WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is rejecting an appeal from an anti-abortion group that surreptitiously recorded Planned Parenthood employees.

The justices joined lower courts Monday in allowing Planned Parenthood’s racketeering and other claims against the Center for Medical Progress to proceed. Two members of the group also are facing criminal charges in California over the secret recordings.

The center says its videos show Planned Parenthood employees illegally selling parts of aborted fetuses.

Planned Parenthood says the center surreptitiously accessed its conferences to gain meetings with its staff and create deceptively edited and false videos that were posted online.

Planned Parenthood denied wrongdoing in connection with its fetal tissue practices.

People need to know who has been paying for the white terror and propaganda.

Contrary to what the pro-birth crowd may claim, MOST Americans feel Planned Parenthood does good, vital work and most don't have a problem with fetal tissue research. Even Ben Carson did fetal tissue research at one time.

than to see David Daleiden taken down in court. The oxymoronic "Center for Medical Progress" is a crime syndicate that should be held directly responsible for instigating the domestic terrorist attack at the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood - but I'll settle for a whoop-ass can of RICO if it brings these criminals down.

"Two members of the group also are facing criminal charges in California over the secret recordings."

Why aren't they locked up and fined and stopped? How was this allowed to go to SCOTUS?
