Recent statements and court documents indicate that when Vice President Kamala Harris was Attorney General of California, her office colluded with prominent abortion providers as she pursued a criminal case against pro-life journalist David Daleiden, his attorneys argue. As attorney general, Harris took the unprecedented step of charging Daleiden with violating a state eavesdropping law. Part of the investigation entailed seizing a variety of materials from Daleiden's apartment — including then-unreleased undercover video footage of Planned Parenthood. Daleiden's attorneys argue that one of Harris' appointees, Deputy Attorney General Johnette Jauron, effectively admitted in May 2021 that she abused the powers...

he liberal war on unborn human life will reach warp speed should Joe Biden successfully steal the 2020 presidential election and install former Democratic Congressman Xavier Becerra as Health and Human Services Secretary. Like his predecessor as California attorney general, former senator and VP candidate Kamala Harris, Becerra is a rabid anti-life zealot quite willing to use the power of the state to persecute and harass pro-life advocates as he promotes the Biden-Harris abortion-on-demand from conception to birth, and even afterward. Gov. Jerry Brown appointed Becerra, who was first elected to the U.S. House in 1992, to replace Kamala Harris...

Kamala Harris has been nominated by the Democratic Party to be a heartbeat away from the presidency and judging from presidential nominee Joe Biden’s physical and mental condition these days that might not amount to a whole lot of heartbeats. Her ascension would bring to power someone who has made war on the heartbeats of the unborn, someone who has already used that power to shred the Constitution’s guarantee of the freedom of the press and persecute an investigative a reporter who exposed Planned Parenthood’s efforts to harvest and sell aborted fetal body parts. David Daleiden is head of a...

A pro-life activist is suing Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.), arguing that she launched an investigation into his undercover journalism project to protect political allies that include abortion activists. The lawsuit argues that the state of California targeted David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), after he released a series of viral undercover videos showing abortion facility employees candidly discussing the sale of fetal organs and other body parts. Harris, the suit says, abused her office and violated the reporters' constitutional rights "by orchestrating the first and only prosecution of a journalist under California's video recording law."...

San Francisco, CA — Testimony has concluded in the punitive RICO case brought by Planned Parenthood against pro-life activists, including Operation Rescue’s Troy Newman, who exposed Planned Parenthood’s participation in the illegal trafficking of aborted baby tissues and organs. It is a trial that has had its high and low moments. Of note recently was the admission under oath by a representative from Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) that is still has a contract with Planned Parenthood to supply them aborted baby body parts. That means the organ trafficking continues — and so do Planned Parenthood’s potential crimes! In another development,...

SAN FRANCISCO, California, November 6, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — The fifth week of the massive Planned Parenthood federal civil suit against the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) ended with witnesses for the abortion giant claiming the CMP videos exposing its trafficking in aborted baby body parts led to fears of increased violence against abortionists. Last Friday’s “action-packed day in court” featured some “really, really tough testimony,” according to Peter Breen, one of David Daleiden’s lawyers and senior counsel with the Thomas More Society, in an update on the case. That included National Abortion Federation (NAF) head of security Michelle Davidson “talking...

There were more shocking revelations from abortionists this week as the witness and evidence presentations ended yesterday for the civil trial in the San Francisco Federal District Court. Admissions on the witness stand this week included the founder/president Linda Tracy and procurement manager Perrin Larton of Advanced Bioscience Resources, Inc. (ABR), a U.S. wholesaler of aborted baby body parts since 1989. ABR’s yearly revenues are about $1.1 to $1.5 million, all from harvesting and purchasing livers, lungs, and brains in abortion facilities and re-selling the body parts to taxpayer-funded research laboratories at enormous mark-up prices. Tracy stated under oath in...

There's been a "game-changer" at the California civil trial in which Planned Parenthood is suing the investigators whose undercover videos exposed the abortion industry's scheme to profit from the sale of baby body parts. For the first time, jurors were allowed to see portions of the videos that were released in 2015. The videos -- featuring Planned Parenthood executives making admissions on hidden camera -- caused a furor that caught the attention of lawmakers. California regulators shut down businesses that had been buying body parts, and two congressional committees referred companies and individuals for possible prosecution. The committees cited a...

Dr. Leslie Drummond-Hay, who was the former head of Planned Parenthood Northern California and Mar Monte, said that she was once asked to provide four intact limbs for Stem Express, and was successful in doing so. Drummond-Hay was giving evidence at a trial in San...

Last week, a California abortionist testified under oath that there is “no question” abortionists are allowing babies to be born alive in order to harvest their organs, a report from LifeSiteNews revealed. Testifying during a preliminary hearing in the criminal case against undercover journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt earlier in the month, Dr. Forrest Smith outlined gruesome details of the abortion business, of which he said Daleiden and Merritt only captured the “tip of the iceberg” with their shocking undercover videos.

The Hon. Peter Breen, Vice President and Senior Counsel of the Thomas More Society, offers a legal analysis of the ongoing preliminary hearing in the criminal case: The People of the State of California v David Daleiden, Sandra Merritt.

Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch requested the investigation of pro-life undercover journalists who exposed Planned Parenthood's trafficking in baby body parts, a California Department of Justice official testified Tuesday. Special Agent Brian Cardwell said Lynch sent a letter to California Attorney General Kamala Harris requesting that David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress be investigated.

The California Attorney General’s Office asked for a court gag order Tuesday that could prevent the public from learning the truth about David Daleiden’s shocking undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood. Daleiden and Sandra Merritt face 15 felony charges for invasion of privacy in California after they exposed Planned Parenthood’s allegedly illegal sales of aborted baby body parts. Their preliminary hearing began last week with a witness for the abortion industry admitting that the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) videos were “not altered.” Then, a biotech company CEO who worked with Planned Parenthood admitted that they harvested aborted babies’ hearts while...

The FBI has asked the Senate for unredacted documents it obtained from abortion providers, signaling agents may be investigating whether Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers illegally sold fetal tissue and body parts, according to sources familiar with the document request. The request was made in recent days, the sources said, to the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), last December referred Planned Parenthood and several other abortion providers to the FBI for investigation after a lengthy probe into the transfers of fetal tissue. Grassley said at the time that his committee had uncovered enough evidence in...
