On Monday, the State of California reached an agreement with Center for Medical Progress founder David Daleiden and undercover reporter Sandra Merritt to dismiss the prosecution for producing video recordings that exposed Planned Parenthood’s alleged trafficking and sale of foetal body parts.

The case against Daleiden and Merritt was launched by then-Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris.

The current California Attorney General’s office has agreed however to a plea deal that includes no admission of wrongdoing on the part of Daleiden or Merritt, and no prison time or fines. Incredibly, it has taken nine years to get to this point. The videos produced were clearly in the public interest, showing the obscene behaviour of Planned Parenthood executives haggling with research companies over the prices for body parts of recently aborted unborn babies.

Commenting on Monday’s development, Daleiden told Live Action News: “After 9 years of unprecedented political prosecution, putting an end to the lawfare launched by Kamala Harris is a huge victory for my investigative reporting and for the public’s right to know the truth about Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby body parts. Now we must all get to work to protect families and infants from the criminal abortion-industrial complex.”
