Attorneys for Planned Parenthood did their best yesterday to discredit and destroy a baby body parts whistleblower. But their effort backfired—big time. See my report below.
And please consider a gift today. The need is urgent.
Liberty Counsel does not charge to represent our client, pro-life hero Sandra Merritt. We’re dependent on friends like you—and this is the most expensive case in Liberty Counsel history. Please be as generous as you can!
Read about Planned Parenthood’s big fail yesterday in court below. –Mat
Planned Parenthood took a hit last week when jurors watched a shocking ABC News 20/20 report from 2000 revealing baby body parts trafficking inside a Planned Parenthood abortion facility.
And yesterday in court, Planned Parenthood took a second hit when its attempt to undo the damage backfired in a big way.
Like Sandra Merritt, ABC went undercover to investigate baby body parts trafficking. (Unlike Sandra, however, Planned Parenthood didn’t sue ABC for millions in a baseless revenge suit). The ABC report captured on hidden camera a greedy pathologist bragging at dinner about the enormous income he made selling organs harvested from babies.
In the 20/20 video, over lobster bisque and roast duck, Dr. Miles Jones revealed that his business earned up to $50,000 a week selling organs and tissue from little boys and girls killed in abortion facilities. And that his real cost per baby was just $50 plus overhead.
The ABC News 20/20 report which jurors watched revealed a stunning price list offering spinal cords for $325, gonads for $550, and brains for $999.
“That represents greed,” former organ procurement technician Dean Alberty told ABC in the nineteen-year-old video.
Alberty, a star witness on the ABC investigative report, blew the whistle after his troubled conscience spurred him to reveal the awful truth about what he saw and did while working in a Kansas Planned Parenthood abortion facility.
But yesterday in a San Francisco federal courtroom, Planned Parenthood attacked Alberty’s credibility. Attorneys for the abortion giant cited an affidavit Alberty signed in which he said he had “no personal knowledge” his employer, Dr. Miles Jones, reaped a profit from the sale of fetal tissue.
But it’s patently obvious Jones pocketed tens of thousands in ill-got gains from selling body parts of little babies. Plus, “personal knowledge” is a legal term that only means Alberty was not an actual eyewitness to the claim he made.
And when Planned Parenthood waved the affidavit yesterday in the face of David Daleiden, Sandra’s colleague in exposing Planned Parenthood, David had the perfect comeback.
“He never recanted his sworn testimony of seeing fetuses cut open with their hearts still beating in a Kansas Planned Parenthood center,” Daleiden replied.
Boom!
Not only did David insert fresh information about what Alberty saw—but he reminded jurors that this gruesome horror took place inside a Planned Parenthood abortion facility.
By the way, Alberty testified under oath to a House subcommittee in 2000 that he blew the whistle and went public after . . .
“watching late-term abortions, seeing their eyes looking at me as I cut through their skull to extract their brain for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's patients, cutting open their chest cavity, only to see a beating heart moving ever so slowly until it stopped.”
That is the horror we’re fighting now in a San Francisco federal courtroom . . . and why I ask for your generous help to defend Sandra.
+ + We present our case next week
After five weeks of trial in Planned Parenthood’s federal civil suit targeting pro-life hero Sandra Merritt, Liberty Counsel finally gets the chance next week to put on our case.
But our hands are tied. The judge—who has past ties to Planned Parenthood—is limiting the witnesses we can put on the stand.
Please pray—and stand with Liberty Counsel as we defend Sandra in the most important pro-life legal battle in decades.
Your support now is vital. Because we do not charge to represent Sandra—or any of our clients—we depend on friends like you.
And the need is urgent. Planned Parenthood wants to crush Sandra and discredit the evidence that she and David Daleiden revealed in their hidden-camera investigation. But with your help, we’re fighting to stop that from happening.
This is the most expensive case in Liberty Counsel’s history. Please stand with Sandra now!
Thank you for praying and partnering with us in this crucial battle for Sandra and the unborn ... and for the very soul of our nation.
For life and liberty,
Mat Staver
