** BIG ABORTION v. DAVID DALEIDEN ([link removed])

BY EPPC Visiting Fellow Alexandra DeSanctis
The Human Life Review
David Daleiden published video evidence suggesting that prominent abortionists, Planned Parenthood executives, and biotechnology companies were engaged in a systematic campaign to profit from the body parts of aborted babies, in violation of state and federal laws. Nearly six years later, despite congressional investigations confirming much of what he had exposed, Daleiden and his team have been the only ones to face serious legal repercussions.

The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
