They never give up, they keep doing the same thing until they "win" and we all suffer.

(51,907 posts)4.  Who’s Behind the Planned Parenthood Sting Video? Troy Newman—and Other Rabid Anti-Choicers
http://www.thenation.com/article/whos-behind-the-planned-parenthood-sting-video-troy-newman-and-other-rabid-anti-choicers/
soon as a video purporting to expose Planned Parenthood for selling fetal tissue emerged, suspicions arose that the creators, going under the name The Center for Medical Progress (CMP), were not citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances, as their website declared, but anti-choice internet yahoos, as feminist journalist Jill Filipovic tweeted. The video, long on misleading editing and short on any evidence for its claims of illegal behavior, had all the hallmarks of right-wing agitprop.
David Daleiden, the founder of CMP and the main promoter of the video, has emerged as the face of the group and the target of scrutiny; his previous anti-choice activity included a stint working for the credibility-challenged group Live Action, which promoted the video. But the groups more intriguing connections are hidden in a short filing with the state of California, which shows that CMP is led not by well-meaning bioethics geeks but by some familiar characters in the anti-choice movement.
A initial registration form for CMP (viewable here), filed with the Office of the California attorney general in 2013, lists three board members: David Daleiden, Albin Rhomberg, and Troy Newman.
Newman, who is listed as the groups secretary, is the president of Operation Rescue, a pro-life group that ran the multi-decade harassment campaign of Dr. George Tiller of Wichita, Kansas, a campaign that only ended when Scott Roeder, who was an active part of Operation Rescue activities in Wichita, murdered Tiller in his church in 2009.
