Yesterday, California’s Attorney General, Xavier Becerra,
charged undercover journalist David Daleiden with 15 felony charges in
connection with his Planned Parenthood’s baby body parts exposé videos.
Daleiden’s legal defense team member, Tom Brejcha,
President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Society, issued the following
statement in response:
"When it comes to felony charges against our client,
David Daleiden, history is on our side. When David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt
were falsely charged in Texas, after they mounted a vigorous defense, the
charges were abruptly dropped. We expect that the same will prove true in
California.
“The world knows that Planned Parenthood’s business
partners, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics, have been sued by Orange
County, California. The lawsuit alleges that they illegally profited from the
sale of human baby body parts from abortions. This confirms the truth of what
has been depicted in Daleiden’s videos.
“David Daleiden and his co-defendant, Sandra Merritt, will
be vindicated. They will assert robust defenses to these charges. Their efforts
led to numerous criminal referrals by both Senate and House investigative
committees. Their efforts were furtherance of First Amendment values and are
clothed with the same Constitutional protection that all investigative
journalists deserve and must enjoy. Undercover journalism has been a vital tool
in our politics and self-governance.”
