| Grand jury investigating Planned Parenthood indicts anti-abortion activists instead |
| 2016-01-26 |
| [Guardian] In a surprise move, a Texas grand jury investigating Planned Parenthood wrapped up on Monday by issuing several indictments not to the women's healthcare provider, but to two of the anti-abortion activists who had prompted the investigation. The grand jury, convened by the Harris County district attorney's office, indicted David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt for tampering with a governmental record, the DA's office announced. Daleiden received a second indictment under a law prohibiting the purchase and sale of human organs. Daleiden is the founder of the group, the Center for Medical Progress, that filmed and released a series of sting videos edited so they appeared to show Planned Parenthood employees selling fetal tissue in violation of federal law. |

| #10 We don't have laws against it, but I guess they figure blasphemy must be punished somehow. |

| #9 They're going after him for (1) Ginning up a fake ID to gain access; and (2) Soliciting the sale/trafficking of human organs. See: David Daleiden Faces 20 Years in Prison for Using Fake ID to Expose Planned Parenthood An example must be made, doncha know. |

| #8 Clearly a corrupt DA. I've read that one of the investigating DAs sits on the Board of the Houston Planned Parenthood. |

| #6 Next - 60 Minutes, Frontline, et al. Not to mention your local 'investigative' reporting. |

| #5 I hope Daleiden's and his Center for Medical Progress has an effective legal team, one specializing in tax and IRS matters. |

| #2 If they are guilty in the purchasing of human organs they may want to review the evidence and get the sales person as well. |
