Planned Parenthood wins $2m lawsuit against anti-abortion group behind fake videos and 'malicious campaign'

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/planned-parenthood-wins-2m-lawsuit-013616347.html


An anti-abortion group broke the law by trespassing, illegally recording and manipulating videos to make Planned Parenthood officials appear as though they were profiting off fetal tissue donations, a federal jury ruled on Friday.

The six-week trial ended with the jury ordering the Centre for Medical Progress to pay nearly $2.3m (£1.8m) in damages for violating multiple federal and state laws.

David Daleiden, the president of the anti-abortion group, was found to have trespassed on private property and committed other crimes in recording the 2015 videos. He and other employees of the centre were ordered to pay varying amounts.

So basically all investigative journalism is now actionable.

That's the only way to stop these people from lying and destroying innocent lives.

Sue them to bankrupt them so they can't keep spreading their lies.

What's incredible is that the video has been proven to be nothing but a bunch of lies yet the far right radical extremists still repeat the lies from that video.

They don't realize that people know it's all a lie. Spreading those lies only makes people not pay any attention to them and never believe anything they say.

They have to lie because the truth isn't on their side.

The judgement had nothing to do with the content of the videos, they lost due to "trespass" as they misrepresented themselves to gain access.

So basically now according to this judge and jury anyone who does undercover journalism can be sued by the people they are investigating.

Great win for the press here.

These extremists are continually being found out. Have they ever made a film that is honest?

Have you ever made a post that isn't absurd and pointless? Tell us all you know about the Center for Medical Progress.

That's what slave holders used to say.... Keep your nose out of my plantation. You amoral assholes are all alike.

In the unlikely event PP collects, they'll just give the money to Democrats.

You got that backwards. Democrats give to PP.

He is absolutely right. And sadly EVERY American gives to PP through their taxes.

The second crime

You reimburse PP for services rendered the same as any doctor treating Medicaid/Medicare patients.

They hate women.

No They hate people being allowed to avoid the natural and foreseeable consequences of their willful acts.

Nobody forced them to have sex. Even with contraceptive devices, pregnancy is a foreseeable ptential consequence of sex. If you don’t want to take that risk, don’t have sex.

You have that backwards, sir. I’ve spent my entire life observing human behaviors; their causes, effects, etc... That’s the type of insight one gains when you find yourself outside of the regular structure of society either by choice or unfortunate circumstances (or both in my case).

A far left activist court...

It will be appealed... and they will get nothing.... count on it!

I am not certain how this case will end; however, there is at least a strong possibility the SCOTUS will reverse the lower court's decision. The following are excerpts from an article in the FEDERALIST:

Breen has several solid grounds for appeal, and initially will likely challenge presiding judge William Orrick III’s refusal to recuse from the case. While appellate courts are hesitant to second-guess a trial court’s decision on whether recusal is required, in this case the facts strongly suggest recusal was required.

Specifically, Judge Orrick was a founder and a longtime officer and director of the Good Samaritan Family Resource Center, an organization which, according to Daleiden, houses and participates in a joint venture with one of the named Planned Parenthood affiliates. Further, during the pendency of this case, as Breen pointed out in briefing, Orrick was “held out to the public as serving as an Emeritus Board Member of [the Good Samaritan Family Resource Center].”

Judge Orrick’s refusal to allow Daleiden and the other defendants to testify concerning their reasonable beliefs about abuses in the fetal tissue business, from harvesting of organs from born-alive babies to selling tissue and body parts for profit, as well as the judge’s decision barring the admission of the video evidence, will also be areas ripe for reversal.

However, the most significant legal aspect of this case concerns the First Amendment—and it is that issue which will likely result in this case eventually reaching the Supreme Court. That prospect promises not just vindication for Daleiden but assures further exposure to the reality of the violence of abortion.

Breen’s argument has strong support in the case law, specifically the seminal circuit court decision involving undercover journalists: Food Lion Incorp. v. Capital Cities ABC. That case also involved undercover journalists using false pretenses and hidden cameras to expose the heinous practices of butchers, albeit in that case they were working in Food Lion grocery stores and not abortion clinics.

Why The Planned Parenthood Whistleblower Will Hit The Supreme Court

Oh, looky there: A corrupt Democrat judge being corrupt.

 

[daveman]

Actually, you don't control your own body. Want to shoot up some heroin or sell yourself on a street corner?

Nope and nope.

Well, those things should be legal...

To the point, I'm still waiting to hear one of you nuts tell me how you are going to enforce a law that the vast majority opposes..

Look up "Prohibition" if you are confused.

Since you brought up Prostitution, how many massage parlors, escort services, streetwalkers are in your town where prostitution is supposedly "Illegal".

They judgement had nothing to do with the content of their production, it had to do with them misrepresenting themselves to gain access and trespassing. So basically this judge and jury have now declared that any investigative journalism involving misrepresenting to gain access is now actionable.

This will be thrown out on appeal on 1st amendment grounds.

Probably not... and they'll spend more than that paying for lawyers to run it up the flagpole... so there's that.

You see, the big problem isn't what they uncovered, it's that they deceptively edited the tapes to misrepresent what was happening.

 

[JoeB131]

So basically all investigative journalism is now actionable.

No, just the ones where you illegally tape people and then edit the footage deceptively to smear them.

That's what slave holders used to say.... Keep your nose out of my plantation. You amoral assholes are all alike.

Wow... that's what you are arguing, that a woman's vagina is like a plantation? Really?

What kind of women do you date? Oh, wait, you probably haven't gotten laid since the 90's.

The judgement had nothing to do with the content of the videos, they lost due to "trespass" as they misrepresented themselves to gain access.

So basically now according to this judge and jury anyone who does undercover journalism can be sued by the people they are investigating.

Great win for the press here.

Don't lie.
Don't secretly tape people without their permission
Don't edit the people to misrepresent what occurred.

Frankly, I hope they start holding all journalists to this kind of standard.

Um...yeah. Guns have to be manufactured..

Sorry you are confused on this point. But every other industrialized nation has already figured this out.
