Sandra Merritt's Never-Ending Nightmare...

May 21, 2019

Liberty Counsel is fighting the most important legal battle against Planned Parenthood in America today. It's a never-ending nightmare for our client, Sandra Merritt, a brave pro-life grandmother.

But your gift now will make a real difference for her. Please read below and consider a generous gift to help us wage this critical fight and others in defense of life, liberty and the family. Thank you! -Mat.

Imagine that you are in a courtroom going up against Big Abortion itself — Planned Parenthood, with its hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and a huge legal war chest to attack and punish anyone who stands in its way.

Planned Parenthood wants to DESTROY you, so they have filed a civil case seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages.

But that's just the beginning of your nightmare...

At the same time, you’re fingerprinted and dragged off to jail as a result of 15 felony criminal charges being brought by the Attorney General of California, who also has hundreds of millions of dollars at his disposal and an army of prosecutors. If found guilty, you could spend years in jail.

And what is your "crime"?

Going undercover to expose Planned Parenthood's heinous trade in human body parts.

This is what has happened to Sandra Merritt. The pressure she has felt battling both Planned Parenthood and the legal force of the State of California is almost unimaginable.

But it gets worse.


+  +  Exposing Planned Parenthood's conspiracy with highly placed government officials...

Through our defense of Sandra, Liberty Counsel's legal team uncovered an "unholy alliance" between Planned Parenthood and government officials.

For starters, both Attorney Generals involved in the case--current U.S. Senator (and presidential candidate) Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra--have received thousands of dollars in donations from...you guessed it...Planned Parenthood!

Last fall, Liberty Counsel submitted, on Sandra's behalf, overwhelming evidence of an extensive scheme of coordination between Planned Parenthood and the two attorney generals. The coordination includes...

  • campaign contributions
  • join legislative lobbying to enact new laws to benefit Planned Parenthood
  • a meeting between former Attorney General Harris and top Planned Parenthood officials that occurred only two weeks before Harris' investigators seized evidence from our client
  • California Attorney General Becerra announced his Office is "united" with Planned Parenthood
  • AG Becerra celebrated his primary election in front of a poster reading, "I STAND WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD"

For months, our legal team has been laying out the facts of this "unholy alliance." Based on the clear bias, we filed in court for AG Becerra to be recused from the case and for the criminal case to be dismissed based on selective, discriminatory prosecution.

But last week, the state Supreme Court, without comment, denied our motion.


+  +  We have reached a critical stage in this fight...

Within weeks, Liberty Counsel will be back in court for a two-week preliminary hearing in the criminal case against Sandra. And this week we are filing a motion for summary judgment in the civil case. 

We are bracing for this next phase of Sandra’s legal defense to be even more costly and time consuming. But the cost of losing our liberties and the failure to stand up for innocent children is far more costly!

That is why we must fight, but I need your help.

Specifically, we need at least $100,000 over and above our normal budgeted expenses in the next 30 days to keep pace with this and other crucial cases.

Can I count on your help?

Would you prayerfully consider making a special gift to help Liberty Counsel at this critical stage in our battle to defend Sandra Merritt, while we fight other critical cases in courtrooms across America?

To make your gift, go here now!

We simply do not have hundreds of millions of dollars in our budget like Planned Parenthood--or the virtually unlimited legal resources at the disposal of the California Attorney General.

But we do have FAITH! And we have FRIENDS LIKE YOU who are standing with Liberty Counsel so we can stand up and defend Sandra and so many others whose faith and freedom are coming under attack.

So, please...prayerfully consider how you can help us right now and then make your best possible tax-deductible gift.

Thank you so much for your financial support and for your prayers!

For Life and Liberty,

Mat Staver
Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel


P.S. Our battle on Sandra's behalf is hugely important - and it's just one of many we're now fighting in defense of life, family and freedom. Please be as generous as you can. Thank you!
