Life Legal Defense Foundation: 'U.S. SUPREME COURT declines to reconsider WILD UNJUST JUDGMENT against CMP HEROES….'


Published October 2, 2023

In a victory for the abortion industry over long-standing legal principle, the U.S. Supreme Court this morning declined to reconsider the outrageous judgment won in a San Francisco Court against pro-life heroes of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), who in their ground-breaking videos exposed Planned Parenthood’s ghoulish and illegal trade in baby body parts. Life Legal petitioned for a writ of certiorari in this case back in May of this year.

One point that cannot be overemphasized is that, despite oceans of obfuscation from the pro-abortion mainstream media, the undercover videos from CMP did not just allege anything. Rather, they proved that Planned Parenthood was breaking the law by peddling aborted “fetal tissue” — including whole late-term hearts, livers, brains, and heads — for “valuable consideration.” Abortionists were caught on tape bargaining for maximum advantage in such exchanges.

This truth was never seriously disputed in the civil trial that led to over $2 million in damages and $14 million in attorney fees against pro-lifers. It was never disputed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals when that body upheld the judgment.

Our petition, therefore, addressed other questions: whether claims against CMP’s heroes should be dismissed, given that the plaintiffs suffered no injury, and whether the lower courts were in error when they affirmed damages to Planned Parenthood to compensate for its own voluntary expenditures.

Our petition was convincingly argued and strongly rooted in general legal principles and in case law. Unfortunately, as typically happens, the Court declined to grant certiorari.

The same Court noted in Dobbs v. Jackson, the ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, that both Roe and Casey led to the distortion of legal doctrines unrelated to abortion. Although Roe and Casey are now reversed, their corruption of the law continues in cases such as Planned Parenthood v. CMP. The precedent of awarding damages in compensation for voluntary expenditures is an extremely dangerous one, and the legal sharks are circling to put it into practice against people not involved in the pro-life movement. It is an issue that will have to be resolved in the future, and in our view it would have been better for everyone to resolve it now.

Way back in the 1980s, prominent Southern novelist Walker Percy, best known for The Moviegoer, addressed the pro-abortion crowd directly. “You may get your way,” he said, “but you can’t have it both ways. You’re going to be told what you’re doing.” Pro-lifers are still telling the abortion syndicate what it’s doing. The torturous abuse of the law employed against CMP’s heroes is yet more evidence that the abortionists can’t endure hearing the truth.

A Deeper Evil Than Other Forms of Murder

 By Zephram Foster - Posted at American Reformer: You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is born. -The Didache Deep Witchcraft “Nobody likes abortion,” so says the bleeding heart. “It’s just a necessary evil, we need to have more sympathy for victims.” The victims in view, oddly enough, are always the perpetrators carrying out the massacre, never the children being slaughtered. So blow the winds of our time. If you’re a Christian who affirms what the historic Christian faith has to say about the killing of an unborn child, you’ve probably had an encounter like the one above. You’ve probably been told that you just need to try and empathize more with the suffering mothers, and then you would see that the issue isn’t as black and white as your bigotry has l

This is what Ohio and six other states voted for and celebrate

 By Nancy Flanders - Posted at LiveAction: Earlier this month, Ohio voted to enshrine abortion as a “right” in its state constitution. Six other states have done likewise in the last year, including California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, and Vermont. Killing children in the womb at any point in pregnancy is now a protected action in these states. To accomplish this, abortion proponents had to convince the majority of voters that women have a “right” to dead children, and they had to erase the casualties of that “right” entirely. Erasing the primary victim is easy in the abortion debate. These victims can’t march down streets carrying posters and chanting for their equal rights — because they’re dead. They were killed without the opportunity to even cry out. Their bodies were then buried — not in proper graves, but hidden and disposed of in medical waste facilities, dumpsters, and the sewer system after being brutally suctioned, dismembered, or injected with lethal drugs.
