled Friday that nine of the state’s 15 felony charges against undercover journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, in a prosecution initiated by then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris, have enough evidence to proceed to a criminal trial. The judge dropped the other six charges. Daleiden and Merritt, citizen journalists with the Center for Medical Progress, were charged with 14 felony counts of illegal taping of confidential information (eavesdropping) and one count of conspiracy, in which they exposed the illegal activity of Planned Parenthood and the human tissue procurement company StemExpress. The case marks the...

Pro-life leaders celebrated Wednesday when the U.S. Senate confirmed conservative Sarah Pitlyk to a federal court position. Nominated by President Donald Trump in August, Pitlyk will replace U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry in the Eastern District of Missouri. The U.S. Senate voted 49-44 to confirm her Wednesday afternoon. Pitlyk is a strong human rights advocate and defender of religious freedom. Her work at the Thomas More Society, a leading pro-life legal group, prompted strong opposition from abortion advocacy groups and pro-abortion Democrats. “We congratulate Sarah Pitlyk on her well-deserved confirmation and are confident she will serve with distinction on the...

Kamala Harris was one of more than 20 Democrats hoping to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020. She has a 100-percent pro-abortion voting record and voted against a bill to protect newborns from infanticide. And she told voters she would force Americans to fund abortions up to birth. But the California senator decided to drop after today after lackluster results, a low polling and fundraising standing, and the inability to make it to prime time debates. Here’s more: Hours before Harris announced she was exiting the Democratic primary, her campaign canceled a New York City fundraiser that was expected to...

November 28, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Pro-life investigator David Daleiden and the Centre for Medical Progress (CMP) are suing a former Planned Parenthood abortionist for claiming that undercover footage that shows her negotiating the harvesting and selling of body parts from aborted babies is “fake.” Dr. Savita Ginde, the former Chief Medical Officer at Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountain, accused Daleiden and his organization of fabricating evidence in a book she wrote as well as in a TEDx talk. The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released undercover videos in 2015 that showed top Planned Parenthood leaders negotiating the harvesting and sale of...

November 26, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – As lead trial counsel for the defense, many people have asked me what happened to bring about the recent jury verdict in favor of Planned Parenthood against David Daleiden and his co-defendants. Despite over three decades of trial experience, I can tell you that I have never seen anything like this mockery of a trial in San Francisco. Given the liberal venue purposely chosen by Planned Parenthood, we knew from the outset that it would be an uphill battle. It soon became obvious from the early rulings of the federal judge assigned to the case,...
