Left's little darling: Planned Parenthood scores another one for evil

A Texas Grand Jury has ruled in favor of  Planned Parenthood and against the "lead investigator" of the Center for Medical Progress, the group behind the videos exposing PP's selling of freshly deceased babies for profit. Predictably, leftist pro-abortionists cheered and then tauntingly jeered at pro-lifers as only the Left can do.

The CMP lead investigator, David Daleiden will now face charges for two counts: One for “tampering with a governmental record” (felony) and the other for "violation of the state’s prohibition of the purchase and sale of human organs" (misdemeanor).

Aside from the fact that we officially live in a world where the slaughter and selling of innocent, helpless humans is excusable - but the exposing of such evil is not -- those who are so blindly cheering on Planned Parenthood over the Grand Jury decision should take pause. At the very least, they should ask what this means for the future of "citizen-journalism".

As pointed out by journalist Wes Walker, "Suppose this wasn’t a hidden-camera expose on the 'beloved' Planned Parenthood? What if it were an expose on corrupt Banking practices, or illegal mining practices? Something that would be swept under the rug unless it could be shown that the executives themselves were knowingly part of it. What approach besides this one could be used to expose them? And would such journalists — whose sole aim it was to expose these practices — be subject to prosecution for trying to prove they exist? Because that’s what happened here."

The other question is, where was the criminal intent on the part of David Daleiden? He was merely acting as a supposed fetal tissue buyer. He didn’t go through with any actual transaction. He just got Planned Parenthood officials to admit on camera that they themselves engaged in this heinous illegal activity. 

This all sounds like a classic case of personal politics to me. One of the prosecutors in the DA's office involved is purportedly a PP Board Member and PP probably knows Daleiden will never get convicted – but he will likely be bankrupted over this. 

David Daleiden has given his own response to the ruling and its implications. It’s well worth the read. Here is an excerpt:

Planned Parenthood cannot rebut the incriminating statements of its own leadership on these tapes, and so it has resorted to an awkward shuffle of blind denials and stagy distractions in their wake. The truth will continue to come out through the congressional probe, through the ongoing state investigations and through the frivolous lawsuit Planned Parenthood now brings in retaliation for its exposure. The accounting gimmicks I believe Planned Parenthood uses to hide its baby parts sales may pass unnoticed in 24-hour-news-cycle sound bites, but the quality-based specimen payments from fetal tissue vendors who already do all the work of collection and transport are impossible to defend under closer scrutiny. In order to avoid such scrutiny, Planned Parenthood has announced a dubious “policy change” to end these payments. After months of defending them as perfectly legal and appropriate, this seems like an admission of guilt.

Planned Parenthood falsely advertises itself as a vital, mainstream medical organization, when in reality it offers a limited set of basic reproductive health services, which act as a cover for a booming abortion business. This leviathan, subsidized by nearly $500 million taxpayer dollars each year, spends millions in lobbying and electioneering money to prop up its public image and funding streams. The polling data indicate that when the public knows that Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the country and receives taxpayer funding yet engages in one-sided electioneering and harvests baby parts, even its own supporters turn against it.

My guess is this is a gross misuse of the office and will be thrown out. The fact they indicted the investigator and not Planned Parenthood is the giveaway since, as stated earlier, there was no actual intent to deal in body parts by the investigator, whereas Planned Parenthood clearly demonstrated its actual involvement in dealing in body parts. Then again, Planned Parenthood receives more than a million dollars a day from taxpayers. It's the darling of anti-life liberals who will do anything to protect it. But I have faith that truth and justice will prevail - if not in our time, then surely in God's.
