A salvo of nine more Planned Parenthood undercover videos arriving soon.
2015-07-30
[Daily Caller] WASHINGTON -- David Daleiden, founder of the Center For Medical Progress (CMP), told conservative talk radio host Sean Hannity Tuesday there are nine more sting-operation videos that reveal Planned Parenthood's operations.

"We have close to 300 hours total of undercover video that was gathered during a 30 month long in depth investigative journalism study of how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of the babies they abort," Daleiden said, noting that each highlight video released will have the full footage posted on their website without any edits.

CMP has already released three videos showing Planned Parenthood officials, personnel, and doctors discussing the harvesting of aborted baby parts. Congress proposed legislation Wednesday to defund Planned Parenthood's abortion activity and moving the money to community health centers and hospitals instead.

Planned Parenthood has hired a Washington D.C. based crisis management firm to deal with the fallout.

Court bars anti-abortion group from releasing new videos

[SacramentoBee] Lawfare. This should be interesting.
The butchery of the unborn is tearing this country apart. The videos will be seen. The truth will become known.

#9  Unconstitutional? Depends on whose constitution you're talking about! The old, dead-white-guy one or the New Progressive Living Constitution.

#8  The CA videos were taped in public restaurants, where one can't assume privacy.

#6  The basis is almost certainly CA state law that makes illegal recording of any conversation during which one of the recorded parties reasonably believed the conversation to be private.

CMP appears to be headquartered in Irvine, CA so, even though Irvine is not in LA County, it's clear that the court had jurisdiction (and even if CMP were headquartered anywhere else on Earth CA's long-arm statute would dragoon them into a forum of the plaintiff's choosing).

CMP can be morally correct and criminally liable, those aren't mutually exclusive.

#5  Read this morning that some judge has issued a temporary restraining order against further release of these vids. I do not understand the grounds for issuing such a restraining order. Here. The restraining order was issued in LA, California. It wouldn't seem that it would apply to other jurisdictions outside the state.

#4  It will come down to being recorded in a public restaurant where you have no expectation of privacy = release the vids (or just claim you were hacked and flood the net with them)

#3  Lawfare. This should be interesting.

It isn't, it's a prior restraint on speech and pretty much unquestionably unconstitutional. Dumb ruling. Then again this is the same court in which we used to deal with a judge who was (in)famous for being asleep more often than awake while on the bench.

The truth will become known.

But will anything change and if so will the change be sustained? That pretty clearly wouldn't be the way to bet.
