SAN FRANCISCO, — The jury for the Planned Parenthood federal civil trial in San Francisco caught a glimpse of the dark world of aborted baby body parts trafficking during David Daleiden’s third day of testimony.

Planned Parenthood and its allies have dragged Daleiden and his organization, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), through the courts.

San Francisco, CA — Testimony has concluded in the punitive RICO case brought by Planned Parenthood against pro-life activists, including Operation Rescue’s Troy Newman, who exposed Planned Parenthood’s participation in the illegal trafficking of aborted baby tissues and organs. It is a trial that has had its high and low moments. Of note recently was the admission under oath by a representative from Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) that is still has a contract with Planned Parenthood to supply them aborted baby body parts. That means the organ trafficking continues — and so do Planned Parenthood’s potential crimes! In another development,...

There were more shocking revelations from abortionists this week as the witness and evidence presentations ended yesterday for the civil trial in the San Francisco Federal District Court.

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.

The civil case, in which abortionists are seeking monetary damages for the videos, are a prelude to the...
