I said it all along and will say it again: The antiabortion "sting" videos purporting to trap Planned Parenthood into admitting it harvests and sells aborted fetal parts for profit were as malicious as they were untrue.
On Monday in Houston, a grand jury agreed.
Asked to investigate Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, a branch of one of the country's most important healthcare providers for women, the grand jury found no wrongdoing on the part of the group, whose staffers were secretly videotaped talking about the cost of procuring fetal tissue for research. Instead, the grand jury handed down indictments against two of the antiabortion zealots involved in the "sting."
If that's not poetic justice, nothing is.
David Daleiden, the antiabortion zealot who created the Center for Medical Progress as a front for his deceptive efforts, has been indicted on a felony charge of tampering with a government record. (The reason for that charge is unclear, but Planned Parenthood has alleged that Daleiden and his associates used fake government identifications and used aliases.)

Anyone with an ounce of sense or knowledge would not have believed the preposterous claims against Planned Parenthood. Its destruction/delegitimizing/defunding is the Holy Grail of the American antiabortion movement.

In what was supposed to be some sort of "bombshell," antiabortion crusaders claimed that Nucatola admitted harvesting aborted fetal parts, changing abortion procedures to accommodate the harvesting of aborted fetal parts, then illegally selling the aborted fetal parts to medical researchers.
I watched and rewatched the video. I read the transcript. Although Nucatola's conversation may have been unsavory -- who wants to talk about fetal body parts over salad? -- I never believed for a moment that she was describing anything illegal or unethical.

Anyone with an ounce of sense can see that Planned Parenthood is another $ACRED COW whose officials are GETTING AWAY WITH THINGS that ordinary people wouldn't. It's AFFLUENZA.
How about someone who's drunk and driving claiming that they're innocent because they weren't aware they were doing both at the same time, and going after the police for falsely arresting them? And the proof of the , they didn't hit anything or hurt anyone!
This makes me wonder, is she still in office in Texas?

” a felony charge of tampering with a government record”
Oh Robin, give us a “poetic break”
Anyone with a brain (which obviously excludes you) can see the biased prosecutors led a politically motivated witch hunt with ignorant grand jurors.
What is that saying, Robin, about grand juries and ham sandwiches?
Hmm.. Let’s see.. If someone is indited for buying body parts, wouldn’t that also mean someone was selling them? Oh, right, the videos are faked - so we’ll be seeing murder charges against Mel Gibson for his many on film appearances?
Or is it that the grand jury was told they could not consider the videos as evidence against Planned Murder Inc as it was secretly recorded?
I’m sure the author and all the other reporters out there would have investigated that question...

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.
What “government record” was tampered with here?
Hillary’s emails? No wait. Wrong thread.
Well played, sir! :-)
At some point people get what they deserve. Hope it happens soon.
This is EXACTLY how the Soviet Union would play this sort of stuff.
The person demanding accountability from the government would be arrested for Sedition or Fomenting Rebellion.
We are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT the Soviet Union now.
PP is a big supporter of the democrat party, with votes and money. All liberals know this, and bow down before the great god of power and money, and protect PP.
This will go nowhere. It’s just a nasty attempt to silence the opposition.
Another ham sandwich indicted by a grand jury that only hears one side.
(Dollars-to-donuts the LA Times doesn't consider that to be "poetic justice"!)
The Godless world is really trying to push the issue away from the election. All you hear about is the same old money issues. Social issues embarrass a lot of Republicans.
All it takes is one prolife juror to derail this train.
The tax subsidies for murder and murderers go on and on.
The video tapers should have gotten a black women to be in the video and then released the videos on Martin Luther King day.
If anybody protested, immediately cry RACISM and killing BLACK BABIES.
These conservative groups and the conservatism movement needs to WAKE UP. They are playing with fire when they try to attack Liberals.
Liberals are vicious. We need to start playing on their terms.
