A federal jury in San Francisco ruled in favor of Planned Parenthood Friday, handing the group victory in its lawsuit against anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress and it's president David Daleiden, who they say illegally recorded and then deceptively edited videos of doctors and staff.
Planned Parenthood won a lawsuit worth $2 million Friday, after a jury found that an anti-abortion group had broken multiple laws by secretly recording and releasing manipulatively edited video footage of doctors and staff.
Planned Parenthood says that clandestinely recorded video footage was manipulated and edited to make it appear as though they were attempting to profit off of fetal tissue donations, something they deny has ever taken place. Planned Parenthood alleges that Daleiden and Merritt's alter egos"Robert Sarkis" and"Susan Tannenbaum" surreptitiously recorded conversations with company officials. The videos were recorded at clinics and industry conferences, and featured the pair seeking tissue from abortions for"medical research."
