David Daleiden, the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, whose videos allegedly exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal back channel deals to sell baby parts on a black market, has now filed a defamation claim in the state of New York against Planned Parenthood for lying about the content of his videos.
Daleiden is represented by the Thomas More Society, a public interest law firm that is “dedicated to restoring respect in law for life, family, and religious liberty.”
The complaint alleges “For over 20 years, Defendant Planned Parenthood Federation of America (“PPFA”), the largest elective abortion provider in the United States, has permitted and even encouraged its abortion clinics to supply aborted human fetuses, fetal organs, and fetal tissues for research experimentation, frequently in exchange for valuable consideration paid to the clinics…
The Videos focused attention both on PPFA’s fetal tissue research programs and on its clinics’ relationships with third-party vendors of human fetal tissue, prompting two comprehensive, year-long Congressional investigations.
Both Congressional investigations issued criminal referrals to the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) against PPFA, multiple PPFA regional affiliates, and their business partners for selling fetal tissue against the law.
DOJ then launched a criminal investigation into Planned Parenthood and others. And one of the third-party fetal-tissue vendors, DaVinci Biosciences, admitted guilt for illegally selling fetal body parts from PPFA affiliate Planned Parenthood of Orange & San Bernardino Counties in a $7.8 million settlement with the Orange County District Attorney.
Daleiden has released at least 9 videos exposing this criminal enterprise on the Center for Medical Progress website and YouTube, the first of which featured a Planned Parenthooddirector talking about dismembering fetuses and the sales for such items. Another video has an executive joking about buying a Lamborghini from the sales of these dismembered babies while talking about how much the Center for Medical Process is “used to” paying for dismembered baby parts. These videos came as the former president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, denied the allegations.
The following is from Pro Life Across America
- 18 days from conception, heart begins to beat, with the baby’s own blood.
- 28 days from conception a baby has eyes, ears, and even a tongue!
- 28 days from conception: Muscles are developing along the future spine. Arms and legs are budding.
- 30 days: Child has grown 10,000 times to 6-7mm (1/4”) long. Brain has human proportions. Blood flows in veins.
- 42 days: Skeleton is formed. Brain coordinates movement of muscles and organs. Reflex responses have begun.
- 42 days: Brain waves can be detected, the jaw forms, including teeth and taste buds. The unborn baby begins to swallow amniotic fluid. Fingers and toes are developing.
- 45 days from conception: The unborn baby is making body movements, a full 12 weeks before the mother may notice such stirrings. By seven weeks the chest and abdomen are fully formed. Swimming with a natural swimmer’s stroke in the amniotic fluid, the baby now looks like a miniature human infant.
- 44-45 days: Buds of milk teeth appear, and the unborn baby’s facial muscles develop. Eyelids begin to form, protecting the developing eyes. Elbows take shape. Internal organs are present, but immature. 99% of muscles are present, each with its own nerve supply.
- 52 Days: Spontaneous movement begins. The unborn baby then develops a whole collection of moves over the next 4 weeks including hiccuping, frowning, squinting, furrowing the brow, pursing the lips, moving individual arms and legs, head turning, touching his/her face, breathing (without air), stretching, opening the mouth, yawning and sucking. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Psalms 139:14-16
