Lawyers want Planned Parenthood probe to continue

Though it was convened to investigate Planned Parenthood, it indicted two members of the group that made the videos instead.

Daleiden and Merritt were indicted on two counts by a grand jury that was originally investigating Planned Parenthood due to undercover videos produced by the Center for Medical Progress.

Texas law prohibits the use of a governmental record “with knowledge of its falsity” or any “false alteration” of a governmental record.

“There’s not a jury in Harris County that will convict David Daleiden”, predicts attorney Abraham Hamilton III. “The number of women that are being served by Planned Parenthood have to be seen by someone else, and what we’re concerned about, is where they would go”.

But Lori Carpentier, president of Planned Parenthood Advocates of MI, told the committee that “For many of our 71,000 patients, coming to a Planned Parenthood center is the only healthcare they will receive in a given year”.

The Harris County District Attorney’s office, meanwhile, announced that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast had been cleared in the two-month-long investigation.

“Because of Newman’s position on the CMP Board, I believe Lewis viewed the Planned Parenthood grand jury as an opportunity for revenge”, Sullenger argues.

We completed our investigation and did not find any evidence that they were doing that. They also may face a misdemeanor charge for offering to buy human organs.

Prolifers praised them, saying the videos show illegal profiting from the sale of fetal tissue.

And Houston criminal defense attorney Grant Scheiner, who’s not affiliated with the case, called the charges “pretty straight forward”, adding that the activists “used fake IDs, which is not something that a legitimate or reputable journalist would do”.

“There have been a lot of very negative effects from this, and that’s what the perpetrators really, I think, were looking for”.

The Utah branch of Planned Parenthood says a federal judge abused his discretion when he allowed the governor to cut off funding to the organization after the release of secretly recorded videos showing out-of-state employees discussing fetal tissue from abortions.

But the proposed bill will not affect Planned Parenthood services here in MI, because it gets its funding from the federal government.

This letter was sent to Planned Parenthood before the governor delivered his speech, according to the AP.

Republican state Sen. Max Wise, who wrote Kentucky’s bill, criticized the grand jury’s decision and said the bill would protect the state from the “cold-hearted trading of body parts for money”.

For her part, Carly Fiorina said the case against Daleiden undoubtedly is less certain than the one against Planned Parenthood.
