Liberty Counsel is in a San Francisco courtroom TODAY defending Sandra Merritt. What happens today may well determine if this brave grandmother turned Planned Parenthood whistleblower will face the threat of spending the next decade in prison. Please pray!

In all of California’s history, not a single undercover journalist has been prosecuted for their work … that is, until Sandra Merritt exposed international abortion giant Planned Parenthood and organ procurement companies committing multiple heinous acts against helpless children. One abortion doctor bragged about how she performed a partial birth abortion-type procedure to extract baby organs intact so they could be sold for a higher price. 

Not a single Planned Parenthood doctor or executive was prosecuted. Instead, thanks to Planned Parenthood’s vast political funding of politicians, Sandra Merritt faces the possibility of years in prison. This weaponized criminal case was initiated by Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra. 

In 2014, Sandra Merritt went undercover as a journalist, recording Planned Parenthood (PP) executives and others in public places as they openly bragged about their despicable and unlawful activity to achieve higher profits for the sale of baby body parts. The more intact the baby organ, the higher the selling price.  

One of the organ procurement companies had a website where research facilities could order baby body parts — hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys, brains, and many more — based on gestation. 

In one particular video, recorded July 25, 2014, over lunch at a busy restaurant, Planned Parenthood’s Senior Director of Medical Services Deborah Nucatola blithely discussed her unlawful human-organ-trafficking side business, naming prices for the unlawfully “harvested” baby parts.  

Defend life.

Dr. Nucatola also detailed how she had “gotten pretty good” at performing what amounts to partial birth abortions — federally banned — to ensure the highest prices for uncrushed baby hearts, lungs, and livers.  

Nucatola even went on to explain how Planned Parenthood’s lawyers had advised the national office to arrange their unlawful baby organ procurement practices to ensure that, if caught, Planned Parenthood’s affiliate organizations, not the national PPFA, would take the fall.

Sandra filmed Planned Parenthood doctors, executives, and organ procurement representatives openly admitting their vile practices. No less than four state and federal laws are implicated, including:

  • 42 USC 274e that makes it a felony to buy or sell human body parts.
  • 42 USC 289G that forbids knowingly acquiring, receiving, or otherwise transferring any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and/or a fine of up to 500,000 dollars.
  • 1 USC 8 that classifies killing babies born alive as homicide.
  • 18 USC 1531 that bans partial birth abortion.
But ONLY SANDRA faces the possibility of prison, while the Planned Parenthood doctors and organ procurement executives walk free, continuing their daily butchery and trafficking of babies across America every day.

Don’t let Planned Parenthood SILENCE the free press. 

That’s likely because of Planned Parenthood’s massive political donation budget. The abortion giant contributed heavily to the campaigns of Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra. As then-California attorney general, Harris instigated these bogus criminal charges against Sandra. When Harris left for the U.S. Senate, her protégé, Becerra, continued those charges upon taking over her role as the Golden State’s AG. And of course, Kamala Harris made abortion the centerpiece of her failed bid for the White House.

Sandra’s case has been the most expensive case in Liberty Counsel history.

Not only is Sandra's case one of the most important abortion cases in the land, but it is also one of the most important First Amendment cases. Because a free country relies on a free press.

We cannot allow PP to suppress speech or silence the press.

Please be in prayer for Sandra, our attorneys, and even the judges in this case. I will update you on the results of today's hearing as soon as I can.
