Hi Usu Ndzem-Usu,When we were asleep the hunters became the hunted
as here below; thanks to the Associated Press and
Co.NDI MANJONG_____________________________________________________________________________________________A Houston
grand jury investigating undercover footage of Planned Parenthood found no
wrongdoing Monday by the abortion provider, and instead
indicted anti-abortion activists involved in making the
videos that targeted the handling of fetal tissue in clinics
and provoked outrage among Republican leaders
nationwide.
David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical
Progress, was indicted on a felony charge of tampering with
a governmental record and a misdemeanor count related to
purchasing human organs. Another activist, Sandra Merritt,
was also indicted on a charge of tampering with a
governmental record, which carries a maximum penalty of 20
years in prison.It's the first time anyone in the group has
been charged criminally since the release of the videos,
which began surfacing last year and alleged that Planned
Parenthood sold fetal tissue to researchers for a profit in
violation of federal law. Planned Parenthood officials have
denied any wrongdoing and have said the videos were
misleadingly edited.The footage from the clinic in Houston showed
people pretending to be from a company called BioMax that
procures fetal tissue for research touring the facility.
Planned Parenthood has previously said that the fake company
sent an agreement offering to pay the "astronomical
amount" of $1,600 for organs from a fetus. The clinic
said it never entered into the agreement and ceased contact
with BioMax because it was "disturbed" by the
overtures.In a statement announcing the indictment, Harris
County District Attorney Devon Anderson did not provide
details on the charges, including what record or records
were allegedly tampered with and why Daleiden faces a charge
related to buying human organs. Her office said it could not
disclose more information and a court spokesman said it was
unclear whether copies of the indictments, which typically
provide more insight, would be made public Monday."We were called upon to investigate
allegations of criminal conduct by Planned Parenthood Gulf
Coast," Anderson, an elected Republican, said in her
statement. "As I stated at the outset of this
investigation, we must go where the evidence leads
us."Daleiden issued a statement saying that his group
"uses the same undercover techniques" as
investigative journalists and follows all applicable
laws."We respect the processes of the Harris
County District Attorney, and note that buying fetal tissue
requires a seller as well," he said.Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who
has his own ongoing investigation into Planned Parenthood,
said Monday that the "the videos exposed the horrific
nature of abortion and the shameful disregard for human
life."The Texas video was the fifth released by the
Center for Medical Progress. The videos provoked an outcry
from the anti-abortion movement and prompted numerous
investigations of Planned Parenthood by Republican-led
committees in Congress and by GOP-led state governments.
Congressional Republicans unsuccessfully called for cutting
off funding for Planned Parenthood.Planned Parenthood has said a few clinics in two
states used to accept legally allowed reimbursement for the
costs of providing tissue donated by some of its abortion
clients. In October, Planned Parenthood announced that it
would no longer accept reimbursement and would cover the
costs itself.The group called Monday's indictments the
latest in a string of victories since the videos were
released, saying that by its count, 11 state investigations
have cleared the nation's largest abortion provider of
claims that it profited from fetal tissue
donation."This is absolutely great news because it is
a demonstration of what Planned Parenthood has said from the
very beginning: We follow every law and regulation and these
anti-abortion activists broke multiple laws to try and
spread lies," said spokeswoman Rochelle Tafolla of
Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast.Before the Texas video was released, Melaney
Linton, president of the Houston Planned Parenthood clinic,
told state lawmakers last summer that it was likely to
feature actors — pretending to be from a company called
BioMax — asking leading questions about how to select
potential donors for a supposed study of sickle cell anemia.
Linton said the footage could feature several interactions
initiated by BioMax about how and whether a doctor could
adjust an abortion if a patient has offered to donate tissue
for medical research.Despite the lofty name of the Center for Medical
Progress, public filings suggest only a small number of
people are affiliated with the nonprofit, none of whom are
scientists or physicians engaged in advancing medical
treatments. The people named as its top officers are
longtime anti-abortion activists with a history of
generating headlines.Earlier this month, Planned Parenthood sued the
center in a California federal
court, alleging extensive criminal misconduct. The lawsuit
says the center's videos were the result of numerous
illegalities, including making recordings without consent,
registering false identities with state agencies and
violating non-disclosure agreements.After the lawsuit was filed, Daleiden told The
Associated Press that he looked forward to confronting
Planned Parenthood in court.———Associated Press Writers Juan A. Lozano in
