There's been a "game-changer" at the California civil trial in which Planned Parenthood is suing the investigators whose undercover videos exposed the abortion industry's scheme to profit from the sale of baby body parts.
For the first time, jurors were allowed to see portions of the videos that were released in 2015.
The videos -- featuring Planned Parenthood executives making admissions on hidden camera -- caused a furor that caught the attention of lawmakers.
California regulators shut down businesses that had been buying body parts, and two congressional committees referred companies and individuals for possible prosecution. The committees cited a federal law that bans profiting from the sale of body parts.
In the California case, Planned Parenthood is seeking $16 million in damages from the Center for Medical Progress videographers, alleging violations of privacy laws.
The defendants, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, argue the videos were made in a public restaurant where their conversations could be overheard.

‘Planning parenthood’ involves not having unprotected sex unless you plan on becoming a parent. That is clearly not the focus of Planned Parenthood.
Since state sanctioned abortion began in 1973, Dr. Brian Clowes, director of education and research at Human Life International, estimates that there have been more than 1.72 billion abortions!
And the trend is not lessening but growing exponentially as more and more countries embrace and legalize contraception and abortion as methods of population control, which is always sold as family planning and reproductive health.

This is like the nazi’s suing the liberators for exposing the nazi’s mass murder.
Truly these are evilest of people in these most evil times.

In the old days, this was what was known as investigative journalism. Something not done much nowadays as the major networks are just lazy pr agencies for the DNC.
kamela harris when she was Cal AG had the recorders investigated and not PP
A strategy employed by the defense, as explained in the update linked above, was to show how unconcerned the PP representative ( who was "secretly recorded" ) was of being overheard by any of the waiters or bus boys during the conversation of PP illegally procuring and providing these baby's body parts to others for financial gain.
The judge was then forced to allow the jury to view the video, not because of evidence of the illegal sale of body parts, which he would not allow, but to provide evidence of said unconcern of the PP representative to being overheard during the conversation.
Quite brilliant and perhaps it will improve the chances of other videos being allowed as evidence. May it open a door for the public to see yet unseen undercover videos said to be even more shocking!
Bkmk planned Parenthood
Thanks for the post

Sounds like their case is going well In spite of the judge
Judge William Orrick is hearing the case under a cloud.
He was on the board of a community organization and negotiated a no-fee lease for Planned Parenthood in the community center he helped run.
This should be front and center every night on the news, “Killing babies for their body parts, dr mengle would be proud” but the scumbags are just as bad as the murderers in this story
Why aren't the sellers being charged and prosecuted?
Many Germans were reduced to tears after being perp walked past the ovens.
We've had 40+ years to dry our tears; so what's the big deal now?

No, only 7 of them. Rehnquist and White dissented.
