Contact: Edward L. White III, Senior Counsel, American Center for Law and Justice, 734-680-8007; Attorney for Troy Newman
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16, 2016 /
Christian Newswire/ -- In an effort to silence the truth about their illegal selling of baby body parts for profit, Planned Parenthood Federation of America and several California Planned Parenthood affiliates have filed a lawsuit naming Troy Newman, David Daleiden, the Center for Medical Progress, and several others as defendants.
This lawsuit is similar to one filed last August by the National Abortion Federation (NAF) in an attempt to prevent the public, prosecutors, legislators, and other government officials from gaining access to evidence of abortion providers admitting to various criminal acts.
Among many other inaccuracies and falsehoods in the lawsuit is the defamatory claim that Operation Rescue and Troy support and incite violence against abortion clinics and providers, despite the fact that both have stated - on numerous occasions - that only the government has the moral authority to take human life, and even the government may only do so after due process has been afforded in accordance with law.
The PPFA lawsuit is another attempt to deprive the First Amendment rights of those who want to expose the illegal acts and other wrongs of the abortion industry to the public. Troy plans to fight this lawsuit with the same vigor as he is fighting the similar NAF suit.
"Planned Parenthood lawsuits will not make me quit! I have read too many autopsy reports of women they have murdered, I have held the remains of babies they butchered, I have read the lies they spew in depositions, and I have witnessed their gruesome crimes against humanity. Nothing short of my life will stop me from the relentless pursuit of the truth to expose the barbaric bloodshed of Planned Parenthood. I will not stop, I will not relent. May God empower me to fight this treachery of human life to my last breath." -- Troy Newman, President, Operation Rescue
