I said it all along and will say it again: The antiabortion "sting" videos purporting to trap Planned Parenthood into admitting it harvests and sells aborted fetal parts for profit were as malicious as they were untrue.
On Monday in Houston, a grand jury agreed.
Asked to investigate Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, a branch of one of the country's most important healthcare providers for women, the grand jury found no wrongdoing on the part of the group, whose staffers were secretly videotaped talking about the cost of procuring fetal tissue for research. Instead, the grand jury handed down indictments against two of the antiabortion zealots involved in the "sting."
If that's not poetic justice, nothing is.
David Daleiden, the antiabortion zealot who created the Center for Medical Progress as a front for his deceptive efforts, has been indicted on a felony charge of tampering with a government record. (The reason for that charge is unclear, but Planned Parenthood has alleged that Daleiden and his associates used fake government identifications and used aliases.)

Anyone with an ounce of sense or knowledge would not have believed the preposterous claims against Planned Parenthood. Its destruction/delegitimizing/defunding is the Holy Grail of the American antiabortion movement.

In what was supposed to be some sort of "bombshell," antiabortion crusaders claimed that Nucatola admitted harvesting aborted fetal parts, changing abortion procedures to accommodate the harvesting of aborted fetal parts, then illegally selling the aborted fetal parts to medical researchers.
I watched and rewatched the video. I read the transcript. Although Nucatola's conversation may have been unsavory -- who wants to talk about fetal body parts over salad? -- I never believed for a moment that she was describing anything illegal or unethical.

The sooner the bitch that wrote this story is burning in hell, the happier I will be.
I believe I read that the DA used to work for PP or had another connection to them. Appalling miscarriage of indictment!
No-one seems to know what they are accused of that was illegal.
These were not claims nopr were they preposterous.
They were the very words of PP staff. People who were tasked with supplying baby parts, corpses and tissue samples to outside labs and other sources. Were these people lying while being surreptitiously recorded?
The key here is Lauren Reeder. She’s in the prosecuting attorney’s office AND also on the board of directors for Harris County Planned Parenthood.
Talk about your conflict of interest!!!
Could backfire, when all the PP employees in the videos get questioned under oath.
This may all be grandstanding, a show trial sort of thing so PP can get on TV news soundbites and say the CMP were the ones indicted.
And, maybe get the videos taken down in some sort of a plea deal.
I doubt this will ever go to trial. It’s political, not criminal.
Please do this right now, and pass it on to as many people as you can. This petition is sponsored by LIfeNews.com and it is legit.
Another example of how this country is upside down.
Indict the whistle blower——Leave the Abortionists alone.\
Planned Parenthood is a nasty group. Keep in mind that their head is the daughter of Ann Richards, from Texas politics.
Maybe they should give away birth control pills instead of killing babies in a culture that thinks they should have unlimited sex with whomever they choose.
Look what they did to orchestrate the whole fake Susan Komen situation. It’s all probably been orchestrated by Barack Obama.
'Unsavory'? Yeah, haggling over body parts of aborted babies can be pretty unappetizing, distasteful, or unappealing. It ruins the salad.
Is clinical sociopathy a requirement for working at the LA TImes?
