Jury Renders Verdict Against Pro-Life Activists in Planned Parenthood Baby Parts Case
OPERATION RESCUE ^ | Nov 15, 2019 | Operation Rescue

PRESS RELEASE

San Francisco, CA – Moments ago, a jury of ten issued adverse verdicts in a Federal civil suit brought by Planned Parenthood against five pro-life activists who exposed its participation in the illegal trafficking of aborted baby remains.

Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, was found liable for $870,000 in damages for his service as a founding board member of the Center for Medical Progress. Civil counts against him included conspiracy, fraud, and violations of the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

Newman maintains that his participation in the undercover journalistic project was completely legal and that he engaged in no wrongdoing. He vows to appeal the verdicts.

“I want to thank my legal team from the American Center for Law and Justice for their hard work defending me in this lengthy, complex, and difficult case, and look forward to a better outcome in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which has become more conservative thanks to new appointments made by President Trump,” said Newman.

Planned Parenthood lodged the punitive lawsuit against Newman, Sandra Merritt, David Daleiden, Albin Rhomberg, and Adrian Lopez after the release of a series of CMP videos, which documented Planned Parenthood executives admitting they sold aborted baby remains for profit, committed battery on women by illegally altering abortion procedures to ensure intact organs that would bring the most money, and harvested still-beating hearts from the bodies of babies born alive during abortions.

The jury was never allowed to view more than a few moments of video, which may have made a tremendous difference in the outcome of this case.

We have a major Spiritual problem in America when a company that makes money killing babies wins a case against a man that is exposing the horrors they are doing without people knowledge........like harvesting baby body parts............Pray that this is appealed and over turned

Take home message: Leave Satan’s minions alone to their butchery or they will ruin your life.

God will have the last word, though.

No there still is an appeals court. It’s not over and we did expose them this time. In a way it was worth it. God never said the road would be easy. The next court needs to be outside of San Fran and more than anything out side of California.

Both cases we lost today have ample grounds for appeal.

The Pro-Life side losing was a foregone conclusion due to where the case was tried.

As they say no good deed goes unpunished in a corrupt society.

It is the sign and verification of a society with reprobates which is beyond redemption and will be judged here and now.

“which documented Planned Parenthood executives admitting they sold aborted baby remains for profit, committed battery on women by illegally altering abortion procedures to ensure intact organs that would bring the most money, and harvested still-beating hearts from the bodies of babies born alive during abortions.”

if this is true, Planned Parenthood is guilty on all counts. Case Closed.

I guess words don’t mean what they mean.

Previous stories indicated the “judge” required a guilty verdict.

a travesty for sure, but just round one in their kangaroo court.

our fearless David, like another David long ago, can now close with his gloating and overconfident “Goliath,” and get the greater glory for our God against the enemy. may God grant him the eventual victory!

We knew this was the likely outcome. Especially considering the judge and his instructions. The innocent in Christ are often found guilty in the eyes of the world. But the guilty verdict could not stop the truth about the evil of PP being exposed. Now I want to see the authorities having jurisdiction go after PP for that evil.

“Take it to the Supreme Court!”

I’m making another one of my famous Free Republic predictions right here and now.

This will go to the Supreme Court and this will be what over turns Roe Vs Wade

Sodom and Gemorrah were destroyed because of Judicial injustice, not because of the Homosexuality that brought it.
