California Court Blocks Release of New Planned Parenthood Videos


The Center for Medical Progress released three covertly recorded videos so far that have riled anti-abortion activists. The Senate is expected to vote on a Republican effort to end any federal aid to Planned Parenthood after viewing the videos.

Fox news quotes the parties:

In a statement Wednesday, center leader David Daleiden said StemExpress was using “meritless litigation” to cover up an “illegal baby parts trade.”

“The Center for Medical Progress follows all applicable laws in the course of our investigative journalism work,” he said.

StemExpress is a Placerville-based company started in 2010 that provides human tissue, blood and other specimens to researchers. Planned Parenthood is one of the company’s providers of fetal tissue.

A company spokesman said StemExpress is “grateful its rights have been vindicated in a court of law.”

The full story is here.

Planned Parenthood affiliates in fewer than five states provide fetal tissue for researchers, according to that organization. The Center for Medical Progress accuses the abortion firm of illegally making a profit from that.

The temporary restraining order issued Tuesday will remain in place until a hearing on Aug. 19.
