Harris grand jury indicts pair behind Planned Parenthood videos (TEXAS VALUES?)
Houston Chronicle ^

Posted on 01/25/2016 5:11:19 PM PST by TigerClaws

A Harris County grand jury investigating allegations that a Planned Parenthood clinic in Houston illegally sold the tissue of aborted fetuses has cleared the organization of wrongdoing and instead indicted two anti-abortion activists behind the undercover videos that sparked the probe.

Secret videographers David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were both indicted on charges of tampering with a governmental record, a second-degree felony that carries a punishment of up to 20 years in prison. Daleiden received an additional misdemeanor indictment under the law prohibiting the purchase and sale of human organs.

I doubt if the Donald could be bothered to care.

Although, if he thought it would score him political points, particularly over Cruz, he would no doubt be the most concerned individual imaginable over such developments.

It would be natural to ask Cruz given his position as a defender of life and it being in his home state, even his home city.

Pretty sad to see people hear smear a great state, one of the more sane ones when it comes to a lot of the issues most of us supposedly care about just because we have to get back at THAT MEANIE TED CRUZ, as Donald Trump supporters (those who clearly are).

Houston is a different animal in Texas though. I don’t live there, but from an outside perspective, it seems like they at this point don’t really care at this point. They did elect the lesbian mayor, who was and is a LGBT activist. Then they re-elected her if I’m not mistaken. But turnout in those races was pretty much a joke. I guess OVERALL, the people in Houston have taken the attitude of “who cares.”

That’s sad if that is the case.

You don't think the libs in the press will have gotcha questions for all GOP candidates over this development?

I'm sure Trump has people reading FR; I don't know about Cruz.

But it would behoove each of them to be prepared.

Oh I am sure they might. Who knows out of all the things they could key in on, what they might try to trip up the candidates with.

Even though they do of course love Planned Parenthood and the baby murder business.

I suppose it would be, like I said, a bit of a natural question for Cruz since it involves his home state.

People are supporting Trump to stop PC madness, to stop amnesty, to restore America's military and economic standing

Cruz 'gets it' on the complex situation in Syria, regarding Russia's broader (expansionist) agenda there, and elsewhere. Trump either doesn't or is in cahoots with Putin on it.

I just donated $100 to the Center for Medical Progress.

I don’t make a lot of money, but I couldn’t spend that money in a better way.

I know many people just can’t make such a contribution, but most can something, and some people might be able to give much more than I, and I hope they will.

And certainly we should pray for them and encourage them, and thank them for their work in bringing light to some of PP’s darkest practices.

And we should also contact people on both sides of this.

The country is not so happy-go-lucky pro-abortion as the people of Planned Parenthood and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are.

Trump is attempting to win by doing the (seemingly-contradictory, therefore impossible to the pundit class) feat of uniting the Tea Party, with a smattering of the Evangelicals, with the long term underemployed who got shafted by Obama and wouldn't vote for a regular Republican.

So he's not focused on foreign policy, except by appealing for a strong border and a stronger Dept. of Defense.

What cesspool did they get those jurors from?

Moved to the suburbs a few years ago but Houston trash is beginning to filter down to us. Houston had a gay Mayor - Denise Porker. She was term limited and was replaced by a Black City Council member. Huge Planned Parenthood very near the University of Houston. Area is all a liberal cesspool populated by LGTS’s, illegals, muslims and Sheila Jackson Lee supporters.

Yuck

Well, I guess at least that is the explanation for why an absolute idiot like Sheila Jackson Lee keeps getting elected.

If Texas can spawn an Austin,
then I guess Houston could go
over to the dark side, too.

Someone sent me a link today about another Black gal that has thrown her hat in the ring to run against SJL. Am going to check it out and see what’s up. SJL will not go quietly into the night! She and John Cornyn are great examples of why we should have term limits for all politicians in Texas.

Texas has values. Houston, however, is a whole 'nuther rat-infested country.

Another scam rigged grand jury in Texas - like the one that indicted Tom DeLay, later found innocent of all charges....

they have now dragged this story back in public view

The objective was to drag the fact that the videos were faked into public view. Mission Accomplished on that one.

The reason planned parenthood located there is because it is across the freeway from the Catholic Carismatic center.
To fight back, the Catholic group put billboards all around the butcher shop with the phrase, “Take my hand, not my life” in English and Spanish.

Have you ever noticed that there are whole lot of lightening rods on PP’s building? Some one there knows they are doing evil.

Never noticed the Catholic center. Only place I go in the city now is around West U and the Village. One of my friends used to go to PP once a week with a group of people when it first opened to hold a prayer vigil outside. Don’t think they still do it on a regular basis.
